Application Guide, March 2023
1. This ALCOAST announces the April 2024 Coast Guard Emergency
Management Credential (CGEMC) Board results, which convened 22-25
April 2024 in accordance with REF (A).
2. The CGEMC Board was established in 2021 to recommend Coast Guard
personnel who have demonstrated the highest levels of expertise and
proficiency in the field of Emergency Management (EM) for a
credential. This credential is a cornerstone effort designed to
advance crisis leadership skills within the Coast Guard by
promoting the principles of EM. As outlined in REF (A), the CGEMC
is available to any active duty (officer or enlisted), civilian,
reserve (officer or enlisted), auxiliary member and DHS personnel
who meet the training, experience, and test criteria, regardless of
specialty or assigned duty station/position. The CGEMC Board
process was modeled after the ICS Competency Review process.
3. The CGEMC Board reviewed 14 applications and recommended 11 be
assigned the CGEMC. Of the 14 applicants, 6 applicants held the
Certified Emergency Manager (CEM) designation or other comparable
agency EM credential.
