In August 2025, the United States officially designated National Emergency Management Awareness Month—a nationwide call to action recognizing the critical role of preparedness, response, and recovery across all sectors. This annual observance shines a spotlight on the professionals who keep our communities safe before, during, and after disasters—from first responders and emergency managers to the business leaders, industry experts, and nonprofit partners that form the backbone of public-private coordination.
PSEMA is proud to represent a diverse membership of private sector leaders and nonprofit organizations working on the front lines of emergency management. During this month, we honor their contributions, share proven practices, and reaffirm our commitment to building a more resilient nation—together.
