AI-Based Disaster Prediction and Management System
The main objective of the AI Disaster Management System is to create an intelligent platform that can help in predicting, monitoring, and managing natural disasters with the help of Artificial Intelligence and data analysis. The system will study both real-time and past data such as weather conditions, environmental factors, and geographical information to estimate the chances of disasters like floods, earthquakes, cyclones, and fires. The project mainly aims to provide early warning alerts to government authorities and the public so that loss of life and property can be minimized. It will also support disaster management teams by providing a real-time monitoring dashboard and smart decision-making support for rescue operations and resource distribution. By combining AI models with real-world data, the system will help improve disaster preparedness, increase response speed, and contribute to better public safety.
