This electronic journal was created as a public service for individuals, scholars, and decision makers who are concerned about emergency management. It is designed to provide a free exchange of information concerning all aspects of emergency management including response, recovery, preparedness, and mitigation. The e-journal is sponsored and edited by the Association for National Defense and Emergency Resources (ANDER) and the Department of Political Science at the University of Akron.

ANDER's approach focuses on continued research, education, and outreach to promote the availability of qualified executives to assist Federal and State governments during times of emergency and need.
