Registering for SID (Student ID number) from FEMA

Emergency Communications
1

I am having a great time taking the Emergency Communications 101 class. Highly recommended!

I just finished chapter 14 and I am interested in taking the 2 FEMA courses that are recommended. We are instructed to get an SID number form FEMA so that’s what I’m attempting to do.

In the application, FEMA seems to insist that you use your company email. Why? I am registering for myself, not my company. I would really rather not have to use that address.

Is there some reason for this? Does it really matter? Can I use my home email address?

Thanks & 73,

Hi Pierre,

The FEMA site is designed for Public Safety groups, so they aim to maintain data continuity for those organizations. That’s why they prioritize “company” email addresses. If KD9SSY doesn’t work for a Public Safety group, using a personal email should be fine.
