South Dakota Emergency Management Association (SDEMA)

South Dakota Emergency Management Association (SDEMA) is a state-level association of emergency managers (local counties and partner agencies) that organizes an annual SDEMA Conference each September focused on emergency management, information exchange, and educational programs. It aligns well with the user's key terms (state emergency preparedness conference, state emergency management, disaster preparedness, business continuity/COOP relevance moderate). SDEMA is primarily a state association and conference organizer rather than a federal agency; COOP/business continuity material may appear at their conference but is not explicitly labeled on the homepage.
