NOTICE: Effective April 16, 2026, FEMA has restored access to its Independent Study.

These courses are typically inaccessible during a lapse in appropriations, but FEMA is facing unprecedented circumstances. Users may now register for and complete these self-guided courses. However, FEMA's staffing and operations are still impacted by the lapse in appropriations. If users experience technical problems, FEMA staff are unable to provide assistance at this time.

EMI "Less Paper" Course Materials Downloads

EMI goes green with downloads for E and L course materials:

The EMI will no longer provide printed copies of student manuals, handouts, and supplemental materials for in person E and L courses. Instead, these course materials will be available to download for a period of 4 weeks prior to the scheduled course start date.

You will need a Student Identification (SID) Number in order to access the download page for these course materials. If you do not have one, you may register for a SID number here.

Students who are registered for E and L courses will receive a link to the necessary course materials from their course instructors. The course materials will, with little exception, be provided in an accessible PDF form. Any student who wishes to take notes can use this resource to discover the comment, notes, and annotation functionalities built in to the free ADOBE reader for PDF files.
