Emergency Management Certification and Training Program

The NYS Emergency Management Certification and Training (EMC&T) Program supports the State’s strategy of creating unified emergency management training for County Chief Executives and other emergency management stakeholders. The NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) has worked with the local emergency management community to develop a standardized curriculum for three theirs of training aimed at County Chief Executives (Tier 1), County Emergency Managers (Tier 2), and other local public officials within Counties (Tier 3). County Chief Executives and County Emergency Managers must complete the training (to include annual refresher training) for DHSES grant eligibility purposes. The training covers all facets of emergency management, including disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. It also outlines the legal authorities and responsibilities related to emergency management in NYS. DHSES is partnering with NYSAC to deliver this training.

To attend the Emergency Management Training, you must pre-register by February 10, 2025. If you missed the deadline, please register at Town Hall as a Walk-In Registrant on Feb. 26th at 10am in Town Hall at the Crowne/Desmond Hotel.
