Need to Know About NEMA
For those in the security field who may want more insight into the National Emergency Managers Association (NEMA), we recommend Rich Cooper’s post on the Security Debrief blog, “The Comfortable Feeling at NEMA.”
NEMA brings emergency management professionals from government and the private sector together twice a year to share ideas and best practices on the field. It serves “as a source of information, support and expertise for emergency management professionals at all levels of government and the private sector who prepare for, mitigate, respond to, recover from and provide products and services for all emergencies, disasters and threats to the nation’s security.”
FEMA Director Craig Fugate was the keynote speaker at this week’s NEMA mid-year conference in Alexandria, VA.
Security and emergency management are related fields with overlapping interests.
