AI and the Future of Emergency Management: Market Supply and Adoption Pathways

A new RAND Corporation report identifies strategies for integrating artificial intelligence into emergency management agencies, particularly those constrained by limited budgets. The research outlines how agencies can adopt these tools to improve resource allocation and operational efficiency despite financial limitations. By mapping existing market supply to specific public safety needs, the findings provide a framework for local governments to evaluate which AI technologies offer the most practical benefits for disaster response and crisis planning.
