Perhaps technological innovation will one day bring this issue under control, but there is no sign of this at present. At the present time, perhaps the greatest potential of AI in disastermanagement is in its presumed ability to use its algorithms and data banks to provide synthesised information quicker than traditional methods can do so.
This is what, in the climate environment, the World Meteorological Organization and DisasterManagement Agencies at national Government levels are doing. This information is considerable, and appropriate technology is key to drill down to only hyper-relevant data that can then be used to make critical decisions.
It is salutary to reflect that many of those scholars who have studied this disaster are too young to have experienced it. The year 1980 was something of a watershed in the field of disaster risk reduction (or disastermanagement as it was then known).
Reality: They may be, but in the past disaster areas have been used as dumping grounds for outdated medicines, obsolete equipment, and unsaleable goods, all under the cloak of apparent generosity. Myth 30: Technology will save the world from disaster. Reality: The problem of disasters is largely a social one.
