Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the study of crises and their management. It examines how intelligence is used across the crisis management cycle, the governance of uncertainty, and the development of early warning systems for public opinion crises. The journal also explores operational challenges in disaster preparedness and response, the role of artificial intelligence in coordination, and strategies for motivating public self-protection. Additionally, it investigates perceptions of polycrises, the navigation of institutional ambiguity by non-governmental organizations, and the fractal characteristics of online public opinion risk evolution. The scope includes organizational resilience assessment, crisis communication in the context of emerging technologies, and theoretical developments in crisis communication within Asian contexts. It also addresses climate risk communication, innovative responses to public health emergencies, and the impact of digital transformation on crisis communication professionals. The journal further delves into disaster literacy, gender roles in disaster management, behavioral emergency management, and the impact of organizational crisis history on reputation in spillover crises.
