Into The Storm: Using Artificial Intelligence to Improve California’s Disaster Resilience

Disaster Resilience is an area ripe for the use of artificial intelligence technologies. While some governments, companies and universities have already used AI in this field, most are still in the early stages of use. However, AI technologies could contribute to disaster preparation and response better than any other technology or innovation in operation now. It could help identify risks, predict disasters earlier, and assess damage during and after an event. With people’s lives and livelihoods at stake, emergency responders need the most effective tools available for managing natural hazards and threats.
