IAAM Grants Reach $1M

The IAAM Foundation was awarded a $250,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to increase emergency preparedness in venues.

The grant helps IAAM fund intensive training in safety and security protocols for emergency preparedness, crises communication, and introduction to a free risk self-assessment and benchmarking tool that promotes readiness for a broad range of hazard scenarios, according to the IAAM’s announcement.

Training will be offered regionally, with open invites to facility managers, public safety personnel and industry professionals.

The IAAM Foundation has received a total of $1 million in federal funding with the addition of the latest grant.
