The National Tribal Emergency Management Council is a new National Tribal organization formed for the purpose of sharing information and promoting best practices in emergency management and homeland security in Indian Country. The NTEMC was created to be a parent organization to the pilot project NWTEMC.org. The NWTEMC, the Northwest Tribal Emergency Management Council, is housed in Washington State and is a consortium of Tribes throughout Washington, Idaho and Oregon. The National organization will become the parent organization to the pilot, and allow the great work of the NWTEMC to be shared throughout the Nation.
