Imagining and governing the future has become a core challenge for research and practice alike (Muiderman et al. Aspects of future governance or anticipatory governance (Fuerth 2009 Quay 2010 Guston 2013 Muiderman et al. Future Emergencies pose challenges in the handling of uncertainty and non-knowledge. The anticipation of futures plays an increasing role in emergency management.
