The <strong>Emergency</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Institute</strong>’s (EMI)<br />
Distance Learning Branch offers the Independent<br />
Study Program. This is a distance learning program<br />

volunteer emergency management community,<br />
and an opportunity to improve public awareness<br />
and promote disaster preparedness nationally. The<br />
ISP offers more than 100 training <strong>courses</strong> via the<br />
training site: http://training.fema.gov/.<br />
