As a practitioner in emergency management, I knew Adam Crowe to be inquisitive, innovative and on the lookout for the technologies that could improve emergency management and public communication. It's no surprise that Dr. Crowe has turned this deep interest into a comprehensive and insightful guide into emerging technologies and how they apply to the critical task of protecting the public, property and the environment. This book will help professionals sift through the wild frontier of new technologies, enabling them to better plan and prepare for the significant challenges ahead. -Gerald Baron, CEO, Agincourt Strategies The forward thinking approach addresses not only the benefits but also the limitations and challenges of emerging issues often outside the scope of today's emergency management professional. - Brittany Taylor Schaal, Director of Emergency Management, University of Richmond
