Here are some "FAQs" - Frequently Asked Questions about EMINT and the CEMIR.

FAQs

WHY EMINT?

Why Emergency Managers Need Emergency Management Intelligence - all the time.

The U.S. has limited application for Emergency Management Intelligence now

#1

And it tends to be

  • Law Enforcement-centric only, aligned specifically to Intelligence and Investigations
  • Limited to Response and Recovery - not full cycle
  • Focused on Terrorism and Human-driven threats only

Check out Appendix B of FEMA's 2023 Response and Recovery Interagency Operational Plan

WhAT IS WITH YOUR Logo? WAIT, Is that an Owl?

Yes: we thought the eagle was overdone (and seems to represent more Operations or Command). And our logo is pretty rough-draft, too.

Owls are a symbol of wisdom - akin to Intelligence. This Great Grey Owl has great vision.

The Owl

Owls have been a symbol of wisdom - akin to Intelligence. This Great Grey Owl is a hunter-seeker and also has great vision. 

The Color Purple

We choose purple as a thematic color for Intelligence, since it was not used in the current color-coding for ICS (take a look online via a search engine at the ICS vests available now - you will see white, black, blue, yellow and red). So purple was available. We call it.


btw - the Mars candy company in late 2022, announced their first new color of M&M's in more than 10 years: Purple. Coincidence?

The Motto

 "Vigilia Pretium Libertatis" - Vigilance is the price of freedom. Vigilance seems a good single word to describe why we need EMINT. This is the motto of NATO's SHAPE - https://shape.nato.int/page13417157


We hope they don't mind us borrowing their motto. 

Why Five Stars?

There are five gold stars in the center to represent the five areas EMINT is important to: Command, Finance/Admin, Logistics, Operations, and Planning. EMINT should be shared/distributed to all branches and sections as needed - and treated equally and independently by command as any other branch/section.

Sapietia

Wisdom

We like the Latin word "Sapietia" to symbolize wisdom, like the owl.

Parliament

group of owls

Did you know a group of owls is called a "parliament"?  We didn't, until we looked it up online. Interesting how different groupings of living things have different names in the English language. Could be worse: if we picked crows, then it would be a "murder". Click here for an alternate opinion on terms used for venery, from Audubon magazine.  Photo by Taleon Pinheiro on Unsplash.
