This book explores the transformative role that artificial intelligence (AI) can play in disaster resilience, particularly in the context of rapidly changing climate conditions. This book delves into the advanced AI models and techniques that are reshaping how cities predict, respond to, and recover from natural disasters. It provides a comprehensive view of how AI-driven technologies can enhance disaster management, offering predictive models, real-time monitoring systems, and optimized post-disaster recovery strategies. The scope of this book extends across the full spectrum of disaster management, from preparedness and mitigation to response and recovery, illustrating how AI can be integrated into each phase to reduce risks, improve efficiency, and enhance resilience.
