About Our Organization…

Our vision is to be the worldwide leader in educating the emergency response and management community, recognized for our safety, quality, and client focus.

The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may

come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin.

When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his

person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved.

Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)
