Emmitsburg, MD — You
are subscribed to EMI News for FEMA. The following information has recently
been updated, and is now available on http://training.fema.gov/EMI/
Course Description:
The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) recognizes the need to tie training programs to an
established set of emergency management competencies and to a career
development program through a progressive training and education system that
includes the Basic Academy. The Emergency Management Institute (EMI) is
offering the opportunity to students who are experienced in emergency
management and adult training to take a step toward becoming qualified as an
instructor for the Basic Academy courses.
The first day of the
Train-the-Trainer is devoted to course delivery strategy, logistics,
demonstrations, and adult learning methods. The last four days will consist
of student teach-backs that summarize a portion of the Basic Academy course
subject matter, and describe activities and exercises plus time for critique
and questions. These assignments are made in advance of the first day of
class.
All topics covered in the
course are covered from an instructor’s perspective in the Train-the-Trainer
including at a minimum: history, legal issues, intergovernmental and
interagency context, influencing, organizing, social vulnerability issues,
managing stress, collaboration, planning, exercises, public information and
warning, preparedness, team building, protection and prevention, mitigation,
response, ethical decision-making, recovery, technology, administration, and
the future of emergency management.
Emergency Management
Institute Mission
To support the Department of
Homeland Security and FEMA’s goals by improving the competencies of the U.S.
officials in Emergency Management at all levels of government to prepare for,

Webinar: The challenges of localised aid in conflict. 11/29/2016
The challenges of localised aid in
conflict
Organisation:
Location:
Date: 29 November 2016
Time: 15:00 – 16:30 GMT
The idea that local actors should be at the forefront of humanitarian response in their own country is increasingly widely accepted.
One message, which resounded loud and clear at the first World Humanitarian Summit, was the need for greater localisation of aid.
However, the current localisation agenda gives little consideration to the different humanitarian contexts and their different operational challenges. Can local actors deliver impartial emergency assistance on a meaningful scale in armed conflicts, if they find themselves caught up in the political and military game of the warring parties?
Our expert panel of observers and practitioners from international and local organisations discuss and debate the nuances of the situation on the ground.
Informed by new research from Médecins Sans Frontières which highlights operational challenges to locally led responses in conflict and highly politicised environments, this discussion asks:

- What are the practical implications of locally-led responses in acute conflicts?
- What are the key issues to overcome?
- How can we ensure that locally-led responses conform with key humanitarian principles?
