Information that improves situational awareness is seen as a foundation of emergency response strategy because, as FEMA notes, "accurate, timely information will enable more informed, effective decision-making."
State and local governments are facing a wide range of emergencies, from natural disasters to cyber attacks, and the COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped our understanding of emergencies and their response.
