AI-Based Disaster Response: Predictive Models for Emergency Management

Abstract

In recent years, the increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters have highlighted the urgent need for effective emergency management strategies. This paper presents an innovative approach to disaster response through the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and predictive modeling. By leveraging vast datasets, including historical disaster records, real-time environmental data, and social media analytics, we developed predictive models that enhance situational awareness and facilitate timely decision-making during emergencies. Our research showcases the potential of machine learning algorithms to forecast disaster occurrences and assess their impacts on communities. Furthermore, we discuss the integration of these predictive models into existing emergency management frameworks, emphasizing their role in resource allocation, evacuation planning, and post-disaster recovery efforts. The findings indicate that AI-driven predictive analytics can significantly improve response times and outcomes, ultimately reducing the loss of life and property. This paper contributes to the growing body of knowledge on AI applications in disaster management and underscores the importance of proactive strategies in mitigating the effects of future disasters.
