Exploring The Center for Emergency Management Intelligence Research: A Visual Story

Pracademic Research, Links, and Reports

 

Please Note: the CEMIR is fairly new, and our website is still being built/curated. Thank you for your consideration.

We are have been around since 2022. And it can be daunting to be an independent research organization. It would really help if we were connected to an institution of higher learning. If this is something your college/university is interested in pursuing, please contact or e-mail us. 

Thank you.

 

EMINT is also a Practitioner Tool

Think of EMINT as a "super" category of Intelligence, above law-enforcement Intelligence and Investigation. Sources from many divergent entities and agencies needs to be curated (analyzed and distributed appropriately) centrally and within the construct of the Incident Command System for response and recovery missions. EMINT is full-cycle work, active in Preparedness/Protection/Prevention, Response, Recovery, and Mitigation. Check out our Tactical page for more tools to utilize in response and recovery (and get them now, while you are still in preparedness/protection/prevention!



Disaster Readiness = Resiliency Against Adverse Impacts before, during, and after disasters

Pracademic Research / Reports

Emergency Support Functions (ESF)

We are also collecting and curating existing practitioner and academic (pracademic) work related to Emergency Management Intelligence. Here are some categories, organized by the U.S. Federal Emergency Support and Recovery Support Functions (ESFs and RSFs) from the National Response Framework and the National Disaster Recovery Framework. We are working on getting volunteer "curators" for each section, and we are grateful for their support. If you would like to help collect EMINT, let us know.
