International Center for Emergency Management Education

Vision
We believe the more competent we become at preparing for a disaster or crisis, delivering care during and after an emergency, the more resilient the agencies, their people, the facilities and by extension, the community becomes. Our Center will deliver the hands-on, experiential training and academics to facilitate improving these competencies in crisis and disaster preparation, response and mitigation.

What makes us unique?
FAU’s International Center for Emergency Management Education is a partner with a major international hospital, Chaim Sheba Medical Center in Israel.
