We are pleased to announce the 3rd ACM International Workshop on Emergency Response Technologies and Services (EmeRTeS) 2021 to be held in conjunction with ICDCN 2021 at Nara Kasugano International Forum IRAKA, Nara, Japan. The goal of EmeRTeS 2021 is to explore the application of new and innovative technology research towards improving emergency response and management. The focus is to provide an inter-disciplinary platform for researchers to exchange ideas, present results, share experience, stimulate new research, and foster collaborations among computer scientists, engineers, social scientists, representatives from government and non-governmental organizations and disaster science experts to develop recommendations for effective emergency response. Please follow the workshop link: https://sites.google.com/view/emertes2021 .
