In the face of an emergency, community resilience relies heavily on planning, preparation, and knowledge. The Mid-Atlantic Center for Emergency Management (MACEM) at Frederick Community College provides essential knowledge to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters and emerging threats in today’s world.
In support of the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA goals, the FEMA Emergency Management Institute (EMI) offers self-paced online Independent Study (IS) courses free of charge to individuals with emergency management responsibilities.
As a proud FEMA partner, MACEM awards college credit to individuals upon successful completion of FEMA IS courses meeting college rigor. Course credits may be applied toward an academic credential including an Emergency Management degree, Certificate, and or Letter of Recognition and often satisfy professional development requirements set by various employers, departments, and agencies.
