Abstract:

With the rapid development of urbanization and continuous accumulation of urban elements, the complexity of risks is increasing. Strengthening disaster risk management and improving disaster prevention, mitigation and relief capabilities, can effectively reduce disaster losses and promote the safe and sustainable development of cities. The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought new opportunities for disaster risk management. This paper combs the exploration of AI technology in disaster risk management. The key technologies and basic methods of AI technology in disaster risk management are discussed from three stages: pre-disaster prevention and preparation, monitoring and early warning; disaster response during the disaster, emergency treatment; and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. It suggests that AI should be applied to the construction of urban disaster risk and emergency management in China, to provide inspiration for spatial security pattern planning and the resilient cities construction.
