IAEM Membership

IAEM brings together emergency managers and disaster response professionals from all levels of government, as well as the military, the private sector and volunteer organizations in the U.S. and around the world. There are currently more than 4,300 IAEM members.

The membership belongs to the member jurisdiction or entity paying the dues. If the individual representing that jurisdiction or entity leaves, the membership may be transferred to another individual who manages the emergency management program. However, the individual representative may maintain the membership only if the paying jurisdicition provides written approval transferring the membership to the individual.
