Policymakers and disaster managers are increasingly utilizing AI technologies to identify and respond to emergent disaster risks caused by climate volatility. AI applications enhance hazard modeling, predictive analytics, risk communication, and resource allocation for both anticipatory action and disaster response. However, as AI tools evolve, there is a critical need to evaluate their effectiveness and address potential ethical implications. A panel discussion featuring experts in research, policy, and practice will explore how AI can reshape disaster risk analysis and management. Topics include innovative AI applications for hazards like floods and wildfires, along with the associated policy implications and governance challenges. The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Rachael Lau and feature leading voices in the field, such as Dan Hammer, Beth Tellman, and Pukar Amatya. Supported by the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies, the event aims to highlight advances in AI-driven disaster resilience.
