The eagerly anticipated  Emergency Management Specialist Performance Qualification Standard has been released.  ALCOAST 007/22 announced the promulgation of the Emergency Management Specialist Performance Qualification Standard (01 January 2022) and the cancellation of the Contingency Preparedness Specialist Performance Qualification Standard (11 May 2016).

EMS qualification demonstrates an apprentice level mastery of the knowledge and skills required to perform the duties of an Emergency Management Specialist. This Performance Qualification Standard (PQS) revision constitutes a major update to the Contingency Preparedness Specialist PQS, and more closely aligns with the knowledge and skills required of Coast Guard Emergency Management Specialists.
