General CEM® Information

IAEM created the Certified Emergency Manager® Program to raise and maintain professional standards. It is an internationally recognized program that certifies achievements within the emergency management profession.

CEM® certification is a peer review process administered through the International Association of Emergency Managers. You do not have to be an IAEM member to be certified, although IAEM membership does offer you a number of benefits that can assist you through the certification process. Certification is maintained in five-year cycles.
The CEM® Program is served by a CEM® Commission that is composed of emergency management professionals, including representatives from allied fields, education, the military and private industry.

Development of the CEM® Program was supported by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA), and a host of allied organizations.
