FREMONT, CA: Technology is pivotal in shaping resilient smart cities and enhancing disaster response capabilities. As urbanisation accelerates, cities increasingly integrate advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and big data analytics to improve infrastructure, optimise resource management, and strengthen disaster preparedness. These technologies enable real-time monitoring of critical systems, early warning mechanisms, and efficient communication during crises, allowing cities to better withstand and recover from natural disasters, pandemics, and other emergencies.
IoT sensors play an increasingly important role in disaster preparedness by enabling real-time monitoring of environmental conditions. These sensors, distributed throughout urban areas, detect changes in seismic activity, water levels, and weather patterns. This data is crucial for providing early warnings to...
