KYEM Training and Exercise Program​

The Kentucky Division of Emergency Management (KYEM) coordinates and offers training throughout the Commonwealth. These training opportunities help to ensure that we are prepared for all hazards, natural and manmade, to keep Kentucky safe.  Each course is available at no cost to eligible students. 

For information on emergency management in the Kentucky Revised Statutes, please see KRS 39A . For Kentucky Administrative Regulations on training see 106 KAR 1:211 and for exercise see 106 KAR 1:221. 

Announcement: Beginning May 1, 2024 KYEM Training is transitioning to digital student material for many courses. This is an exciting development in the training program! Please check the course announcement and welcome email for details for each class. Digital student material is available in the Resources section of this page under “Student Resources" and the material will also be provided in the welcome emails. ​
