The study is aimed at identifying "Foggy computing and its impact on the analytical capabilities of the business environment in light of crises and disasters." The researcher may use the descriptive analytical approach to suit his nature of the study. Therefore, and to achieve the goals, a questionnaire study tool was developed for this purpose. In addition, the study community included all the national bodies for emergency management of crises and disasters in the United Arab Emirates, which numbered (750) employees. The sample study consisted of (224) employees and the results of the study were as follows; There was an effect of the system quality, information quality, and quality of services on simulation, meanwhile, there was no effect of user satisfaction on simulation.
In addition, there was an effect on the following areas: system quality, information quality, and quality of service on analytical quantitative modeling, meanwhile, there was no effect for the fourth field: user satisfaction on analytical quantitative modeling.
In conclusion and in light of the results, the researcher made several recommendations, the most important of which are: Supporting various business enterprises to practice their activities in an integrated manner within fog or fog computing and activating them to manage business and its uses well in light of the surprises that the business is experiencing at the environmental level
