August 21st - Intelligence
Day 21 of our advocating for the "August is National Emergency Management Awareness Month" campaign covers how Emergency Managers need Intelligence.
As part of the “August is National Emergency Management Awareness Month” campaign, originated by the IAEM-USA, to raise awareness of the field of professional Emergency Management (as well as better describe what Emergency Managers do, don’t do, etc.), we bring you our take on 31 Days of Emergency Management Awareness.” Today’s posts - for Day 20 - is on the need for actionable Emergency Management Intelligence: before, during, and after incidents of scale.
These posts are designed for the general public, folks beginning their education and/or careers in Emergency Management, local politicians, community leaders, etc. We figure there are a ton of questions about what Emergency Management is all about, and since we have a open mic and platform to help explain all of it, here goes.
The Center for Emergency Management Intelligence Research (https://cemir.org/) promotes the concept of adjusting the U.S. Incident Management System - as well as establishing steady-state roles - in support of Emergency Management Intelligence (EMINT). Learn more at
