Editorial Profile
The IAEM Bulletin, the official monthly newsletter of the International Association of Emergency Managers, publishes articles from the emergency management community, which interest and impact the profession. The IAEM Bulletin offers a forum for insights and perspectives on emergency management and reports on emergency management in practice. It also serves as the voice of IAEM and a source of information on association activities.

The IAEM Bulletin is distributed monthly to more than 4,000 IAEM members, plus others with government and legislative roles in emergency management. It gets frequent distribution at national, regional and state emergency management conferences.
