Our people come from government agencies, local councils, municipal organisations, research organisations, business and industry, not-for-profits and media entities around the world.  

We come together to share experiences, knowledge, and a passion for ensuring our communities are safe and can respond to and recover from what nature and human-made disasters throw at them.

We hold events, knowledge-sharing and friendship activities across the year online and face-to-face in Australia, New Zealand and North America.

Everything we do is guided by the EMPA Principles, our moral and practical guide to working with communities in emergency management.
