Emergency professionals have a myriad of resources to address disaster issues and facilitate effective decision-making, but are they useful? Several problems exist—emergency managers may not have the financial resources or staff to integrate new tools and technology, the technologies might not meet actual needs, and tools that do provide value can sometimes lack the guidance necessary to ensure they are used effectively. Speakers will discuss these issues and offer examples of solutions that frontline agencies can implement with ease.
