EOC Position Credentialing Program
NQS Implementation
In Fiscal Year 2022, FEMA began requiring implementation of the National Qualification System (NQS) for all Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) funding recipients, including the State of Florida. To maintain compliance with this requirement, the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM or Division) is implementing NQS using a phased approach over the course of three years. Once fully implemented, the Division will be tasked with issuing and tracking credentials for various incident management and emergency management positions within Florida.
