DHS S&T partnered with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) on the Emergency Management of Tomorrow Research (EMOTR) program. PNNL hosted three tabletop exercises (TTX) to develop concepts for the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) of the Future and provide recommendations to assist DHS S&T in future decision-making with regards to research and development (R&D) and investments toward establishing a framework for a national, coordinated approach to EM.
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 practitioners, and identify where technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI), may benefit the future of emergency management and emergency operations centers.

New S&T landscape assessment report explores the current state of emergency management, identifies areas of opportunity, and drives proposals for future R&D investment.
As part of the Emergency Management of Tomorrow Research (EMOTR) effort, sponsored by the DHS Science and Technology Directorate, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory conducted an emergency management (EM) research and development landscape assessment to identify existing research and relevant enabling technologies in various EM-related themes and stages of maturity. The literature review included publicly available research papers and open-source material from identified U.S. academic institutions, national laboratories, and other research centers. This is a summary report of peer-reviewed research in emergency management from 2018-2023. For more information, please reach out to first.responder@hq.dhs.gov.
