Abstract
The scholarly field of public administration has long embraced emergency management as a distinct area of inquiry, producing a substantial body of both conceptual and empirical research. However, not all emergency incidents are alike. Larger-scale crises and disasters differ in substantial ways from more “routine” or “everyday” services. We examine and report on the latter, focusing on the conceptual and empirical treatment of routine emergency services in 19 US-based public administration journals from 1999 to 2013. This stock-taking article describes the service focus; the focal topic and purpose of the research; the conceptual or empirical orientation, the unit of analysis, sampling logic and sample size, and data collection sources and methods. Findings indicate that most articles focus on the policing and law enforcement as opposed to fire and emergency medical services. Research foci generally include mainstay topics like human resources, organizational behavior, management, and professionalism, though some focus on topics more specific to these services like community-citizen interactions. This body of existing research is largely exploratory in nature, and primarily uses quantitative data. Directions for future research and concluding comments are provided.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
