| Abstract | In a world of e-commerce and the phrase “dot.com, ” and in which increasingly a full range of governmental services are being offered on the Internet, what is the state of electronic emergency management? Increasingly the term Virtual Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is used to describe everything from an EOC with computers, through facilities that offer public information to Internet users, to truly virtual facilities that apply incident command system management principles to supply services electronically. E-emergency management is being deployed component by component, with components being chosen to meet single needs–how to communicate, how to get public information disseminated, how to look at a variety of weather sources. Such growth is demonstrating impressive capabilities that have the potential to make the emergency managers job easier and to increase the services offered the citizens. However, the significant issue remains to identify what functions emergency management performs, and how to perform those same functions in a distributed manner. The critical questions become what can this potential capability do, how should it be organized and managed, and how does it make emergency management more flexible, more survivable, and more effective. |
