Abstract
Effective emergency management is vital for optimizing resources and responding efficiently to critical situations, which directly impact lives and the environment. This study focuses on enhancing emergency management in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq by analysing the current system and proposing a modernized approach using information systems. The analysis reveals current system limitations due to outdated technology and slow response times. To overcome the underlying challenges, we propose a proactive technology-driven framework based on a user-friendly mobile application with accurate geographic location data. In-situ testing verifies its potential to reduce response times to approximately 10 minutes, aligning with the average worldwide range. Suggestions for further enhancement and implementation are also provided.
