These opportunities advance the emergency management and homeland security profession within the African-Descent Communities. BEMA-I assists and ensures diversity and community involvement in all phases of emergency to include training, preparedness, etc., with emphasis on the long-term recovery of communities. BEMA-I has given more disaster management attention through robust advocacy through the African embassies in Washington, D.C. A key impact of BEMA-I's work was felt during the 2014 Ebola crisis and the August 14, 2017 mudslide which occurred in Sierra Leone."
