Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA-OHS) (Illinois)
Last Updated: August 12, 2024, 06:21 am UTC2/17/23 - Governor JB Pritzker submitted an Executive Order to change the official name of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security (IEMA-OHS). This aligns more with what the Federal Government is doing with FEMA being under Homeland Security.
