摘要

Public managers and administrators confront the increasing scale and prevalence of crises. Despite some deployments, blockchain applications by governments for emergency management and response management have only begun to scratch the surface. To facilitate greater awareness of the promises and challenges of blockchain applications to the public sector, we consider the ways in which distributed ledger technologies can improve emergency and crisis management across the dimensions of transparency, public trust, and social equity. The article ends with a call for a public administration research agenda on blockchains for emergency and crisis management.
