AI-powered chatbots or voice response systems can guide dealing with significant call volumes to emergency hotlines to provide more effective outcomes.
FREMONT, CA: Technology can change disaster management, especially if emergent technology can successfully be integrated with present infrastructure. When strong ideas and refined gear come together, important advancements in catastrophe management are created. As AI, the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and blockchain evolve more developed. They will greatly improve the nation's disaster response and reserve capacities.
Excluding drone technology, the following technologies are utilized in disaster management:
Big Data
The volume of data gathered has swiftly increased because of digitization and the rising prevalence of smartphones across different demographics. When assessed rightly, this data can exhibit profound wisdom. This possibility has resulted in the growth of big data analytics. Monitoring data such as social media interactions, mobile phone actions, and financial transactions during and after a crisis can assist in tracking people's movements and effectively providing aid. This also plays an important role in disaster management.
Artificial Intelligence
Predictive analytics can employ AI-based algorithms to assist presage disasters and speed up recovery and reaction times. AI-powered image recognition can help identify damaged buildings, roadways, and flooding. It may also build heat maps by combining several data streams. AI-powered chatbots or voice response systems can also assist in dealing with significant call volumes to emergency hotlines to present more effective results.
The Internet of Things (IoT)
The emergence of a refined system noted as the IoT has been aided by the arrival of cloud computing technologies coupled with the internet. IoT-based sensors can guide in witnessing potentially dangerous circumstances, earth movements, and forest fires by measuring carbon dioxide levels, moisture, and temperature. They can also be utilized to monitor river levels to witness flooding.
Robotics
Robots can save victims' lives while putting rescuers' lives in jeopardy. Due to technological advances, robots are now extremely evolved and organized to better support and complement human actors or rescue animals. These can be useful to specialized units, particularly in rugged terrain and life-threatening concerns.
