IAEM AWARDS competition
The purpose of the IAEM Awards Competition is to recognize and honor persons who have made special or significant contributions to the field of emergency management and have represented the profession well by their outstanding performance.
The IAEM-Global Awards Competition has changed to a multi-tiered awards competition for 2010, as approved by the IAEM-Global Board. Each of the IAEM Council Presidents or designee will issue a Call for Entries for Council Awards via their Council member e-mail list. The winners from each IAEM Council will be considered by the IAEM-Global Awards & Recognition Work Group for the 2010 Global Awards, to be presented this year at the international IAEM conference, Oct. 5-6, 2010, in Singapore.
Entrants cannot directly enter the IAEM-Global Awards Competition. Entrants will compete on the Council level first. Only Council Award winners in the categories listed below will be considered for IAEM-Global 2010 Awards. Each Council President or designee will issue a Call for Entries for Council Awards via member email list. Each Council may also offer additional Council-level Awards at its discretion.
- Business & Industry Preparedness Award (one winner) – based on excellence in implementing a program that plans for multiple hazards, sets implementation priorities, is cost effective, links all levels of the organization, and coordinates with local emergency response and management agencies. The program must be repeatable by similar organizations in business and industry.
