GENERAL INFORMATION
Foreign Applicants
EmErgEncy managEmEnt InstItutE • 2011-2012 • catalog of coursEs
EMI often receives inquiries from citizens and officials
of foreign countries. EMI courses are generally
available to U.S. citizens only. Most EMI resident
courses expect attendees to have full knowledge of,
and experience with, U.S. governmental and political
systems and are based on U.S.-specific legislation,
regulations, and systems. Thus, most EMI courses are
not appropriate for foreign participants.
While EMI cannot generally accommodate international
participants in its resident courses, it
occasionally sends faculty to other nations to
deliver emergency management training on-site. All
expenses for such training must be paid by the host
nation. For more information, write to:

International participants are occasionally accepted
to attend EMI resident courses on a space-available,
fee-pay basis. To be considered for such an exception,
applications from foreign individuals must
meet the following conditions:
The application must be submitted at least 60 days
in advance of the course start date and must
come from and be endorsed by an appropriate
component of the national government of the
applicant’s home nation. Applications are generally
routed through the appropriate embassy.
The applicant must be a government employee
with official emergency management
responsibilities pertinent to the course which
he/she is requesting to attend. The official
endorsement must describe these responsibilities,
their relationship to the course requested, and
a compelling need to attend EMI to receive the
required training.
Because language translation is not provided on
campus, participants must be fluent in reading,
writing, and speaking English.

EMI Training at the Center
for Domestic Preparedness,
Anniston, Alabama
EMI also conducts training at FEMA’s Center for
Domestic Preparedness (CDP), located in Anniston,
Alabama. The CDP campus consists of four major
training sites: Main Training Facility (Building
61), Noble Training Facility (NTF), the Advanced
Responder Training (ART) Facility (500 area), and
the COBRA Training Facility (COBRATF).
Smoking
Smoking in Federal facilities is prohibited. Each
building has a designated outdoor smoking area.
Alcohol
The minimum age for consumption of alcoholic
beverages in Alabama is 21 years of age. There is no
exception to this law at the CDP. Consumption of
alcoholic beverages (beer and wine only, no liquor)
is limited to the Recovery Zone (student lounge)
and individual dormitory rooms. Personal quantities
of beer and wine only are allowed in individual
dormitory rooms. “Drinking” parties and open
containers of alcoholic beverages are prohibited
in any common or outdoor areas in the lodging
complex. The CDP reserves the right to either limit
or refuse the purchase of alcoholic beverages to
patrons of the Recovery Zone.
Weapons
All firearms are prohibited on the CDP campus.
