The Role of AI in Disaster Management
Summary
AI, working alongside other technologies such as mobile and IoT, expands reach and offers faster response at reduced costs. Some tech companies are looking into the possibility of using AI to analyze CCTV footage in real-time to determine the potential for disasters, such as earthquakes, and sounding alarms within buildings. Whether it’s doctors responding to Ebola outbreaks or firefighters rushing to put out an enormous flame, AI makes it possible to view the situation unfold in real-time. So far, the researchers have analyzed more than 4,300 high-resolution images and, using a time series classification, are in the process of building models and annotated data to better understand vegetation cover, land use, and how these factors affect bushfires. “They can also help with agricultural planning, flood modeling, pollution management, and rehabilitation.” “Many disaster reduction approaches today rely on single data streams such as assessing temperatures, rainfall, or vegetation.
