Each year various States, counties, cities, and communities throughout the United States express an interest in FEMA/EMI conducting an IEMC for their jurisdictions emergency management officials and responders. Community Specific IEMCs require a major commitment from both the community and FEMA, as well as from the FEMA regional office and State office of emergency management involved. Because the demand for community specific IEMCs exceeds EMI's resources, application criteria and a formal selection process have been established. Both the selection process and information that will be reviewed to determine acceptance of a request are outlined below. Questions regarding the community specific IEMCs can be directed to your State emergency management agency, your FEMA Regional Office, or directly to EMI in Emmitsburg, Maryland at Paul.Benyeda@dhs.gov.
