PEM Program Manual

About PEM

The Michigan Professional Emergency Manager (PEM) Program provides the knowledge and skills for emergency managers in the state of Michigan to effectively prevent, prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of disasters or emergencies in their communities. Since the early 1990s, hundreds of emergency management professionals from many whole community partners have completed this PEM Program to help ensure the safety of their communities. The Michigan State Police, Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division (MSP/EMHSD) is proud to continue the high level of excellence this designation is known for through a diverse, challenging program.

This manual provides aspiring and current PEM designees with information needed to successfully complete and maintain the designation. It is intended to be a guide through all the steps of the program and outlines the annual renewal requirements. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the MSP/EMHSD State Training Officer via email or at 517-897-6120.
