The purpose of the FEMA Region VI Higher Education Collaborative is to establish a regional community of educators, engaged in an ongoing dialogue to share information and foster collaboration among colleges, universities, and Centers of Excellence in Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Ultimately, these efforts will serve to increase resiliency and enhance disaster preparation and response efforts by emergency management and homeland security agencies, practitioners, and other affected stakeholders.
Forging the Change: Connecting Academia and Emergency Management through the lens of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
The Region 6 Higher Education Collaborative Summit brought together educators, researchers, emergency managers and students, to share information, network and foster collaboration. The Summit connected educators, practitioners, and researchers in the spirit of community that promotes a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive field of emergency management.
