The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) has announced that it is exploring the use of Artificial Intelligence to speed up incident reporting and improve information flow during emergency operations. The initiative follows a recent training programme designed to equip LASEMA officers with the skills needed to implement AI technology in their daily work.
During the training, officers were introduced to AI tools that can automate data collection, analyse real‑time information, and generate rapid incident reports. The programme aimed to enhance the agency’s ability to respond swiftly to emergencies across the state.
By integrating AI into its emergency response framework, LASEMA hopes to streamline communication between field units and command centres, reduce delays in reporting, and provide decision‑makers with more accurate, timely information.
LASEMA’s move comes as Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city, continues to face growing challenges in managing emergencies. The agency’s adoption of AI is part of a broader effort to modernise emergency services and improve public safety in the bustling metropolis.
