Severe weather changes, including landslides and tornadoes, have wreaked havoc across a huge portion of the United States. This trend is seen widely across the world as well, especially during the hotter climate. The population of Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Brazil, and Colombia are not unfamiliar with Monsoon season disasters, yet there still remains a huge lack of preparedness every year. Numerous floods, heavy rains, landslides, and multiple problems related to these calamities occurred in the week of March 29th, 2021 alone. I believe Artificial intelligence can be a huge help in aiding these countries and prevent loss of life and property by calculating pre-disaster symptoms and responding to post-disaster relief as soon as it strikes. This can be done in multiple ways, such as with use of damage mapping technology, satellites, doppler radars and other AI technologies that many organizations are already working on. AI for Humanitarian Action is one such example. I wish to present my research on this topic through my presentation.
