- Grant Description
- Thirty-nine states held gubernatorial elections in 2010 and the emergency management director is appointed by the governor in 32 states. The significant turnover in these positions could potentially impact state emergency management programs as well as Federal/state relations in that new relationships will need to be established between FEMA Headquarters, Regional Offices and the states. It is critical that NEMA and FEMA work collaboratively to conduct outreach and training for newly appointed state emergency management directors. Through NEMA, the nation's most experienced emergency managers serve as instructors and mentors to newly appointed state directors. Because its members are the state emergency management directors, NEMA has keen insight into current and emerging issues and has the ability to facilitate information-sharing between states, between levels of government, and between stakeholders to address those issues. Through this award, NEMA will provide training, professional development, and resources for newly appointed and current state directors. Education and training are offered in conjunction with NEMA national conferences, webinars, stand-alone workshops and joint FEMA/NEMA regional meetings.
