What’s PSEMA?
Private Sector Emergency Emergency Management is:
Our Vision
The Association envisions a completely integrated preparedness, risk reduction, and response reality between businesses, industry stakeholders, nongovernmental organizations, and public sector agencies across the United States.
Our Mission
The mission of the Association is to support the private sector before, during, and after times of major disruption or disaster by providing business resilience education, raising awareness of limitations impacting business, and rapidly identifying and marshaling available resources to bolster business continuity and community recovery.
Facilitating Cross-Sector Communication
The Association facilitates business-to-business conversations and coordination related to the homeland security and emergency management enterprises.
PSEMA coordinates cross-sector communication so that businesses can help businesses get back to work when a disaster strikes. PSEMA provides a conduit between the private sector and government agencies to prevent and lessen any negative effects when major emergencies and disasters occur.
The Private Sector Emergency Management Association (PSEMA) is incorporated in the State of Texas and is a 501(c)(6) organization as defined by the Internal Revenue Service.
