The use of social media and emerging technologies in crisis management is a significant trend. Research is focusing on how these tools can improve communication, coordination, and situational awareness during disasters. - Health Security and Pandemic Preparedness:
The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the focus on health security, with numerous studies examining preparedness for infectious disease outbreaks and the integration of public health principles into emergency management practices. - Crisis Communication Strategies:
Emerging themes in crisis communication strategies indicate a growing interest in how information is disseminated during emergencies, particularly in the context of misinformation and public trust. - Interdisciplinary Approaches to Emergency Management:
There is a notable trend towards interdisciplinary research that combines insights from various fields, including sociology, psychology, and environmental science, to develop more holistic approaches to emergency management.
Declining or Waning
- Focus on Traditional Security Threats:
Research specifically centered on conventional security threats, such as terrorism, appears to be decreasing. There is a shift towards broader themes of resilience and preparedness that encompass a variety of emergencies beyond traditional security. - Theoretical Studies with Limited Practical Application:
There seems to be a decline in purely theoretical research that lacks practical application in emergency management. The journal increasingly favors studies that provide actionable insights and frameworks for practitioners. - Single-Disciplinary Approaches:
There is a waning interest in studies that approach emergency management from a single disciplinary perspective. The trend is moving towards interdisciplinary research that incorporates multiple fields such as public health, technology, and social sciences.
