This intensive course explores the transformative
potential of artificial intelligence to revolutionize
disaster preparedness, real-time response, and long-
term recovery efforts for both natural catastrophes (e.g.,
hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, floods) and complex
human-made emergencies. Students will gain practical
expertise in developing advanced AI solutions, including
machine learning models for predictive analytics,
computer vision algorithms for rapid damage
assessment, natural language processing for crisis
communication, and optimization techniques for
resource allocation. The curriculum emphasizes
applying these technologies to build robust early
warning systems, streamline logistics, enhance
situational awareness through geospatial data analysis,
and efficiently coordinate relief operations, even under
severe time constraints and limited infrastructure
