The special issue will focus on
the intersection of Emergency Management and Climate Change
as well as the trend toward integrating new, leading-edge
sustainability research and practice into pre-disaster planning
and mitigation and post-disaster reconstruction.
The special issue will be led by
guest editor Professor Attila J. Hertelendy, PhD, MHA, MS, who
has extensive experience as an emergency management and disaster
medicine practitioner and an academic researcher with the Global
Consortium on Climate and Health Education, Columbia University,
Mailman School of Public Health. Dr. Hertelendy is joined by
current Editor-in-Chief, Dr. William L. Waugh, Jr., who will team
up with a special group of peer reviewers focused on reviewing
research and content as quickly as possible to disseminate
real-time information to the field. We will have a series of
guest editors who will share their thoughts on the changing role
of emergency managers.

Background
We present this call for papers
with a statement. Climate Change is real and ongoing. This
special issue will not debate the cause of climate change. The
focus is on the future integration of emergency management and
sustainability research to manage the effects of climate change
through risk mitigation and loss prevention at the emergency
management level.
This special issue will present
the latest research and practice as emergency managers integrate
with sustainability committees across the globe to mitigate the
trend toward the rising frequency and intensity of major weather
events across the US and the world. This special issue will be a
must-read for those in emergency management, government,
sustainability, and public health professions. The goal is
to create a reference work that can be utilized by those in the
field, including actionable research, case studies, and practical
applications. This special issue will be available as a print
issue, and a “living issue” will be updated continuously online
as new manuscripts are received. All manuscripts will be
processed through the standard JEM double-blinded peer-review
process.
