First Workshop on Language Technologies for Crisis Preparedness and Response

The First Workshop on Language Technologies for Crisis Preparedness and Response (LT4CPR) at AACL 2026 serves as a pivotal forum for exploring how speech and language technologies can enhance disaster resilience and humanitarian coordination. By bridging the gap between computational linguistics researchers and frontline crisis management practitioners, the workshop addresses critical challenges in emergency communication and risk reduction. This event aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration to develop robust, scalable, and ethically-aligned linguistic solutions for real-world crisis scenarios.

We invite original research contributions, system descriptions, and position papers that address the role of language technologies in all phases of the crisis management lifecycle. Submissions focusing on multilingual support, low-resource settings, rapid information extraction, and human-AI collaboration in high-stakes environments are particularly encouraged.
