A Current of Change: The Tools and Innovation Powering Modern Emergency Management

Emergency management has long relied on a core set of planning tools, but technology is changing how these tools are used as staff face an increasing number of challenges. The December 2025 issue provides an overview of the core planning tools and how GIS and artificial intelligence are changing the playing field, as well as a look at the state’s first multi-county joint dispatch center.

The December issue also highlights Green County’s efforts to tackle its housing shortage, an interview with DNR Secretary Karen Hyun, and information on how to get involved with Wisconsin’s many regulatory and oversight boards. The Research Room column looks at property tax affordability, while the Legal Issues column focuses on solar energy regulation.
