To provide an overview of the National Emergency Management Advanced Academy (NEMAA) program and the Federal Fiscal Year (FY) 24 application process for FEMA RIV (State Host: Alabama).
The vision of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) National Disaster & Emergency Management University (NDEMU) is to strengthen the field of emergency management by establishing an Emergency Management Professional Program (EMPP).
NDEMU will strengthen the capabilities of emergency management professionals and the broader community by offering targeted training programs, certificate, and practical applications designed to enhance disaster resilience and response.
The APS program, which utilizes EMI developed courses, will continue to do so, and EMI will continue to maintain the courses; however, the responsibility for issuing the APS certificates will be turned over to the state emergency management agencies.
The Emergency Management Institute (EMI) will continue to exist within NDEMU to provide foundational training and development for early career emergency managers

It provides targeted training on emergency management fundamentals and deep dives into disaster risk reduction and extreme weather impacts, bridging the profession with the wider community.
The National Emergency Management Advanced Academy (NEMAA) reinforces the qualities needed to lead emergency management programs, provides relevant management theories and concepts, and utilizes real-world complex incident scenarios.
EMI works in collaboration with the whole community to provide training in support of the NIMS Training Program. The Preparedness Branch coordinates EMI’s NIMS training efforts with the National Integration Center (NIC) to integrate NIMS doctrine and training with whole community needs.
The National Emergency Management Executive Academy provides an ideal setting for a diverse representation of senior emergency management leaders to come together in a collaborative learning environment to explore contemporary and emerging 21st century challenges.
