Background of the Study
Flooding is one of the most devastating natural disasters globally, with significant socio-economic and environmental impacts. In Adamawa State, recurring floods have led to displacement, destruction of infrastructure, and loss of lives. The traditional disaster management approaches employed by flood response units often suffer from inefficiencies in data collection, analysis, and response coordination.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers transformative potential for disaster management. AI tools such as machine learning, geospatial analytics, and predictive modeling can analyze large datasets in real time, identify flood-prone areas, predict the extent of flooding, and recommend optimal response strategies. By integrating AI into flood response operations, Adamawa State can improve disaster preparedness, reduce response times, and enhance the overall effectiveness of relief efforts.
Statement of the Problem
Flood response units in Adamawa State face challenges in efficiently predicting, managing, and mitigating flood-related disasters due to limited adoption of advanced technologies like AI. This has resulted in delayed responses and increased vulnerability for affected communities.
Aim and Objectives of the Study
To assess the role of AI tools in enhancing disaster management for flood response units in Adamawa State.
To identify specific AI technologies that can improve flood prediction and response efficiency.
To propose strategies for integrating AI into disaster management frameworks in Adamawa State.
Research Questions
How do AI tools enhance flood prediction and disaster management in Adamawa State?
What AI technologies are most effective for flood response operations?
Research Hypothesis
AI tools significantly improve the accuracy of flood predictions.
The integration of AI into flood response operations enhances disaster management efficiency.
AI-driven disaster management strategies reduce flood-related damages and fatalities.
Significance of the Study
This study highlights the potential of AI to revolutionize disaster management, providing valuable insights for policymakers, flood response units, and other stakeholders in improving disaster preparedness and mitigation efforts.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study focuses on the use of AI tools by flood response units in Adamawa State. Limitations include access to historical flood data and variability in the technical capacity of response units.
