Community-Specific Integrated Emergency
Management Courses (E/L930)
Community-specific IEMCs place emphasis on a
specific jurisdiction’s risks, response capability,
target capabilities, and short-term recovery issues.
They are tailored to fit the jurisdictions and are
based on a selected hazard scenario. Course methodologies
include classroom instruction, group
planning sessions, and exercises that allow for structured
decision making in a learning environment. A
key outcome of this IEMC is to provide participants
with the awareness and skills to carry out emergency
plans, policies, and procedures related to disaster
response and assist with making the transition from
response activities to short-term recovery.
Steps in the Community-specific IEMC
Application Process
• The chief elected official of the jurisdiction
submits a letter of request, addressing the belowspecified
information, to his/her respective State
office of emergency management.
• If the State office of emergency management
supports the request, it will attach its letter of
endorsement outlining how acceptance of this
request will meet State emergency management
objectives. Note: At this stage in the request, the
State may elect not to forward the request but,
instead, work with the community (especially if
the community is under 100,000 in population)
63
to conduct the G110, Emergency Management
Operations Course (EMOC) for Local Governments.
• If endorsed by the State Emergency Management
office, the application is forwarded to the
appropriate FEMA Regional Office for review. The
FEMA Regional Office includes its endorsement
for each jurisdiction’s application. If more than
one jurisdiction is submitted, the Region will
prioritize its recommendations.
• Applications must be received at EMI from the
FEMA Regional Office no later than January 15
each year. Between January 15 and February
15, EMI staff reviews the applications and ranks
them based on Regional priority and information
provided in the requests. Final selection is made
by March 1.
• By March 31, communities that have been
accepted will be notified, as well as communities
that are not accepted. Appropriate FEMA Regional
Offices and State emergency management offices
are also notified.
• Communities that are not selected and that want
to be reconsidered for the following year must
re-apply.
Communities must include the following
information in their application:
• Population of jurisdiction.
• A brief description of the government structure
(include organizational chart); clarify if the
request is for a single jurisdiction (e.g., one city)
or a combination of jurisdictions (e.g., a city and
county).
• A narrative that includes the status of emergency
management in the community, including past
disaster history.
• Emergency management training and exercise
history.
• Specific hazards facing the jurisdiction and/or
specific hazards requested to be addressed in the
IEMC.
