Welcome to the NW Tribal Emergency Mgmt. Council website

The NWTEMC is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization that was initially formed in 2004 as a consortium of Tribes in the Northwest region of Washington State to help Tribes participate in Homeland Security and Emergency Management preparedness efforts.

Currently the NWTEMC is composed of and serves Tribes in Washington, Oregon and Idaho for the purposes of information sharing and solidarity in dealing with homeland security/emergency management/public health issues as they pertain to Native Nations.

NWTEMC's Charter and other Incorporation-related documents can be found on our About page.
