Disaster and it's Mitigation

Technologies for Disaster Mitigation.

Artificial intelligence for Disaster Resilience.

It will take lot of time and efforts to resconstruct the whole building & infra affected in disaster. AI can help to rescue the vulnerable people affected in disaster & assist in mapping and developing structures again. Following are the examples

AI models are used to collect data predict the damages as shown in adjoining image.

It's necessary to provide medicines, Food and health kit but extremely difficult to reach out affected areas,AI provides aid in mapping the area & asses the  best route.

AI provides GEO-tagging allocates vulnerables areas, routes and damaged buildings. It becomes more feasible in recovery and rescue mitigation operation.

Pre-Fabs for after Disaster

Natural disasters like cyclone, flood, & earthquakes can cause people deprived of their house. People affected in disaster pay heavy amount of financial loss. In such critical situations its not possible to rebuild houses. Hence Pre-fabricated houses can help to do so.

Constructional Features- As temporary houses have to be completed in short period of time in the event of disaster, materials such as iron frames produced in factories their waste can be used to develop columns for temporary houses. The main material which often implemented is Fiber reinforced polymer material (FRP), 

FRP- 1) light in weight and easy for installation no special skill are required 

 2) They have an exceptional quality of withstanding heavy stresses and therefore used in major applications Eg aeropspace, military equipments (Ballistic armor), marine, automotive and construction industries.

Flood prevention products

 Water- Gate is a clever PVC device that uses the pressure of oncoming water to stabilize itself. A single person can deploy the product in a few hours to protect a home, or larger devices can be purchased to protect entire areas and unrolled trucks.The product doesn’t require filler material that will be contaminate dafter use.

Quick Dam- Flood barrier socks

 Quick dam water barrier socks are the fastest growing flood protection device. Over the past year Quick Dam's distribution has grown to include all major home renovation retailers (ie. Home Depot, Lowes, Rona)

The Quick Dam flood barriers are available in 5ft, 10ft and 17ft long pieces, suitable for all types of environments. And based on reviews so far, the product is doing a good job of keep homeowners property dry in the wake of rising flood waters.

One pack has an absorbing capacity of 12Ltrs approximately.

Real-Time risks map for disaster prevention

The Real-time risks maps show risks levels in colors on a scalable map for landslides,inundation, rivers which overflow due heavy rainfall causes floods. It enables viewers to recognize easily the location of risks and their levels. This detailed information is generated by using collected rainfall observations., analyzing and forecasting rainfall distributions, simulating the flow of water underground and through rivers, evaluate the risks of associated with past disasters.

The maps provides risk information taking into account future risk 3 hrs ahead, enables to evacuate people in risk allocated areas preventing loss of life.

MAP- 1) Light blue means that river is at lower risk level.

           2) Yellow means at advisory risk.

            3)  Red at warning levels.

            4)  Light purple means above warning levels

            5)  Dark purple means already flooded.
