New York City Emergency Management (NYCEM) has designed an internship program specifically tailored
for high school students. The agency shares its lessons learned to help other agencies understand why
such efforts are important, how the program works, and what steps agencies can take to start their own

ensure future resilience. This edition of the DomPrep Journal highlights four key force multipliers for
promoting public safety: information sharing, crisis leadership, situational awareness, and youth
engagement.
