THE IAEM BULLETIN
The IAEM Bulletin, the official newsletter of the International Association of Emergency Managers, is published monthly by IAEM to keep members abreast of association news, government actions affecting emergency management, and research and information sources. The publication is also intended to serve as a way for emergency management colleagues to exchange information on programs and ideas. The print edition is 16-24 pages, plus there is an extended online edition of up to 40 pages.
Readership
The Bulletin is distributed to 5,000+ emergency management officials each month, representing all levels of government, industrial, commercial, educational, military, private, non-profit and volunteer organizations. The newsletter is also sent to allied organizations and legislative representatives with a role in emergency management issues.

The “EM Practitioner Articles” collection is posted online in the Members Only area to collect and preserve information of value to IAEM members – professionals who are in the field of emergency management, are interested in protecting lives and property through an all-hazards approach, are concerned with national security, and have an emergency management/civil defense assignment in government, the military, industry, or a non-governmental organization.
- This collection of articles, available to IAEM members, was developed and is maintained by the IAEM-Global Editorial Sub-Work Group. Volunteers from the work group make up the EM Practitioner Article Review Team.
- Please Note: Article submissions are not subjected to editing or a comprehensive review, so posting of an article does not qualify as a “Publication” for purposes of the CEM® application package.
