visiting the emergency management institute was a wonderful way to both get out of the city busyness of dc and to gain some historical and service learning perspective. emi houses the national fallen firefighters memorial while also serving as a campus where FEMA and other emergency management professionals can go to receive training. before the campus was bought and used by FEMA, it was an all-girls liberal arts school. some of the buildings were created in the 1800s whereas others have been added and changed to accommodate FEMA's purposes.
aside from our day trip to emi,we were also able to stop in to the lovely little town of frederick, maryland. our team spent the day, wandering the town, visiting shops we can't afford on our stiped, and enjoying the sunshine maryland had to offer that afternoon.
