The New Mexico Certified Emergency Manager (NMCEM) program started in 1997 and was patterned after the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM) Certified Emergency Manager (CEM) requirements. Requirements for the NMCEM go beyond normal job requirements. Renewal is required every two years.

Applications must be bound in some way (for example, a three-ring binder or project cover) and tabbed with requirement documentation clearly marked. Packets are due 30 days before the start of the annual conference. Certifications will be given out at the awards banquet during the conference.
