Crisis-ready telecom: Global approaches to emergency management in telecommunications

Peter Jiang, Joe Rowsell and Stephen Schmidt

Telecommunications Policy, 2025, vol. 49, issue 4

Abstract: This paper examines the integration of Emergency Management (EM) frameworks into telecommunications regulation to address climate-driven disasters. EM principles—prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery—offer a structured approach to strengthen telecom networks and manage crises. By analyzing international practices, the study identifies critical gaps in funding, coordination, and regulatory alignment, highlighting opportunities to align telecom policy with EM planning. The findings provide actionable recommendations to foster cross-sector collaboration, promote regulatory flexibility, and enhance infrastructure resilience in an increasingly interconnected and disaster-prone world.
