Integrated Emergency Management Course

Overview
The development of resilience in Scotland is based on the principle of Integrated
Emergency Management (IEM). The aim of IEM is to develop flexible and adaptable
arrangements for dealing with emergencies, whether foreseen or unforeseen. It is
based on a multi-agency approach and the effective co-ordination of those agencies.
It involves Category 1 and Category 2 responders (as defined in the Act) and also the
voluntary sector, commerce and a wide range of communities. Resilience goes far
beyond organizations and communities alone, individual responsibility playing a
vital part in the establishment of a resilient nation.
