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.
IEMCs immerse participants in the practical
application of functions associated with Emergency
Operations Center (EOC) management. Each course
includes orientation presentations to specific response
functions as well as simulated emergency situations
that participants must demonstrate proficiency in a
high-stress EOC environment. Learning objectives are
based on critical tasks in the Target Capabilities List.

Once accepted into a course, participants will
receive an acceptance letter with further instructions
regarding transportation and other matters. Arriving
at NETC for a class without formal acceptance
from the NETC Admissions Office will result in the
participant being sent home.
In an effort to fill EMI courses, vacancies will be
updated frequently and posted on the EMI web
site (training.fema.gov/emicourses) and interested
personnel may apply. EMI will fill vacancies
on a first-come, first-served basis. (NOTE: For
IEMC vacancies by position, consult the IEMC web site at
training.fema.gov/EMIcourses).
All applications must be submitted through the
appropriate State Emergency Management Agency
to the NETC Admissions Office with the required
signatures of endorsement.
