Toward an Integrated Disaster Management Approach: How Artificial Intelligence Can Boost Disaster Management

Abstract

Technical and methodological enhancement of hazards and disaster research is identified as a critical question in disaster management. Artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as tracking and mapping, geospatial analysis, remote sensing techniques, robotics, drone technology, machine learning, telecom and network services, accident and hot spot analysis, smart city urban planning, transportation planning, and environmental impact analysis, are the technological components of societal change, having significant implications for research on the societal response to hazards and disasters. Social science researchers have used various technologies and methods to examine hazards and disasters through disciplinary, multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary lenses. They have employed both quantitative and qualitative data collection and data analysis strategies. This study provides an overview of the current applications of AI in disaster management during its four phases and how AI is vital to all disaster management phases, leading to a faster, more concise, equipped response. Integrating a geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) into disaster management enables higher planning, analysis, situational awareness, and recovery operations. GIS and RS are commonly recognized as key support tools for disaster management. Visualization capabilities, satellite images, and artificial intelligence analysis can assist governments in making quick decisions after natural disasters.

Green Organizational Culture and Organizational Performance: The Mediating Role of Green Innovation and Environmental Performance

“…Organizations increasingly incorporate sustainability into their plans and activities as public awareness and concern about increasing environmental sustainability grow (Ikram et al, 2019;Abid et al, 2021). As decision-makers confront rising public sensitivity, tighter environmental laws, and increasing shareholder pressure to protect the natural environment, performance problems become more relevant to organizations (Wang, 2019).…”

The mediating role of green innovation and green culture in the relationship between green human resource management and environmental performance

“…Furthermore, [ 95 ] suggest that peer involvement and environmentally aware cooperation are critical components of green integration. Teams can concentrate on continual enhancement projects to lower hazardous emissions and excessive waste throughout the manufacturing process or on programmes targeted at minimizing the frequency of adverse environmental occurrences within an operation [ 96 , 97 ]. When employees are empowered to make their own choices, they can recognize and promptly remedy damaging actions inside a business.…”
