The IJIS Institute’s ECR-AC identifies key issues related to emerging technology and advanced capabilities in order to advance operational effectiveness and safety. The lack of understanding of technology impacts and absence of clear roadmaps to help navigate the complexity creates major obstacles for executives, practitioners and technology professionals in this sector. Through this committee, the IJIS Institute helps to improve the level of understanding of technology, standards and create awareness on the challenges impacting all areas and phases of Emergency Response and Communications.
