Harnessing Artificial Intelligence and Big Data for Proactive Disaster Management: Strategies, Challenges, and Future Directions

Abstract

Disasters are events that significantly impact people's lives and living spaces globally. Natural disasters can arise from various causes, such as climate change, geological movements, weather events, and human factors. The damage caused by these disasters can affect millions of people and negatively impact societies economically, socially, and environmentally. Disaster management has emerged as a multidisciplinary field aimed at minimizing the damage caused by disasters and making communities more resilient to them. Traditional disaster management strategies include emergency planning, crisis management, pre-disaster preparation, and rapid response during disasters. However, these strategies generally reflect a reactive approach and rely on human resources and existing infrastructure. This article aims to examine the role and impact of innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data in the field of disaster management. While artificial intelligence is known for its ability to analyze complex datasets, discover patterns and relationships, optimize decision-making processes, and predict future events, big data provides the ability to process large amounts of data quickly and efficiently, transforming them into meaningful information. These technologies play a significant role in pre-disaster preparation, crisis management during disasters, and post-disaster recovery processes. The article discusses how artificial intelligence and big data technologies can be used in disaster management, how these technologies can be integrated into disaster risk reduction strategies, and how their effectiveness can be assessed. In conclusion, the integration of artificial intelligence and big data technologies into disaster management offers a more effective and efficient approach to dealing with disasters and can make significant contributions to making communities more resilient to disasters. This article aims to provide a guide to understanding the current state of disaster management and developing more effective strategies.
