Emergency Management Named Magazine of the Year (Column)

We thank you for your interest and support.

There are a couple of ways in which I measure the success of Emergency Management magazine. The first is how you, the reader, responds to our stories. On that count, we’re doing well.

Overwhelmingly, through our surveys, you indicate that Emergency Management is the publication of choice when it comes to the planning, response, mitigation and recovery related to natural and man-made disasters.

Reader response, in the form of letters to the editor and comments on our website, indicate an engaged, passionate audience. It keeps us on our toes and striving to meet your needs and provide interesting, educational copy in a professional manner.

We are grateful for you, the reader, for your input and comments, and we invite more of the same. You understand that we won’t shy away from a difficult topic, even in the face of criticism or advertiser backlash. And you’ve told us that you appreciate that.

Our peers at the American Society of Business Publication Editors too have recognized our staff’s passion for doing things the right way, and did so in a big way this year by naming us Magazine of the Year. The result is gratifying and confirms that we are on the right track. But that in no way means we will rest on our laurels. We will continue to strive for excellence, and with your continued support and engagement will continue our quest to serve the emergency management community as best we can.

We thank you for your interest and support.

Jim McKay is the editor of Emergency Management magazine.
