MACEM&PS showcases Emergency Management Partnerships at Statewide Forum 🚨🤝

We participated as an exhibitor at the Maryland Department of Emergency Management- MDEM 2026 Whole Community Integration Forum at MDEM Headquarters.

Instructional Specialist Alan Lyons and Special Projects Manager Stephen Stuart Carter connected with attendees to share MACEM&PS capabilities, including contracting support, grant initiatives, and academic pathways within the Legal and Public Safety Career Community. They also engaged with partners across the state, including Christina Ferguson, head of MDEM’s Nonprofit Engagement Program and a leader within the Whole Community Initiatives Branch.

This year’s forum, “Partnering for the New Normal: A State-Led Disaster Forum,” brought together public, private, nonprofit, and community partners to strengthen coordination for disaster response and recovery, identify emerging needs, and align resources across Maryland.

MACEM&PS at Frederick Community College is proud to support MDEM and Maryland’s emergency management community 🤝

This week, our incredible interns and work-study students got a big, warm send-off with Jason Deater (Legal and Public Safety Career Community Assistant Dean & MACEM&PS Director) cheering them on with a heartfelt "Farewell and Best Wishes!" 👋💙

The Frederick Community College Legal and Public Safety Career Community (LPSCC) and the Mid-Atlantic Center for Emergency Management & Public Safety (MACEM&PS) are SO proud of our four Frederick County Public Schools FCPS Maryland Interns and our Work Study Student! 🙌
