About the Inclusive EM Community

This Community brings together emergency management professionals and community stakeholders who are currently working in or interested in inclusive emergency management. The Community provides a space for us to access diverse connections, knowledge, experiences, and ideas that help us expand the inclusive emergency management movement and work smarter, more efficiently, and with less friction in our own roles. 

Within this Community, we will:

  1. collaborate as a community on challenges that don't have an easy or obvious answer;

  2. translate what we need to do (be accessible, equitable, and equally effective) into how we actually do that;

  3. increase the prevalence of inclusive emergency management practices; and 

  4. work together on this larger purpose while finding ways to improve and expand our own work in inclusive emergence management in our own, unique spheres.

Our Community is diverse and inclusive because diversity brings insight and perspective that can fill gaps in our knowledge.

Within this Community we can connect, engage, collaborate, and learn from a world of subject matter experts to achieve more in our own work and to expand the inclusive emergency management movement. 

This community provides access to a variety of experts who are passionate about inclusive EM and are are ready to share their knowledge, experiences, and ideas with you. 

If you are an emergency management professional or community stakeholder, we'd love you to join us!
