Harnessing AI for Environmental Hazard Mitigation and Resilience: Pathways to a Safer Future

Creator

Pandey, Ananya

Description

This chapter explores the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in mitigating environmental hazards and enhancing resilience to climate- related challenges. AI technologies are revolutionizing environmental monitoring, risk assessment, and disaster response through advanced data analytics, machine learning, and predictive modeling. By leveraging AI, stakeholders can predict and mitigate the impacts of natural disasters, improve resource management, and foster resilient infrastructures. The chapter examines the various applications of AI in hazard prediction, such as flood forecasting, wildfire management, and storm tracking, alongside its role in real- time monitoring and adaptive response systems. Furthermore, it highlights the ethical considerations, challenges, and limitations of deploying AI in environmental management. Through case studies and emerging practices, this chapter outlines pathways for harnessing AI to safeguard communities and ecosystems, ensuring a more resilient and sustainable future. 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
