Technological Integration in Emergency Management: Bridging Risk Warning and Emergency Response Systems

A well-coordinated technological framework can substantially improve the speed and efficiency of risk warning and emergency response systems. However, the synergistic integration of multiple emerging technologies within these systems remains insufficiently understood. This study conducts a comprehensive analysis of technological integration (TI) mechanisms in emergency engineering planning, with a particular focus on the network structures underpinning integration in risk warning and emergency response. Using network visualization and exponential random graph models (ERGMs), results reveal diverse integration patterns in emergency management, with centrality and connectivity emerging as key characteristics of core technologies. The type and functional roles of technologies significantly shape integration tendencies. A strong inter-network clustering effect is observed: Integration within the warning network significantly enhances integration within the response network, and vice versa. Furthermore, this study empirically validates the role of TI in promoting the coordination of risk warning and emergency response systems, offering new insights into the feasibility and value of integrated emergency management systems.
