EMSINA Groups
EMSINA has multiple Groups that reside under the National Group. All Groups are organised in a professional and transparent manner and operate under a similar structure and manner to the National EMSINA Group.
​
The Groups meet individually on a regular basis. The members form professional relationships and an in-depth knowledge of how spatial information is used across the Emergency Management Sector. Each member also has opportunities to actively participate in specialised spatially related projects specific to that Group.
​
All of EMSINA Group's have at least one National representative. These members report the Group's progress, issues/ideas and accomplishments at each National meeting.
​
Membership to these Groups is open to all government spatial or coding professionals who work within or have a direct professional interest in the Emergency Management sector.
