This study captures foundational data about how emergency management organizations nationwide are structured and staffed, their funding sources, and how staff time is allocated.
This pioneering study is a collaborative effort among the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM), the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA), Big City Emergency Managers (BCEM), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and Argonne National Laboratory. This report represents the voices of over 1,700 emergency managers from state, local, and territorial emergency management agencies, with a response rate of nearly 24% among local jurisdictions, 73% among states, and 75% among territories. At the time this version was released, tribal emergency managers were still being polled. This report will be updated to include the tribal data.
We sincerely thank everyone who has contributed to this study. We recognize the great value it provides to all emergency management agencies across the country, as well as to everyone working to support the emergency management community, as we strive to make our communities safer.
