The use of technology can genuinely cover all bases when it comes to controlling and monitoring disasters.
Fremont, CA: Mankind's resource-hungry mentality and burgeoning urbanization have left nearly every part of the planet vulnerable to natural calamities and climate change. Natural disasters have caused approximately 80 percent of worldwide economic losses in terms of death tolls and assets and resources over the past two decades, shocking as that may sound. Disaster impact assessments, reliefs, and recoveries have benefited greatly from cutting-edge technology. However, the considerably greater role that the innovative technology industry can play in the future well-being of mankind, particularly in times of crisis and natural tragedies, draws more attention.
Technologies that are changing the risk management landscape:
Cloud Computing for Internet-Based Data Access
Cloud technology is the most important emerging technology for coping with natural disasters and other threats to human life. Thanks to cloud computing, securing internet-based services and data is now possible. Cloud servers can shift the symmetry of how disaster-prone locations establish safe behaviors by exchanging information using the internet to communicate real-time data with organizations and individuals.
Using Social Media to Build a Global Community
With the increasing growth of smartphone users and mobile phone applications worldwide, the early warning communications potential has increased significantly. Disaster management efforts can be led and supported by social media platforms. In the event of a disaster, rescue personnel can take advantage of interconnected networks to share early warning information with each other and the people in the crowd.
Apps and Gadgets that use AI to aid in disaster relief and rescue
With biometric verification, AdaBoost algorithm, and data labeling techniques, AI-powered image recognition systems can help rescuers discover anguished human beings trapped in flooding, ruined houses, and damaged roadways. Even in the direst of circumstances, AI-enabled automated mechanical systems can help humanity prevail over the annihilating effects of calamities like earthquakes, hurricanes, and tornadoes. Forecasting accurate weather and natural disasters are done with the help of early warning systems (EWS), which use the same AI technology. Response times can be speeded up as well as relief efforts if disaster information is made available earlier.
