On behalf of Mehmet Ulema and Doug Zuckerman, I would like to invite you to a virtual workshop that will explore the opportunity for IEEE to make a significant impact in the area of global public safety. Please spread the word among fellow volunteers who may be interested.
20-21 September 2021, 11am to 3pm Eastern each day.

Technology can play a significant role in making prevention, response and recovery to disasters (natural and human-caused) faster, more efficient and more effective. We envision a new IEEE initiative within the Future Directions Committee that can address the technologies currently used, investigate additional current and emerging technologies, and consider the need for new technologies that could be used for public safety applications. The goal is to leverage the expertise of IEEE in helping public safety agencies and personnel improve their effectiveness and performance.
This workshop will kick-off discussion on the definition, scope and potential structure of an IEEE Public Safety Technology effort. Since public safety requires support from many different areas of technology, this effort requires participation from multiple Society, Council, Technical Community and other OU groups in an umbrella initiative to put IEEE in a leadership role in this domain. The workshop will feature keynote talks from invited guests, but most of all we are calling for short presentations from volunteers/members across all of IEEE for their perspectives.
If you would like to request time on the agenda for a presentation from your Society, Council, Technical Community, OU, please email public-safety-tech@ieee.org
