Emergency Management Modernization Program

The Emergency Management Modernization Program (EM2P) aims to enhance emergency management capabilities in support of Army installations, soldiers and their families, civilians, and contractors. The program focuses on increasing situational awareness, decreasing responder time, and enabling quicker warning and notification of personnel during active incidents. Specifically, EM2P includes the procurement and fielding of Mass Warning and Notification (MWN) technologies, Alert! Enhanced 911 (E911) solutions, and Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) capability. The CAD system is designed to provide secure and reliable digital communications to assist military and civilian emergency personnel with emergency management operations. It aims to reduce the loss of life and property, improve reporting and analysis of incidents, and enhance future manpower modeling based on calls for service tracked within the CAD system.

Furthermore, the program seeks to transition from an interoperable but stand-alone CAD system on a legacy network to a fully integrated capability within the Base Emergency Communications System (BECS)-enabled public safety communication enterprise architecture. This involves leveraging a System of Systems approach that integrates Enhanced 911 (E911), Next Generation-911 (NG911), Land Mobile Radio (LMR), First Responder Broadband Network (FirstNet), Geospatial Information Systems (GIS), sensors, and Mass Warning & Notification (MWN). The goal is to provide a standardized, scalable, and common technical solution across diverse installation sizes with the ability to integrate and interoperate with all BECS capabilities. Overall, the EM2P aims to improve emergency management operations by providing advanced technologies that enhance communication, coordination, and response efforts during critical incidents.
