IAEM releases official statement because of petition

TLDR: “What IAEM is not is the judge and jury of the emergency management community, nor should it aim to be. We do not exist to referee the profession or elevate one viewpoint over another. What we do stand for—unequivocally—is that emergency management exists to safeguard lives and property, protect communities, and foster resilience through thoughtful, evidence-based strategies.“

This statement has ensured that I will not be renewing my certification and membership this year. There are some principles that must be adhered to in EM, even in times that are hostile to supporting everyone with compassion and empathy.
