Emergency Management Institute Training Assistance

To defray travel and per diem expenses of State, local, tribal, and Territorial emergency management personnel who attend training courses conducted by the Emergency Management Institute (EMI), at the Emmitsburg, Maryland facility; the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) in Anniston, Alabama; and selected off-site locations. Its purpose is to improve emergency management practices among State, local, tribal, and Territorial government managers, in response to emergencies and disasters. Programs embody the Comprehensive Emergency Management System by unifying the elements of management common to all emergencies: planning, preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery. EMI training is conducted in an effort to strengthen the security and resilience of the United States through systematic preparation for the threats that pose the greatest risk to the security of the Nation, including acts of terrorism, cyber-attacks, pandemics, and catastrophic natural disasters. This program supports the national training program as mentioned in the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, and the national preparedness system. This program also supports FEMA�s strategic plan goal 3 to promote and sustain a ready FEMA and prepared nation. Performance measures are based on total cost per student day of training for EMI resident, off-site and Independent Study courses and total number of offerings and student completions (per quarter) for resident, non-resident, virtual, and webinar deliveries.
