This newsletter is a compilation of recent disaster ~things~ that I think are cool, important, or otherwise of interest to people who are intrigued with disaster (broadly defined). There’s a little something for everyone! FEMA University TL;DR FEMA has come up with the tremendously terrible idea of turning the Emergency Management Institute (EMI) into a university.
I received my master’s in emergency management and homeland security from Arizona State University in 2021 and have not been able to find a job in the field. I have close to 100 of the FEMA independent study course certificates completed. This is a field I love and am extremely passionate about, but am losing hope of ever working in it. I’ve done the LinkedIn networking to no avail. If a FEMA ‘university’ would guarantee me a job in the field I love, as much as I am over school, I would do it. I am willing to do whatever it takes to get my feet into this field.
