## Summary

Emergency managers are using generative AI to draft public alerts, but the tools can produce inaccurate content. Laura Myers, director of the University of Alabama's Center for Advanced Public Safety, said a county emergency manager used an AI chatbot to create a graphic of Hurricane Isaias threatening the Alabama coast, and it was not meteorologically accurate. Most emergency management agencies do not permit employees to use generative AI, though experts say its use is likely already widespread.
