SUBJ: FY23 COAST GUARD SPONSORED NATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
BASIC ACADEMY (NEMBA) COHORT AND APPLICATION PROCESS
1. The Office of Emergency Management and Disaster Response
(CG-OEM) presents an exciting opportunity to attend the FEMA
Emergency Management Institute's (EMI) / National Emergency
Management Basic Academy (NEMBA). This ALCOAST provides program
information and application requirements.
2. NEMBA provides a foundational education in emergency management
and is part of the FEMA EMI's Emergency Management Professional
Program. The FEMA EMI curriculum is designed for newly appointed
emergency managers with less than three years of emergency
management experience and consists of the five courses listed
below. As the program generally draws emergency managers from all
sectors (federal, state, local, tribal, territorial,
non-governmental, and private), it also supports invaluable
inter-agency collaboration and networking. More information on
NEMBA can be found at:

NEMBA courses include:
a. E/L/K0101 - Foundations of Emergency Management
b. E/L/K0102 - Science of Disaster
c. E/L/K0103 - Planning: Emergency Operations
d. E/L/K0146 - Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation
Program (HSEEP)
e. E/L/K0105 - Public Information Basics
3. In Fiscal Year (FY) 19, CG-OEM hosted a pilot NEMBA in
partnership with the Virginia Department of Emergency Management.
The program successfully graduated 19 Coast Guard members,
despite schedule changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In FY22,
COMDT (CG-OEM) collaborated with the states of Washington and South
Carolina to host two cohorts with 41 Coast Guard members
completing the program. The FY23 NEMBA opportunities outlined in
this ALCOAST continue this highly successful program with one
cohort offered in partnership with the North Carolina Emergency
Management Division. This cohort has 20 openings for Coast Guard
personnel and 20 openings for local/state partners. Hosting EMI
NEMBA cohorts with state partners significantly increases Coast
Guard throughput for this highly desired training program, and
aligns closely with the 2022 Coast Guard Commandant's Intent and
Strategic Guidance to advance our mission excellence by building
on our ability to lead in crises.
