abstract = {Purpose – This paper aims to analyse how emerging technologies (ETs) impact on improving performance
in disaster management (DM) processes and, concretely, their impact on the performance according to the
different phases of theDM cycle (preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation).
Design/methodology/approach – The methodology is based on a systematic review of the literature.
Scopus, ProQuest, EBSCO and Web of Science were used as data sources, and an initial sample of 373
scientific articles was collected. After abstracts and full texts were read and refinements to the search were
made, a final corpus of 69 publications was analysed using VOSviewer software for text mining and cluster
visualisation.
Findings – The results highlight how ETs foster the preparedness and resilience of specific systems when
dealing with different phases of the DM cycle. Simulation and disaster risk reduction are the fields of major
relevance in the application of ETs to DM.
Originality/value – This paper contributes to the literature by adding the lenses of performance
measurement, management and accountability in analysing the impact of ETs on DM. It thus represents a
starting point for scholars to develop future research on a rapidly and continuously developing topic.},
