Integrated Emergency
Management Curriculum
This exercise-based curriculum addresses
emergency response activities for the total community—from
the chief elected official to professional
staff, both paid and volunteer, within the emergency
response organizations. This set of courses is called
the Integrated Emergency Management Courses
(IEMCs). The IEMC stresses the integration of functions,
resources, organizations, and individuals in
all phases of emergency management. These courses
are offered in several versions and may be offered
either for officials from many communities (open
enrollment or “generic” courses) or for a specific
community. Current IEMCs include: IEMC: All Hazards
Preparedness and Response; IEMC: All Hazards Recovery and
Mitigation; IEMC: Hurricane Preparedness and Response; IEMC:
Earthquake Preparedness and Response; IEMC: Homeland Security;
IEMC: Hazardous Materials Preparedness and Response; and
IEMC: Emergency Operations Center–Incident Management Team
Interface.
Each course includes orientation presentations to
specific response functions as well as simulated
emergency situations that participants must demonstrate
proficiency in a high-stress environment.
Learning objectives are based on critical tasks in the
Target Capabilities List.
