IoT in Disaster Management: Enhancing Early Warning Systems and Emergency Response

Abstract

IoT technologies are playing a crucial role in disaster preparedness and response by enabling real-time data collection and predictive analytics. This paper explores IoT applications in earthquake detection, flood monitoring, and wildfire prevention. It discusses the integration of AI and big data in analyzing environmental patterns for disaster forecasting. Challenges such as infrastructure resilience, data accuracy, and policy implementation are examined. Case studies highlight successful IoT-driven disaster response strategies, providing recommendations for improving global emergency management systems.
