About the Webinar
Timely disaster response requires up-to-date damage assessment to prioritize rescue and restoration resources. The increasing accessibility of geospatial imagery from various sensors and rapid advances in AI provided a viable way to enable rapid, scalable framework to assess various types of damages and affected areas. In this talk, we will review the current GeoAI advances and several demonstrations for disaster response. We will also present several key directions to foster GeoAI-enabled solutions for rapid disaster response.
