Community Specific Integrated Emergency Management Course (IEMC)
The Integrated Emergency Management Course (IEMC) is a week long exercise based training designed to take an entire team of professionals from a city or county to the National Emergency Training Center in Emmitsburg, MD for resident training to accomplish community emergency management objectives. IEMC places public officials and emergency personnel in a realistic crisis situation within a structured learning environment, as the course progresses scenario-related events of increasing complexity, threat, and pressure occur. Participants develop emergency policies, plans, and procedures to ensure an effective response. The course culminates in an emergency exercise designed to test participant knowledge, awareness, flexibility, leadership, and interpersonal skills under extreme pressure.
