One of the aims of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is to encourage the spread of emergency management-related education among colleges and universities across the USA. To further this goal, FEMA's Emergency Management Institute (EMI) has created an annotated list of colleges, universities, and institutions offering emergency management courses at various levels from certificate to graduate degree programs. Additionally, EMI has developed its own outline of a potential emergency management curriculum, is working with a variety of institutions to develop these courses, and has recently issued a third course in this series The Political and Policy Basis of Emergency Management (see the Natural Hazards Observer, Vol. XXIII No. 2, p. 22). The institute is also maintaining a working draft of an emergency management bibliography for anyone developing hazards or emergency-management-related courses. All of this information, the courses developed so far, and the related materials are available at the URL above.
