Since its founding, the primary mission of the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency (RIEMA) has been to protect life and property in the event of a disaster or crisis situation, through a program of mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Guided by these four principles, RIEMA has made great strides in its effort to improve emergency preparedness in the State of Rhode Island.
Includes consequence management, hazard mitigation, emergency preparedness, training, planning, public education and outreach, alert and warning, and emergency communications.
