Post Disaster: Speedy Mitigation and Reconstruction Matter Most

- A multi-town gas explosion
- Downtown flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey
- Fast-tracked resort restoration post-Hurricane Ian, months ahead of others

Emergency Management Organizational Structures, Staffing, and Capacity Study
This 274-page report by Argonne National Laboratory is getting a lot of attention in the emergency management community. It was produced in collaboration with three highly credible organizations — International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM), National Emergency Management Association (NEMA), and Big City Emergency Managers (BCEM)
Dan Stoneking, author at Homeland Security Today, says this about the report: “The authors claim early on that the study represents the most comprehensive effort to capture foundational data about public sector Emergency Management (EM) agencies to date. They have completely fulfilled that claim. Some of the data confirms what most of us knew anecdotally. Some of the data is all at once shocking and sobering. And all of the data serves as a foundation for future decision-making.”

AuditBoard’s new report, Emerging trends in governance, risk and compliance highlights how today’s GRC leaders are adapting in real time. Here’s a preview of what you’ll find:
- Over 50% of enterprises are using or exploring AI for compliance and risk automation.
- ESG is no longer a siloed effort — it’s integrated with risk, compliance, and strategy.
- The rise of data privacy laws is forcing orgs to rethink GRC foundations.
- Top-performing teams are embedding compliance in day-to-day operations — not bolting it on.
