Please join your fellow emergency management professionals and students for a relaxing evening of friendship, food & fun at Big City Diner in Aiea (Pearlridge) from 6:00-8:00 pm on August 9th. Register here.
As emergency managers, we understand the importance of pre-disaster relationships on effective response and recovery. Through this social, we hope to strengthen these pre-disaster relationships and advance our organizational goals of providing networking & professional development opportunities for emergency managers across Hawaii.
Working on your CEM or AEM certification and have some questions about your application? Are you a CEM interested in mentoring someone through the application process? Don’t know what a “CEM” or “AEM” is, but would like to learn? Just want to have coffee with a great group of EM professionals?
Come join your fellow EM students and professionals to ask & answer questions about the CEM & AEM credentials. Several CEMs who have successfully navigated the application & testing process will be available to provide personalized attention to your application & questions.
This is a great networking and mentorship opportunity for CEMs & CEM/AEM hopefuls. See you there!

As part of FEMA’s renewed effort to build a national culture of preparedness, we’re updating the national response framework, which serves as a national guide for how we as a country respond to all types of disasters and emergencies. On this episode of the FEMA podcast, we dive into the details of the update and how it will emphasize stabilization of critical lifelines and coordination across the critical infrastructure sectors.
The Community Lifelines Implementation Toolkit provides whole community partners the information and resources to understand lifelines, coordinate with entities using lifelines, and serve as basic guidance for how to implement the lifeline construct during incident response. Below are a number of Community Lifeline resources. They can be used individually or printed into a binder as an all-inclusive resource.
