International Association of Emergency Managers

How do you explain a profession that's different every day? We asked emergency managers this question, and they shared their perspectives.

There is no single definition to capture every role or responsibility within the emergency management profession, but together they tell the bigger story of the people who plan, coordinate, solve problems, and bring others together when it matters most.

How would you answer this question? Share your own explanation in the comments, and if one of these responses resonates with you, share this post to help others better understand emergency management.

A look back at last week's IAEM-USA Region 7 Conference in Omaha, Nebraska!

Attendees spent two days discussing resilience across the Plains, sharing field experiences, and connecting with colleagues from across the region. Here are a few moments from the conference.

Emergency managers know these phases by heart, but for many others, this may be the first time they've seen them explained.

One of the goals of National Emergency Management Awareness Month is to help more people understand what emergency management really is. This resource breaks down these stages in simple terms.
