AI Revolutionizes Disaster Management in India

The Indian government has substantially advanced its disaster risk reduction capabilities through the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) across various disaster management phases. This includes innovations in weather forecasting by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), flood and cyclone predictions through AI models, and the development of the National Disaster Database under the Disaster Management (Amendment) Act, 2025. Key contributions also come from the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in the realm of avalanche prediction and flood forecasting advancements by the Central Water Commission (CWC). Training programs continue to expand to further integrate AI into disaster response efforts.
