AISDR: AI and Data Science for Crisis and Disaster Resilience

Today’s uncertain world has seen an increase in emergencies, crises and disasters (ECDs), such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Hurricane Ian, global financial inflation and recession, disasters related to misinformation, and cyberattacks. AI for smart disaster resilience (AISDR) transforms classic reactive and scripted disaster management to digital proactive and intelligent resilience across ECD ecosystems. A systematic overview of diverse ECDs, classic ECD management, ECD data complexities, and an AISDR research landscape are presented in this chapter. Translational disaster AI is essential to enable smart disaster resilience.
