(1) Principles of Emergency Management:

Received yesterday from the graphics section here at EMI a mock-up of the Principles of Emergency Management one-page Statement of Principles which incorporates the logos from:

FEMA/DHS International Emergency Managers Association National Emergency Management Association National Fire Protection Association Emergency Management Accreditation Program

The Statement of EM Principles also includes the National Emergency Management logo sponsored by NEMA, IAEM, and FEMA/DHS.
