Join the IAEM-USA Emerging Technology Caucus for this lunch and learn webinar. As artificial intelligence drives rapid growth in data center size, density, and regional impact, these facilities are becoming increasingly important components of critical infrastructure. This session provides a high-level overview of how modern data centers operate, how AI is reshaping their infrastructure and dependencies, and how reliability and resilience are planned and managed. Participants will gain insight into the needs of modern data centers for effective planning, coordination, and response during disruptive events, and explore opportunities to strengthen collaboration between the emergency management and data center communities.
Counties face growing complexity as disaster seasons become more frequent and severe, costs rise, and staffing pressures intensify. In this fireside chat, former FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell joins Brittany Christenson, CEO of AidKit, to discuss what counties can control, from pre-disaster planning and cross-department coordination to post-disaster recovery positioning, even amid shifting federal policies. This session is designed for county leaders seeking practical, actionable strategies. Participants will gain insight into stable federal disaster support, concrete steps to strengthen readiness over the next 6-12 months, approaches to mitigation and compliance, leadership tactics for high-stress situations, and methods for maintaining public trust and clear communication.
Mass casualty incidents involving schools demand more than an effective on-scene response—they require a coordinated, compassionate, and medically informed reunification process. This Playground Chat will explore how K-12 systems and healthcare partners can align protocols, share situational awareness, and integrate medical surge support into reunification operations. Panelists will discuss real-world challenges such as patient tracking, family assistance, behavioral health support, HIPAA/FERPA considerations, and communication pathways between hospitals, emergency management, and school districts. The session will highlight practical coordination models, common gaps, and actionable strategies to strengthen joint planning, training, and response. Join us for an interactive conversation focused on building resilient, trauma-informed reunification systems where healthcare and education work side-by-side to support students, families, and staff when it matters most.
