Researchers at the University of Connecticut Global Environmental Remote Sensing (GERS) Laboratory have been making progress on achieving near real-time post-disaster monitoring and evaluation. For the last few years, they have been developing a tool that uses machine learning to identify land disturbances around the continental United States.
Since the end of the 1990s, many countries around the world began to implement the notion of disaster risk management as a paradigm shift to enable a shift from the existing and reactive disaster response efforts to a more proactive way of addressing the root causes of risks. This new framework introduced the notion of risk as the set of pre-existing conditions that represented the predisposition of an asset, a livelihood, a community, a city, a province, or a country to be affected by a natural hazard.
