“…Facing the facts and foreseeable future of increasing number and scale of disasters, it is critically important to further strengthen the capability to prevent and respond to emergencies in either urban or rural areas. Emergency management or disaster management can be understood as "a complex and multi-disciplinary process of planning and implementing measures that aim at preventing risks of disasters and enabling effective response whenever an undesirable event occurs" [6]. A broad framework including four phases of emergency management has been developed to guide practices since 1980s, namely mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery [48].…”

“…Despite the great potentials of various ICTs identified in emergency management, scholars have also noticed that adoption and use of ICTs are still lagging behind or do not often reach its full potential for effective emergency mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery [6,48]. This suggests the presence of certain challenges or barriers to ICT adoption and use in emergency management agencies.…”

Emergency management has been a very important and relevant topic in the 21 st century as both urban and rural areas face serious challenges related to an increase of natural disasters as well as man-made emergencies. Advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs) have been one of the key tools to improve action in the different phases of the emergency management life cycle. This study aims to provide an overview of key determinants of ICT adoption and use in emergency management and proposes a research agenda for the future. Based on a comprehensive review of existing literature, this paper identifies multiple determinants at the individual, organizational, and contextual levels that influence ICT adoption and use for emergency management. Overall, the review concludes that specific determinants associated with the unique needs of emergency management and with particular features of rural areas require more attention in future research.

The assessment process of readiness for adoption an educational system considers the lifeblood of the e-learning system in a particular educational organization and the ability to assess the organization's readiness among the main factors which contributes to the success and progress. The readiness models are instruments that assist educational organizations in measuring their capability level and identifying the gaps to develop a strategy for implementing and adopting e-learning system. Due to the sudden chaos that Iraqi educational institutions have been exposed to the Covid-19 epidemic since the beginning of 2020, the e-learning system has been adopted as a quick alternative educational system for the continuation of the educational process without taking into consideration the readiness of the basic components of the educational process, which comprises the readiness of the infrastructure, human and educational organization to adopt such systems. Despite increased attention by stakeholders and the government with the readiness assessment process recently, there is no comprehensive model for assessing e-learning readiness in Iraqi higher education institutions, the purpose of this study is to design a model of an e-learning readiness assessment for Iraqi universities based on the comparative studies and the experts’ views. It is worth to mention that the proposed model has objectively designed according to particular features and local characteristics country. The fuzzy delphi method was utilized for the validation process of the proposed model. The main dimensions and all factors of the proposed model reached the experts’ agreement except a number of measures that did not achieve the assessment requirements. The final analysis result indicates that the e-learning readiness assessment model includes 3 main dimensions and 13 factors with 86 measures. Iraqi higher educational institutions can employ the designed model to assess their readiness and identify the areas that need improvement and reduce the gaps failures in e-learning adoption.
