Topic Overview

Data science and artificial intelligence can play a tremendous role in disaster response including averting major national catastrophes.

In this webinar, I will highlight a few examples of how AI can help predict and prevent major disasters and demonstrate what a highly capable data-driven system for disaster response looks like.
