Disaster management is a critical area that requires swift and effective action to minimize damage to infrastructure and human lives. In recent years, drone technology and artificial intelligence (AI) have emerged as potential means to enhance disaster management operations. This study offers a comprehensive overview of drone technology integrated with AI in the context of disaster management. The paper examines numerous applications, challenges, and potential use-cases for AI and drones in disaster response and recovery. The objective of this study is to furnish academics, practitioners, and policymakers with an indepth understanding of the potential of AI-enabled drone technology for disaster management. It delves into various applications for drones in disaster response and recovery, as well as the AI techniques and algorithms that have the potential to fundamentally transform our approach to disaster management.
