My.EMCOM is operated by EMCOM. 
It was designed to be an interface point between the public and private sectors in relation to emergency management and response. A place to learn what is happening globally, but to act locally.

Natural disasters like the storms in the Southeast a few years ago, the hurricanes along the Gulf states and many more examples show us that we have to plan and depend upon local resources. We are the ones affected... we are the ones to die.

Terrorism is a threat, but natural disasters occur more frequenly and claim more lives... there is the threat of a pandemic... are we prepared? The last one killed almost 10% of the population, and 80% of the population was ill. If that happens, is your community ready? With so many sick, including health care workers, truck drivers, and everyone else, where will the gasoline supplies come from... who will bring food to the stores... who will care for the ill? The CDC has already said that there are not nearly enough (maybe only 25%) of the respirators that will be needed; a tiny fraction of hospital beds.  Are there contingency plans in your community? Hopefully there are. By interfacing on My.EMCOM with your local emergency personnel, you can find out; even possibly help. That's why we are here; to help facilitate communication between the public and private sectors... to learn about new ideas that might be applied in our own communities.

Join us. Give us your real thoughts and concerns. If you have expertise, teach it; if you want knowledge, seek it here. Don't just be a 'browser'; sign up for your own My.EMCOM site (it's free) and get involved with your community's emergency management and response efforts.

Thank You in advance for joining us in the My.EMCOM Community.
