Abstract
Natural disasters require swift, coordinated responses to minimise human casualties and infrastructure damage. This paper presents a novel AI-assisted drone system designed to enhance disaster relief efforts through advanced human detection and a distributed emergency Wi-Fi network. This drone system, equipped with state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms and thermal imaging, excels at locating and identifying individuals even in challenging conditions, such as smoke, debris, or low visibility. The drone fleet operates autonomously, dynamically forming an ad-hoc network that adapts to the evolving needs of the disaster zone. By integrating real-time data processing with efficient network management, our system provides a critical lifeline for communication and a powerful tool for rescuers to navigate and respond effectively. The detection and communication times are observed to be within the range of 5 to 8 seconds for this proposed system, which is widely used in disaster response.
Fire and water disasters impose critical constraints on search-and-rescue (SAR) operations through rapidly evolving hazards, degraded visibility, and narrow intervention windows. Conventional SAR operations that rely on human operators and single-UAV approaches have limited scalability under such conditions. To address...
To enhance China’s disaster and accident emergency response capabilities and strengthen the digital battlefield system for emergency rescue, an integrated multi-payload unmanned aerial surveillance and communication support system has been developed for extreme weather conditions and ‘triple-disconnection’ disaster sc...

Urban environments are increasingly exposed to complex, dynamic, and interdependent risks, ranging from traffic incidents and infrastructure failures to large-scale crises such as extreme weather events and emergency response scenarios. In such conditions, decision-makers and operators are required to act under time-cr...
A comprehensive, Artificial Intelligence-driven framework for disaster management is proposed, which synthesizes state-of-the-art computational models with foundational hazard theories and culminates in a translational, highly scalable AI framework engineered for equitable, real-world deployment.
