********************************************** WHY
BE A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL TRIBAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
COUNCIL....HERE ARE THREE OF THE BEST
REASONS! Welcome to the National Tribal Emergency Management Council (NTEMC). The NTEMC is a
long standing sub-committee of the Northwest Tribal Emergency Management Council bringing
Tribes and Tribal emergency management
organizations from around the Nation
together to share information and best practices and to discuss public safety,
public health and homeland security
issues affecting those in Indian Country. There are three main
areas that separate the National Tribal Emergency Management Council
from all other
EM/HLS groups out there: The NTEMC
remains committed to Sovereign Immunity, assisting our Tribal partners
with building infrastructure and internal capacity. There are many
groups out there that want to come into the Tribe and be the Incident
Commanders, the Incident Management Team, and the First Responders. We
want to continue to help our Tribal Nations remain in the driver’s seat
of the their own incidents, and the best way that we can assure this is
to continue our work in the areas of sharing information, training,
skill sets, resources and best practices. We believe that
Public Safety and Public Health are Trust Responsibilities of the
Federal Government, and therefore, do not charge dues or membership fees
to be a part of our organization. Although this makes sustainability
difficult at times, we do not believe that our Tribal Nations should
have to pay for what the Federal, State and Local Partners are receiving
in the way of grants and technical assistance. Therefore, we continue to
work hard on bringing grant dollars into the individual Tribal Nations,
training opportunities to our Tribal Lands, and Technical Assistance to
Indian Country that continues to help build our emergency management and
homeland security programs, free of charge. We are not a
response organization. We believe very strongly in our mission: To provide guidance
and tools for member tribes to develop sustainable and all-hazard
approaches to Emergency Management and Homeland Security, through an
approach that emphasizes both inter and intra jurisdictional cooperation
to maximize resources in mutual aid, training, exercises, planning, and
equipping by sharing information and best practices. Because we are a
very small non-profit, we have relied heavily on consortium grants,
specific contract work that is provided at severely discounted rates for
our member Tribes and the private sector. This year, the NTEMC has
partnered with Sourcewell (previously known as the
National Joint Powers Alliance®), a national municipal
contracting agency committed to serving our Members purchasing needs.
We
are both driven to provide efficient public service through contract
purchasing solutions and other related programs. We are only able to do
this as we work together, creating a unified purchasing alliance that is
valued by both Sourcewell and the NTEMC. We will now have access to
more than 260 companies that have been vetted through this partnership.

free.

Stayed tuned for so much more ahead as we bring in 2020 together!
********************************************* To better facilitate the mission of the National Tribal Emergency Management Council, the NTEMC is organized into 10 Regions, based
on the FEMA system of 10 Regions. Unfortunately Tribal lands do not fit neatly
into the FEMA regions map. Some tribal lands are located in 3 FEMA
regions! But for now, as we began this process, we hope this structure will work
best. Click on our Regions Tab at the top of the page to learn more. contact us: info@ntemc.org This site and Sub-committee is being developed by the NW Tribal Emergency
Management Council, a consortium of more than 150 Tribes and Tribal Villages in Idaho, Washington, Oregon and
Alaska that has been working dilligently on Emergency Management for the past
twleve years. Interested in joining the monthly calls of the NTEMC? The NTEMC believes strongly that public
safety is a trust responsibility and therefore there is no cost to join. For the
purposes of sharing information and having a point of contact, please submit a Resolution from
your Tribal Governing Body asserting the desire to join the NTEMC in Emergency
Management information sharing and best practices. Please see sample Resolution: Sample
