LT4CPR: Language Technologies for Crisis Preparedness and Response @ 
AACL 2026 [1]

We invite submissions to the First Workshop on Language Technologies for 
Crisis Preparedness and Response (LT4CPR) at AACL 2026. The workshop 
focuses on advancing speech and language technologies that support 
crisis preparedness, crisis response, communication in crises and 
disaster risk reduction, and aims to bring together LT research 
communities with crisis management stakeholders (such as practitioners, 
NGOs, and industry) to bring to the fore interdisciplinary solutions 
that have real-world impact.

In this first edition, we especially welcome work on:

  	* Identifying Community Needs: The crisis ecosystem is quite diverse, 
composed by affected populations, policy-makers, NGOs, industry, public 
officers, and emergency management.
  	* Interdisciplinary approaches for analysis, design, and evaluation of 
LT systems: insights from communication studies, social sciences, 
psychology, among others, on how to design and evaluate trustworthy 
crisis technology that fits stakeholders needs.
  	* Translating LT research into operational tools: how to go beyond AI 
model development to user adoption of technology in high-stakes 
scenarios.
  	* Ethics and societal implications of AI in crisis communication and 
management.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

We invite submissions that fall under the following list (but not 
limited to):

  	* Research work on AI for crisis response, such as information 
extraction (e.g., NER and geolocation), situational awareness (e.g., 
automated triage), and more
  	* Qualitative studies to understand user needs and guide technology 
design
  	* Multilingual and multimodal research on crisis and humanitarian 
initiatives
  	* Evaluation and deployment considerations
  	* Automatic approaches to enhance or facilitate communication from and 
to communities during crisis (e.g., computational social media and news 
analysis, summarization, translation, etc.)
  	* Position papers and literature surveys on current trends, challenges 
and future directions
  	* Abstracts for talk proposals or field reports from practitioners, 
NGOs, humanitarian organizations, and field experts, including 
experience reports.

IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission deadlines are end-of-day in Anywhere on Earth (AoE) 
time.

  	* Direct submission deadline: August 24, 2026
  	* ARR commitment deadline : August 31, 2026
  	* Notification of acceptance: October 1, 2026
  	* Camera-ready version due: October 10, 2026
  	* Workshop day: November 9, 2026
