Artificial intelligence (AI) plays significant role in crisis and emergency management. AI not only can save lives during crisis an emergency, it can further help government officials to formulate strategies for increased safety and resiliency before a disaster strikes. In this paper the benefits of AI technologies in crisis response have been investigated. This study further discusses the role of artificial intelligence technologies such as robotics, ontology and semantic web, and multi-agent systems in crisis response. AI is behind many of the recent advances in technologies for crisis response and management.

Comparing different points and common points about crisis management technical terms among Korean, Chinese and Japanese language can be helpful to understand each country’s characteristics. By comparing 12 technical terms, this study concludes that Korea and China are government-initiated but put citizens before government while Japanese case is led by civil society but they put government before citizens at least in the terms’ uses. Accordingly, it is useful to focus on Japanese civil society even if it is apparently not strong.

Despite ample evidence on individual-level relationship between voting behaviors and health conditions, the country-level bidirectional association between political participation and health outcome remain uncertain. We used simultaneous equation methods to explore the bidirectional connection between self-reported health status and voting turnout among 36 OECD countries. The results confirmed that health condition promotes voting turnout and a higher voting rate also stimulates health status, even at the country level. Our approach could provide a framework for understanding a recursive interrelationship between the aggregated health and political indicators, highlighting the roles of country-level institutional and cultural determinants.
