Description This report describes the results of a regularly distributed survey of nationwide Emergency Managers as part of The Extreme Weather and Emergency Management Survey (WxEM) series. This project aims to send surveys to Emergency Managers across the United States three to four times a year, although that frequency may change based on Emergency Manager and research needs. The Extreme Weather and Emergency Management Survey, Wave 4 (WxEM Wave 4) was designed by the Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (IPPRA) at the University of Oklahoma and collaborators from Eastern Carolina University and Texas Tech University. It was administered by IPPRA. It is the fourth survey in the series. WxEM Wave 4 opened on December 4, 2023, using an online questionnaire and has been completed by 313 Emergency Management personnel that were recruited from an IPPRA built database of Emergency Managers from across the country (see Wanless et al. 2023d for more info on recruitment). WxEM Wave 4 follows WxEM Wave 1, which was designed to recruit and gather demographic information on participants (Wanless et al. 2023b), WxEM Wave 2, which focused on how Emergency Managers use severe weather forecast information (Wanless et al. 2023c), and WxEM Wave 3 (Wanless et al. 2024b) with its focus on hazardous weather events that happen in the same place at the same time, called compound hazards. Wave 4 measured Emergency Manager communication and collaboration with various partner agencies and organizations. Wave 4 investigated which partners Emergency Managers work with during the preparedness, response, and recovery phases of a hazardous weather event. This report presents an overview of the methodology of the survey data collection, and a reproduction of the survey instrument with frequencies for the questions that elicited numeric responses.
