Hubert was in southeast Missouri as an employee of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He was helping provide assistance to the area due to recent tornadoes and severe weather.

The way I was reading that is he was providing assistance to to RECENT tornadoes and was not in an area of active tornadoes. He was employed as a data analysist in Cape Girardeau. https://fox4kc.com/news/cape-girardeau-police-searching-for-kansas-city-man-last-seen-friday/

Granted, that's the media's term for his job function, but ihe could have been working with various analysis, data visualizations and models to support the agency (I don't know his education but such positions often useSQL, Python/pandas, statistics, geospatial and machine learning skills). Whatever the exact role, he has to be a very smart young man.

I'd be interested in knowing if he was full time FEMA or a CORE employee. Cadre of On-Call Response/Recovery Employees (CORE) employees are hired to work for a specific, limited period, between two to four years. These positions may be renewed if there is ongoing disaster work and funding is available. They are generally eligible for the same benefits as Permanent Full-Time employees, but do not gain competitive status nor career tenure during their term so the workers are more likely to leave if something more stable and long term comeso up. But I dont see him being the kind of personality to just no show a job for another one.

With the last personal sighting at the Holiday Inn Express and his mentioning a hike, I lean more towards something occuring when he was traveling to or actively hiking possibly the area he mentioned. I hope they are searching it. A last question - the rental car - was it rented for work or for personal use? If for work, it limits him ethically on where he can go with it without approval, and if travel outside of the norm is approved (which can happen, you just have to make the required requests) there would be a record of where he was to travel to/from.

Here is his Facebook, nothing posted recently. Log into Facebook

He is also a keyboardest in this band, no scheduled tour dates (last live performance for which tickets were sold looks like early May)

Friends and family are looking for Kansas City man Nate Hubert, who went missing on Saturday after not showing up to work.

The 32-year-old Hubert was last seen Friday in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, by his co-workers, according to police. Hubert works as data analyst for FEMA, and he was in Cape Girardeau helping with tornado and flood relief. His parents said he has been there since June 9.

Ed Hubert, Hubert’s father, said that when his son didn’t show up for work, FEMA checked his hotel room and the local hospital and contacted his co-workers.

Ed Hubert said he doesn’t think Hubert left on purpose because all his equipment is still sitting untouched in his room.

Police reported that Hubert was heading westbound near the intersection of Highway 72 and Highway 34.

His friends said his last known message was sent through WhatsApp on Thursday evening, and that he may have been planning to hike at the Trail of Tears park on Friday.

Thanks for the map - for the bodies of water shown, I don't thnk you could end up in one of them off the main road, most are located well within subdivisions.

What strikes me as odd - if you blow up the google map of the 72 and 34 area to see where he was "heading westbound" in relation to the Trail of Tears Park - he was heading AWAY from it - not towards it. Did he change his mind as to where he wanted to hike? Had he already hiked and was heading elsewhere? That seems more likely given friends have stated he had "hiked" (past tense) before he went missing.

It was 10:36 PM so would be heading back from a hike if that's what he did.
 
If he went hiking in Trail of Tears State Park and was returning to / staying at the Holiday Inn in Cape Girardeau, then heading westbound at the intersection of 72 and 34 makes little sense.
