The IJIS Institute ECR-AC will identify key issues related to emerging technology and advanced capabilities in order to advance operational effectiveness and safety. The lack of understanding of the technology impacts and the 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 can help to improve the level of understanding of technology, and standards and create awareness of the challenges impacting all areas and phases of Emergency Response and Communications.
