Continuing Education Credits

The Natural Hazards is pleased to offer preapproved education credits for Certified Floodplain Managers (CFM) and Certified or Associate Emergency Managers (CEM/AEM).

Certified Floodplain Manager Education Credits

Workshop attendance will count as 12 pre-approved continuing education credits under the Association of State Floodplain Managers Certified Floodplain Manager Program. Time logged on our virtual platform will be verified for each participant after a request for continuing education has been made (see instructions below) and we will award credits base on criteria required by ASFPM.

Certified or Associate Emergency Manager Contact Hours

Full Workshop attendance will count as 19 contact hours toward the Certified or Associate Emergency Manager contact hours under the International Association of Emergency Managers Certification Program, otherwise particpants will receive a maximum of 6 hours per full day. Time logged on our virtual platform will be verified for each participant after a request for continuing education has been made (see instructions below) and we will award credits base on criteria required by IAEM.

Continuing education can be used for certification renewal by these organizations. Those aspiring to attain their AEM or CEM status can also use the contact hours to count towards their initial qualification.
