The Emergency Management Standard
The Emergency Management Standard by EMAP is the set of 63 standards by which programs that apply for EMAP accreditation are evaluated. The Emergency Management Standard is designed as a tool for continuous improvement as part of the voluntary accreditation process for local and state emergency management programs.
The Emergency Management Standard covers:
- Program Management
- Administration and Finance
- Laws and Authorities
- Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Consequence Analysis
- Hazard Mitigation
- Prevention and Security
- Planning
- Incident Management
- Resource Management and Logistics
- Mutual Aid
- Communications and Warning
- Operations and Procedures
- Facilities
- Training
- Exercises, Evaluations and Corrective Action
- Crisis Communications, Public Education and Information
The Emergency Management Standard is now available online.
The Emergency Management Standard is reviewed and updated through the work of the EMAP Technical Committee, which makes recommendations to the EMAP Commission on an three-year review cycle.
