EM Principles 1.Comprehensive – emergency managers consider and take into account all hazards, all phases, all stakeholders and all impacts relevant to disasters. 2.Progressive – emergency managers anticipate future disasters and take preventive and preparatory measures to build disaster-resistant and disaster-resilient communities. 3.Risk-driven – emergency managers use sound risk management principles (hazard identification, risk analysis, and impact analysis) in assigning priorities and resources. 4.Integrated – emergency managers ensure unity of effort among all levels of government and all elements of a community. 5.Collaborative – emergency managers create and sustain broad and sincere relationships among individuals and organizations to encourage trust, advocate a team atmosphere, build consensus, and facilitate communication. 6.Coordinated – emergency managers synchronize the activities of all relevant stakeholders to achieve a common purpose. 7.Flexible – emergency managers use creative and innovative approaches in solving disaster challenges. 8.Professional – emergency managers value a science and knowledge-based approach based on education, training, experience, ethical practice, public stewardship and continuous improvement.
