AI-powered chatbots or voice response systems can assist in dealing with large call volumes to emergency hotlines to give more effective results.
FREMONT, CA: Technology can transform disaster management, particularly if emergent technology can successfully be integrated with current infrastructure. As artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and blockchain become more advanced, they will significantly improve India's disaster response and relief capacities. When powerful ideas and sophisticated gear come together, significant advancements in catastrophe management are created.
Apart from drone technology, the following technologies are used in disaster management:
Big Data
The volume of data collected has increased rapidly due to increasing digitization and the growing prevalence of smartphones across diverse demographics. When evaluated rightly, this data has the potential to exhibit profound insights. This opportunity has resulted in the development of big data analytics. Monitoring data like social media interactions, mobile phone activity, and financial transactions during and after a crisis can aid in tracking people's movements and effectively delivering aid. This also plays a vital role in disaster management.
Artificial Intelligence
Predictive analytics can utilize AI-based algorithms to assist in forecast disasters and speed up recovery and reaction times. AI-powered image recognition can help identify damaged buildings and roadways, as well as 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 large call volumes to emergency hotlines to give more effective results.
The Internet of Things (IoT)
The emergence of a sophisticated system known as the IoT has been facilitated by the arrival of cloud computing technologies combined with the internet. By measuring carbon dioxide levels, moisture, and temperature, IoT-based sensors can assist detect potentially harmful circumstances, earth movements, and forest fires. They can also be used to monitor river levels to detect flooding.
Robotics
Robots are now incredibly advanced and prepared to better support and complement human actors or rescue animals, thanks to advances in computing technology. These can be incredibly useful to specialized units, especially in difficult terrain and life-threatening situations. Robots can save victims' lives while putting rescuers' lives in jeopardy.
