Global Emergency Management Institute (GEMI)

GEMI

Global Emergency Management Institute (GEMI) aims to improve and prepare tomorrow’s generation for the ever-increasing need of emergency management professionals on an international level. Furthermore, our goal is to offer applicants and survivors with necessary emergency preparedness information and resources to best prepare in the event of a natural disaster.

Get Started!

GEMI will offer specialized training resources that targets and focuses on emergency preparedness, planning, response, disaster recovery and hazard mitigation best practices.

Mitigation

Mitigation programs can be applied towards parts of the facilities that were damaged by the disaster as a mitigation measure to directly reduce the potential future of a similar disaster damage to the eligible facility. (Exceptions apply)

Preparedness

Disaster preparedness begins with us as a whole, community wide, as well as individually. Preparedness encompasses winter weather, flooding, earthquakes, hurricanes, landslides and debris flow, tsunamis, power outages, financial preparedness, youth preparedness, receiving national as well as local emergency alerts and notifications.

Response

Evacuation warning, search and rescue, providing immediate assistance, transport, provision of medical supplies, emergency protective measures, barricades, sheltering, removal of life-threatening debris, etc. Essentially meeting the basic needs of life and eliminating threat to it, until a more permanent and viable solution can be provided.

Recovery

Disaster Recovery aims to resume critical functions after a disaster as quickly as possible. It includes in most cases Individual Assistance and Public Assistance in order to restore the community to its pre-disaster condition, if it qualifies for a declaration after preliminary damage assessments have been concluded.
