More frequent and intense disasters put pressure on emergency managers and emergency operations centers to share and analyze data faster than ever before and with more reliability and defensibility. The future of emergency management is changing fast—and so is the science and technology to protect it.
This is an article by Nick Betzsold and Grant Tietje, an Article Out Loud from Domestic Preparedness, December 11, 2024. The next-generation EOC, which implements cutting-edge technology and AI, does not promise perfect disaster management, but it does mean responders at all levels will have better situational awareness, plan more efficiently, and act faster.

Electricity substations are traditionally only protected by chain-link fences and signage warning of the dangers of high voltage. However, this still leaves property vulnerable, especially to weaponized drones attacking from above, a mode of terrorism being used more extensively across the world and at home. Learn about the vulnerability of electric utilities and the available options to combat this growing threat.
What does it take to bridge science and strategy in the world of emergency preparedness? Caroline Agarabi, Ph.D., shares how her work shapes disaster response plans, supports lifesaving countermeasures, and prepares communities for the unexpected. Dive into her unique journey and insights in this compelling conversation.
