Abstract

Accurate prediction of the type of disaster and the rate affected using images can go a long way in improving disaster management. Machine learning models have been proven to analyze disaster images to extract meaningful insights into the challenges of timely disaster response and mitigation. Using large datasets of disaster imagery, these models classify the types of disasters that occur, such as floods, wildfires, and earthquakes, while estimating the level of damage. This is beneficial in expediting resource allocation and prioritizing rescue operations. This paper explores a framework where the ML model processes disaster images to predict the type of disaster and rate of being affected. The model has used more advanced techniques, such as CNN for feature extraction, and regression layers to estimate the severity. Finally, we also discuss applications, limitations, and potential improvements to the model. The findings show the transformative role of image-based ML models in disaster assessment and response planning, paving the way for more efficient disaster management systems.
