In recent years, a number of emergencies and disasters have impacted institutions of higher educations, revealing the need for advanced emergency preparedness. With campuses in three different communities, it is especially important that NSU has trained Emergency Operations Center personnel and Incident Management Teams able to function in the positions for which they hold.

In compliance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS), personnel with roles in emergency preparedness are required to complete training from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Many of these courses can be accessed online and completed in less than an hour.
