“Artificial intelligence in disaster response improves emergency planning, damage assessment, rescue coordination, resource allocation, and real-time communication during natural and human-made crises.”
Artificial Intelligence in Disaster Response: Enhancing Emergency Planning and Resilience Natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and wildfires, along with human-made crises like industrial accidents, pose significant threats to lives, infrastructure, and economies. As disasters become more frequent and severe due to climate change and urban expansion, effective response mechanisms are critical to reducing their devastating impact. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming disaster response by improving emergency planning, damage assessment, rescue coordination, resource allocation, and real-time communication. By analyzing vast datasets from satellites, sensors, weather reports, and social media, AI helps authorities prepare for and respond to disasters more efficiently. AI’s predictive capabilities, data processing speed, and automation tools support faster decision-making and ensure that aid reaches those in need promptly. 1. Improving Emergency Planning ...
