- What it does
- To defray travel and per diem expenses of State, local, tribal, and Territorial emergency management personnel who attend training courses conducted by the Emergency Management Institute (EMI), at the Emmitsburg, Maryland facility; the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) in Anniston, Alabama; and selected off-site locations. Its purpose is to improve emergency management practices among State, local, tribal, and Territorial government managers, in response to emergencies and disasters. Programs embody the Comprehensive Emergency Management System by unifying the elements of management common to all emergencies: planning, preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery. EMI training is conducted in an effort to strengthen the security and resilience of the United States through systematic preparation for the threats that pose the greatest risk to the security of the Nation, including acts of terrorism, cyber-attacks, pandemics, and catastrophic natural disasters. This program supports the national training program as mentioned in the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, and the national preparedness system. This program also supports FEMA’s strategic plan goal 3 to promote and sustain a ready FEMA and prepared nation. Performance measures are based on total cost per student day of training for EMI resident, off-site and Independent Study courses and total number of offerings and student completions (per quarter) for resident, non-resident, virtual, and webinar deliveries.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
