摘要

Emerging Computing Technologies (ECT) are increasingly embedded in everyday systems and services, influencing how societies operate and respond to critical situations. Emergency Management (EM) represents a domain where timely decisions, coordination, and information accuracy are essential, making it particularly sensitive to technological change. In recent years, academic institutions, industry, and public agencies have adopted emerging technologies to strengthen planning, response, and recovery processes. This study contributes to EM research by examining the major domains affected by ECT and outlining their practical use cases. A structured review methodology was applied to a final analytic corpus of 132 peer reviewed studies published between 2018 and 2025, with technologies grouped according to their functional roles in sensing, analysis, communication, and operational support. It further analyzes how the adoption of ECT alters operational practices and decision workflows within EM. The study also identifies key challenges and potential benefits linked to the use of ECT in emergency contexts. Emergency scenarios were characterized based on hazard type, response phase, and decision urgency, enabling consistent comparison across diverse disaster settings. The literature is dominated by Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and data-driven technologies supporting preparedness and response in EM, with real-time sensing enabling effective decision support and inter-agency coordination. The findings support researchers, practitioners, and policy makers in adopting ECT within EM frameworks, with the objective of improving system effectiveness, protecting human life, and reducing asset loss.
