Trainings are designed to help FEMA regional partners and state, local, tribal, and territorial governments create effective hazard mitigation plans that meet FEMA’s requirements and reduce risk in their communities.
FEMA provides both classroom and online independent study courses for staff, as well as state, local, territorial, and tribal government employees through the Emergency Management Institute or through their State Hazard Mitigation Officer.
Additionally, several advanced trainings and technical assistance related to pertinent areas in hazard mitigation assistance are available. These range from webinar recordings to on-demand workshops.
The Emergency Management Institute (EMI) serves as the national focal point for the development and delivery of emergency management training to enhance the capabilities of federal, state, local, tribal and territorial government officials, volunteer organizations and the public and private sectors to minimize the impact of disasters.

IMRD is the central coordination body for Resilience post-disaster work. This body is charged with the management and oversight of the agency's third largest workforce, the Hazard Mitigation Cadre. It is mainly in charge of advancing the HMA Cadre Training curriculum.
If you're interested in attending or hosting field offerings for these trainings, or have other technical assistance needs, please contact the Hazard Mitigation Training team or the appropriate FEMA regional office.
