The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) partnered with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to identify current emergency management research, elicit capability needs from emergency management practitioners, and identify where technology, such as artificial intelligence, may benefit the future of emergency managers and emergency operations centers.
PNNL conducted interviews with emergency managers to enhance understanding of the current state of practice and impediments to information sharing in emergency management. This report details the methodology, analysis, and stakeholder input, and addresses capability gaps, barriers, and suggestions for future research and development.
