Disaster
Management
Technologies
Disaster management technologies aim to reduce
the impact of natural disasters through advanced
tools and systems that enable early warnings,
efficient responses, and accurate risk assessments.
Emerging technologies such as IoT (Internet of
Things), drones, and artificial intelligence (AI) play
a crucial role in making disaster management more
effective.
IoT-Based Early Warning
Systems for Natural Disasters
IoT-based early warning systems use a network of sensors
to monitor environmental conditions such as temperature,
humidity, seismic activity, and water levels. These sensors
collect data in real-time, and the system analyzes it to
detect patterns that indicate potential disasters like
earthquakes, floods, or hurricanes. Alerts are then sent to
authorities and the public to take necessary precautions.
Key Features Benefits
• Sensors: Devices like water level • Timeliness: Provides early
detectors, seismic monitors, and warnings, allowing people to
weather stations. evacuate or prepare.

through SMS, apps, or sirens.
Drones for Disaster Reponse
& Mapping
Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are
increasingly used in disaster response. They can survey
disaster-stricken areas, assess damages, and deliver
emergency supplies to inaccessible locations. Equipped with
cameras and sensors, drones provide real-time visuals and
mapping data to rescue teams.

AI for Real-time Disaster Risk
Assessment
Artificial Intelligence (AI) helps predict and assess disaster
risks by analyzing vast amounts of data from multiple
sources, such as weather patterns, historical data, and
satellite imagery. It can simulate disaster scenarios to
evaluate potential impacts and recommend preventive
measures.
