The West Africa Ebola crisis, the deadly April 2015 earthquake in Nepal, and ongoing crises in Syria, Central African Republic, and beyond have exposed weaknesses of global humanitarian emergency response efforts. Complex humanitarian emergencies require a constellation of actors from different sectors working collaboratively to save lives and provide critical services. A new report by the Disaster Resilience Group, A Networked Approach to Strengthening Emergency Response Capacity, draws lessons from international and local networks and offers recommendations for building capacity among first- and second-line responders and strengthening networks for emergency response. Panelists will present the report's findings and discuss how they might be implemented to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of emergency response.

been updated, and is now available on http://training.fema.gov/EMI/
Course Description:
Each year, state, local, tribal,
territorial and specialized jurisdictions throughout the United States can
apply to EMI to conduct a community-specific IEMC.
IEMCs are exercise-based training
courses that place jurisdictions’ emergency operations center (EOC) personnel
in realistic crisis situations within a structured learning environment. The
jurisdiction selects the hazard(s) and the Core Capabilities it wishes to
include in both the plenary and exercise components of the course to reflect
the hazards or events facing the jurisdiction, the type of EOC used by the jurisdiction,
and the organizations included in the jurisdictional emergency plans. Data
reported in the applicable State Preparedness Report and the Threat and Hazard
Identification and Risk Assessment should be used as a basis for the request.
