Foundations of Emergency Management

Objectives:
FEMA recognizes the need to tie training programs to an established set of emergency management competencies and to a Career Development Program. This is done through a progressive training and education system that includes the entry-level National Emergency Management Basic Academy.

The Emergency Management Institute, in conjunction with the National Emergency Management Association; the International Association of Emergency Managers; and state, local, territorial, and tribal emergency management professionals have established training objectives to meet the professional development needs of emergency managers.
