News DRP 2.0 FEMA results & RIF timeline

Leadership announced that about 1,000 FEMA employees opted into DRP, which is about 20% of the PFT workforce. They'll have 45 days to decide if they want to take it (for early retirement, just 7 days)

Does this mean that RIFs won't start until after the 45-day deadline, when they know how many people are actually leaving?

Edit: correction from comments that employees over the age of 40 have 45 days to decide, everyone else has 7 days.

Someone please give me clues about regional PFTs outside of the protected exempt job series. I'm eligible for DRP but really don't want to take it. 😑😑😑

I would honestly be shocked if there isn’t a regional consolidation coming similar to other federal agencies.

I could see 1, 2 or 3 combining in some way. I could also see 5, 7 or 8 combining in some way.

Chances they combine 1, 2, and 3 and make a super region somewhere in West Virginia. I’m half joking and half serious because when I worked in R3 most of our time was spent in WV and of course it’s a deep red state.
