AL for EM: Challenges and Opportunities of Next-Generation Solutions The future of emergency management is rapidly changing. More frequent and intense disasters put pressure on emergency operations centers to rapidly share and analyze data that informs decision-making. At the same time, new technologies and capabilities like AI pose a broad mix of both opportunities and challenges. DHS’s Emergency Management of Tomorrow Research Program is exploring the AI and emergency management landscape by connecting with stakeholders to identify areas of opportunity. This panel will convene leaders from government, research, and industry to discuss how new innovations can support emergency managers. Panelists:Dan Cotter, Executive Director, Office of Science and Engineering Jonathan Barr, Senior Research Engineer, PNNL Ann Lesperance, Director of Northwest Regional Technology Center, PNNL Carrie Speranza, CEM, Director of Emergency Solutions, Esri Russell Strickland, Director Harford County Department of Emergency Services Learn More:

What We’ll Be Talking About
Join the Community Lifeline Status System demonstration Tuesday, November 19, at 10:00 AM!
The Community Lifeline Status System (CLSS) is a reporting construct that provides emergency management agencies with a comprehensive tool to approach lifeline status planning, monitoring, and reporting across areas impacted by a disaster. Developed by S&T, FEMA and G&H International, the system is designed to operationalize FEMA’s eight community lifeline areas by simplifying communications. CLSS provides a standardized platform for a data library, lifeline specific impact assessment, analysis, and reporting of critical information at local, state, tribal and federal agencies.

The emergency management threat landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace due to challenges like climate change, urbanization, and technological advancements. This shifting landscape requires a dynamic and adaptable approach. S&T has partnered with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to execute the Emergency Management of Tomorrow Research (EMOTR) program to assess the emergency management research landscape, elicit capability needs from stakeholders, conduct validation exercises, and identify where technology can help our emergency operations centers.
