Robert H. Foresman of the Henrico County Division of Fire was among those to graduate from the Emergency Management Advanced Academy recently. The academy, a program of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Emergency Management Institute, was hosted by the Virginia Department of Emergency Management. The Advanced Academy historically has been taught at the EMI campus in Maryland, but Virginia was selected to be the first state to provide off-campus offerings. The Advanced Academy is designed for emerging leaders from government, non-profit voluntary organizations and private sector managers responsible for emergency management.  All the graduating students are from Virginia.
