Abstract
This report discusses the role of information domain and cognitive technologies in emergency
management in the context of the global pandemic problems, which is also caused by a lack of leaderโs
capacity, knowledge transfer, lack of major investments in the security and health systems. Global emergency
response plans should be based on the โartificialโ reality of our planetary condition and used
as a starting point for planning. Innovative companies are trying to take advantage of cognitive technologies
to automate processes to solve a wide range of problems that require specific knowledge. The
main aspects of knowledge are related to the so-called โPโ categories (Perceive, Perception, Predict) of
our critical environment and data input to such systems coming from sensors and smart elements. The
new model for effective reactions in crisis refers to cognitive technologies, which, if available use an
aesthetic language, generate unstructured texts, process information, used sensors for data in real-time,
reading signals, access to โsmart objectsโ and other algorithmic approaches for searching of solutions
in extreme situations. The cognitive technologies used during contingency planning is oriented towards
the further development of AI in order to improve the performance of machines in terms of intuition,
sensitivity, emotions, and other factors that enhance the planning and decision-making tasks.
Key words
Information domain, Cognitive computing, Emergency planning, Crisis communications,
Knowledge transfer, Machine learning, Infodemics.
