Emergency Management Accreditation Program

The Emergency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP) is a voluntary certification that evaluates how well an organization, such as a local or state emergency management agency, prepares for, responds to, and recovers from disasters. It ensures these agencies follow best practices, maintain effective plans, and are ready to protect communities during emergencies. Achieving EMAP accreditation demonstrates a commitment to high standards, continuous improvement, and accountability in managing risks like natural disasters, accidents, or public health crises.
