Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) Explained

Moving people and supplies to support a region or state impacted by a disaster is never an easy proposition.  It takes a coordinated system to accomplish the task.  Just such a system exists with the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC).

Check out my latest interview online at Emergency Management Magazine, Is There Potential for an International Emergency Management Assistance Compact?  This is an interview with Kim Ketterhagen who is Minnesota’s logistics and mutual aid coordinator, EMAC Executive Task Force past chair and EMAC coordinator in Minnesota.

I think the challenge in the future will be integrating all the technologies that are coming online to include social media.  The possibility of adding an international component to EMAC sounds exciting!
