    How Google's "Bard" defines EMI - Draft One

     

    Emergency Management Intelligence (EMI) is the collection, analysis, and sharing of information that can help emergency managers make informed decisions before, during, and after disasters. EMI can come from a variety of sources, including public records, social media, and eyewitness accounts. It can be used to identify potential threats, assess damage, and plan for recovery.


    EMI is an important part of emergency management because it can help to reduce the impact of disasters. By understanding what is happening and what is likely to happen, emergency managers can make better decisions about how to allocate resources and how to protect people.


    There are a number of different ways to collect EMI. The most common way is through public records, such as police reports and fire department records. Social media can also be a valuable source of EMI, as people often post about their experiences during disasters. Eyewitness accounts can also be helpful, but they should be used with caution, as people's memories can be unreliable.


    Once EMI has been collected, it needs to be analyzed. This involves looking for patterns and trends that can help to identify potential threats. For example, if there have been a number of fires in a particular area, this could indicate a problem with electrical wiring.


    After EMI has been analyzed, it needs to be shared with the appropriate people. This includes emergency managers, law enforcement, and other government officials. EMI can also be shared with the public, as this can help to reduce panic and improve preparedness.


    EMI is an important part of emergency management. By understanding what is happening and what is likely to happen, emergency managers can make better decisions about how to allocate resources and how to protect people.

    How Google's "Bard" defines EMI - Draft Two

    Emergency management intelligence is the collection, analysis, and sharing of information that can help to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from emergencies. It is essential for effective emergency management, as it provides decision-makers with the information they need to make informed decisions about how to protect people and property.


    Emergency management intelligence can come from a variety of sources, including:

    • Public safety and law enforcement agencies
    • Emergency services agencies
    • Government agencies
    • Private sector organizations
    • Social media


    It can be collected through a variety of methods, including:

    • Open source intelligence (OSINT)
    • Human intelligence (HUMINT)
    • Technical intelligence (TECHINT)


    Once collected, emergency management intelligence is analyzed to identify trends, patterns, and potential threats. This information is then shared with decision-makers, who can use it to make informed decisions about how to protect people and property.


    Emergency management intelligence is an essential tool for effective emergency management. By providing decision-makers with the information they need to make informed decisions, it can help to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from emergencies.

    Here are some examples of how emergency management intelligence can be used:

    • To identify potential threats, such as natural disasters or terrorist attacks.
    • To assess the damage caused by an emergency.
    • To develop plans for recovery and rebuilding.
    • To coordinate relief efforts.
    • To track the spread of a disease.
    • To monitor the weather.


    Emergency management intelligence is a valuable tool that can help to save lives and protect property.

    How Google's "Bard" defines EMI - Draft Three

    Emergency Management Intelligence (EMI) is the collection, analysis, and sharing of information that can help emergency managers make better decisions. It can come from a variety of sources, including public safety agencies, government departments, and the private sector. EMI can be used to identify potential threats, assess risks, and develop plans for response and recovery.


    The importance of EMI has grown in recent years, as the threat of terrorism and other natural disasters has increased. Emergency managers need to have access to timely and accurate information in order to make informed decisions about how to protect their communities. EMI can help them do this by providing them with a comprehensive picture of the situation on the ground.

    There are a number of different ways to collect EMI. Public safety agencies, such as police and fire departments, often have access to information that can be used to assess threats. Government departments, such as the Department of Homeland Security, also collect data that can be used to identify potential threats. The private sector, such as businesses and utilities, can also provide information that can be used to assess risks.


    Once EMI has been collected, it needs to be analyzed to identify potential threats and assess risks. This can be done by using a variety of tools and techniques, such as data mining and statistical analysis. The goal is to identify patterns and trends that can be used to predict future events.


    Once EMI has been analyzed, it needs to be shared with emergency managers. This can be done through a variety of channels, such as reports, briefings, and dashboards. The goal is to provide emergency managers with the information they need to make informed decisions about how to protect their communities.


    EMI is a critical tool for emergency managers. By collecting, analyzing, and sharing information, emergency managers can make better decisions about how to protect their communities.

    FAQs

    WHY EMINT?

    Why Emergency Managers Need Emergency Management Intelligence - all the time.

    The U.S. has limited application for Emergency Management Intelligence now

    #1

    And it tends to be

    • Law Enforcement-centric / Homeland Security/Military only in the United States, aligned specifically to Intelligence and Investigations
    • Limited to Response and Recovery - not full cycle
    • Focused on Terrorism and Human-driven threats only

    Check out Appendix B of FEMA's 2023 Response and Recovery Interagency Operational Plan

    The U. S Military already includes EMINT into their ICS

    #2

    Other nations are using EMINT in their ICS

    WhAT IS WITH YOUR Logo? WAIT, Is that an Owl?

    Yes: we thought the eagle was overdone (and seems to represent more Operations or Command). And our logo is pretty rough-draft, too.

    Owls are a symbol of wisdom - akin to Intelligence. This Great Grey Owl has great vision.

    The Owl

    Owls have been a symbol of wisdom - akin to Intelligence. This Great Grey Owl is a hunter-seeker and also has great vision. 

    The Color Purple

    We choose purple as a thematic color for Intelligence, since it was not used in the current color-coding for ICS (take a look online via a search engine at the ICS vests available now - you will see white, black, blue, yellow and red). So purple was available. We call it.


    btw - the Mars candy company in late 2022, announced their first new color of M&M's in more than 10 years: Purple. Coincidence?

    The Motto

     "Vigilia Pretium Libertatis" - Vigilance is the price of freedom. Vigilance seems a good single word to describe why we need EMINT. This is the motto of NATO's SHAPE - https://shape.nato.int/page13417157


    We hope they don't mind us borrowing their motto. 

    Why Five Stars?

    There are five gold stars in the center to represent the five areas EMINT is important to: Command, Finance/Admin, Logistics, Operations, and Planning. EMINT should be shared/distributed to all branches and sections as needed - and treated equally and independently by command as any other branch/section.

    Sapietia

    Wisdom

    We like the Latin word "Sapietia" to symbolize wisdom, like the owl.

    Parliament

    group of owls

    Did you know a group of owls is called a "parliament"?  We didn't, until we looked it up online. Interesting how different groupings of living things have different names in the English language. Could be worse: if we picked crows, then it would be a "murder". Click here for an alternate opinion on terms used for venery, from Audubon magazine.  Photo by Taleon Pinheiro on Unsplash.
