The Emergency Management Academy

Emergency management and homeland security professionals face a lot of challenges in preparing their organizations to respond to and recover from disasters and crises. Having access to the tools, resources, and knowledge to advance their organization’s readiness through exercises shouldn’t be one of them.

This Academy section of the site is dedicated to providing professionals with the tools and guidance they need to lead their organization through an exercise successfully. When the process of planning and conducting a high-quality exercise is clear, professionals can turn their attention back to what really matters: how the exercise is preparing their teams and their organization for an uncertain future.
