Available to:

About
The Emergency Management Accreditation New Jersey (EMANJ) program has been established as a voluntary program that will provide emergency management offices in New Jersey with a mechanism to evaluate and enhance the overall proficiency of their agency. Accreditation is a formal recognition that an office’s policies and practices meet or exceed standards in all primary aspects of emergency management, to include preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation. It is expected that emergency management offices seeking accreditation will have an inclusive approach to emergency management, making efforts to engage “Whole Community” stakeholders, including government and non-government partners, and by considering the needs of those that may require specific considerations (e.g., the disabled, the elderly, etc.) during an emergency or disaster.

Governance Structure
An Accreditation Council has been established as the formal oversight and governing body for the Program, to include making the final determination on whether an Emergency Management Office (EMO) has met the accreditation standards. The Accreditation Council is chaired by the Emergency Manager Project (EMP) Director. The Council includes a total of four members, three of which are appointed by the EMP Director. Efforts are made to ensure the Council accurately reflects the emergency management community in New Jersey, to include a cross-section of emergency management professionals from across the State, including urban and rural, as well as large and small jurisdictions and private sector agencies. Each of the appointed members will serve a five year term.
As the governing body for the Program, the Accreditation Council is responsible for final approval of the accreditation process, ensuring the associated standards are both current and relevant, and that the program remains viable.
