Application of Emerging Digital Technologies in Disaster Relief Operations: A Systematic Review

New pathways to crisis resilience: solutions for improved digital connectivity and capability in rural Australia

“…Chatbots could enhance the dissemination of location-based information, answer frequently asked questions, improve the accuracy of collected data through requesting further information from users, and efficiently communicate with individuals who speak diverse languages (Stieglitz et al, 2022). Relatedly, big data analysis can help refine and extract appropriate real-time information from large volumes of data gathered from affected areas via social media, satellite images, wireless sensor networks, and other emerging technologies (Niyazi and Behnamian, 2022). The Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud and fog computing can be used to collect and analyse data from users and the physical environment to aid in decision making (Butt, 2022), whilst Web 3.0 has the potential to enhance disaster communication by providing better data integration and personalisation of information and better facilitating citizen reporting and collective problem solving (Ahmed, 2018).…”

Finally, unmanned aerial vehicles have various applications in disaster management, including monitoring, damage assessment, situational awareness, and search and rescue missions (Niyazi and Behnamian, 2022).…”

Comparison of Collaborative and Cooperative Schemes in Sensor Networks for Non-Invasive Monitoring of People at Home

“…Additionally, wireless sensor networks can be used in disaster management to gather information and track the movement of people and resources in response to natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes and floods. Lastly, wireless sensor networks can be used for surveillance, such as monitoring large areas, such as borders, airports and public spaces for security and surveillance purposes [ 6 ].…”
