Emergency Management Support Act or the EMS Act This bill establishes additional eligibility requirements to receive emergency management performance grants. Specifically, to be eligible to receive a grant, a state must require local emergency management directors to successfully complete Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provided baseline emergency management training developed in accordance with the National Incident Management System by one year after this bill's enactment and recurrently at an interval determined by FEMA to strengthen local emergency management capacity. Further, a state must submit certifications to FEMA annually regarding compliance. A state that cannot certify that all local emergency management directors have completed the training must submit a certification that includes (1) an identification of all barriers to achieving the baseline emergency management training requirement, and (2) an approach to overcoming the barriers identified with an anticipated timeline for full compliance.
