The primary outcome was the adoption of disaster management recommendations by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FEMA, which implemented Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). OEMs frequently failed to apply ADA requirements properly. Only 41% of respondents offered thorough operating procedures for PWD, whereas 63% reported that plans met their needs. Although accessible transportation and shelters were commonly discovered, accessible communication techniques, such as emergency alerts, were frequently missing; according to OEMs, sign language interpreters were only present in shelters in 28% of cases. While 62% of shelters allowed assistance animals, just 39% allowed personal aids. It was rare to include the disabled population in plan development and community activities.

The Introduction to Emergency Management and Disaster Science is a comprehensive book that provides the foundational information required to better understand and manage catastrophes. This well-known text’s third edition has been revised and modified to provide students and aspiring professionals with a far more comprehensive and fact-based reference. Disaster science is presently at the forefront of a rapidly emerging subject as a result of greater attention to it. This third edition has significant modifications, which include Perspectives were recently commissioned from professional colleagues and former students working in catastrophe research, emergency management practice, and international policies, programs, and practices, as well as socially disadvantaged individuals. Much better coverage and content in recent research, new disasters, and the worldwide consequences of pandemics and climate change.

Concerns about the management of crises affecting linked critical infrastructure (CI) systems are developing. The need for cooperation among several actors, the occurrence of diverse cascading effects, and limited situational awareness all contribute to the understanding of CI as a complex adaptive system (CAS). Despite the fact that the capacity concept is commonly utilized in emergency management (EM) literature, CI systems have not been well classified or analyzed. This study, which is based on a combination of literature analysis and field research, aims to employ a capability-based strategy for EM to boost adaptability to existing and unanticipated situations. This technique is suited for modeling EM capabilities in a variety of operating contexts and emergency scenarios.

Disasters evoke unfortunate recollections of societal vulnerability. Disasters regularly strike communities unexpectedly, resulting in the loss of social structures and functions. As a result, when it comes to disaster management, building preparedness plans and being aware of uncertainties is critical. The leadership structure that is imposed has a significant impact on how well the community implements the emergency management strategy. In addition to replenishing emergency reserves and financing for sustainability and resilience, leadership promotes disaster management processes. The notion of the entire community in disaster and emergency management is the subject of this research. The community’s participation in disaster control and capacities related to preparedness are further mapped out across the entire community management strategy.

This research sought to give an overview and synthesis of the literature on resilience in relation to emergency management (EM). Four kinds of findings were summarized: definitions, significant aspects, technical instruments, and research contexts. Initially, definitions for flexibility, improvisation, and resilience were gathered and evaluated. Second, four key components of EM resilience were identified: interaction and coordination, team decision making, harmonizing work-as-imagined and work-as-done, and collective sensemaking. Third, our study revealed that five common technology tools—mobile communication applications, integrated information management systems, event history logging, mapmaking, and decision support tools—are used to promote resilience in emergency medicine. Fourth, incident scenarios and participant roles are evaluated—two critical features of emergency simulation.

With COVID-19 as one of the current EDMPP issues, the need of emergency and disaster management, preparation, and planning (EDMPP) is only increasing. EDMPP influences and is influenced by the “social” aspects of persons and society. Therefore, in order to give EDMPP, a complete understanding of the “social” Disasters and disasters disproportionately affect vulnerable communities, and they are typically overlooked in EDMPP. E-coaching, other decision support systems, artificial intelligence, machine learning, reasoning, Bayesian belief networks, and other technologies are becoming increasingly popular for EDM. The study revealed that the literature search had little references to disadvantaged groups, EDI frameworks and terminology, and a lack of vocabulary linked with the “social.”

Safety Management Systems in Aviation provides the foundation for quality management in SMS. Safety Policy, Safety Risk Management, Safety Assurance, and Safety Promotion are the four components of proactive safety that must be addressed in its design. The book investigates the link between cultural maturity and safety management effectiveness, focusing on regulatory agency cultures and expanding on culture evaluation. This third version includes new content on global standards and the consequences for cross-border harmonization. To deepen and strengthen student understanding, the book contains additional chapters and parts, examples, a hypothetical airline safety emergency, and case studies.

The purpose of current nonlinear control theory is to provide system stability and safety, and it has been successfully applied in a variety of domains. Despite this advancement, model uncertainty remains a significant barrier to the synthesis of safe controllers, reducing the controllers’ functionality. This study provides a machine learning strategy to mitigating model uncertainty as it impacts a system’s safe behavior using Control Barrier Functions (CBFs). This approach collects data on a regular basis and adjusts a controller to finally reach safe behavior. We test this strategy empirically on a Segway platform and in simulation.
