Ty Davisson, Washington University in St. Louis’ emergency management director, graduated from the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s prestigious National Emergency Management Executive Academy on Aug. 30.
Through his classes at the Executive Academy, Davisson gained a deeper understanding of current emergency management issues and learned about tools for acting decisively during a disaster. Davisson also collaborated with other senior-level emergency managers in simulated emergency exercises.
The Executive Academy is the final phase of FEMA’s Emergency Management Professional Program, designed to challenge senior executives’ critical-thinking and problem-solving skills in complex situations.
