Every year natural disasters like flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, and fire put millions across the globe at risk and cause losses worth trillions.1<\/sup> Climate change is expected to drive up the pace and severity of these events. The AI for Good Lab is currently doing a lot of work to combine geospatial data, like high-resolution satellite imagery, with innovative machine learning techniques to analyze the impacts of disasters, which can help governments respond once an event has happened. But we are going beyond that, developing tools to help predict natural disaster impacts ahead of time, making it possible to better target efforts to prevent loss of life and mitigate damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPredicting cyclone damage and heat wave impacts in India<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
