SXSW 2019

Next Gen Disaster Response

Description:

When disaster strikes, response teams mobilize to collect, analyze and activate on rapidly changing information. But the growing complexities of today’s disaster landscape make tackling this big data public health challenge a daunting task.

Imagine using autonomous data and response systems or advanced machine learning methods such as deep learning to leverage disaster data. Or, think about employing nontraditional data sources such as drones and LIDAR sensing to enable emergency response and recovery during disasters and other public health emergency situations. Come envision the not-so-distant future of disaster response.
