The Institute, located on the Idaho State University Boise Center Campus, was approved by the Idaho State Board of Education in July 2003. The purpose of the Institute is to offer workshops, courses, certificates, and degrees to meet the professional and career development needs of Idahoans employed in or planning a career in Emergency Management.
Our goal is to partner with currently established training programs in Idaho, such as Emergency Services Training (EST) or the Bureau of Homeland Security (BHS), not to duplicate existing training.
Through State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP) funds, all training and course materials sponsored by Idaho State University and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Office of Grants and Training (G&T) are provided FREE to qualified first responders.
The IDAHO Preparedness Learning Management System (LMS), is a joint project between the Health Preparedness Program of the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (DHW) and the Institute of Emergency Management (IEM) at Idaho State University. Additional partners now include the Idaho Bureau of Homeland Security (BHS) and the Idaho Bioterrorism Awareness and Preparedness Program (IBAPP) of the Institute of Rural Health at ISU. It's a one-stop shop for domestic preparedness and all-hazards disaster training. Click here to learn more.
