🌪️ Why AI Is Needed in Disaster Recovery Planning

Manual recovery planning is reactive, fragmented, and budget-inefficient.

AI enables scenario modeling for floods, hurricanes, wildfires, and earthquakes using climate projections and historical loss data.

This supports proactive resilience investment strategies at municipal, national, and portfolio levels.

📈 Core Features of the Modeling Tool

- Risk-adjusted ROI calculator for recovery projects

- Multi-hazard scenario simulation (climate, seismic, man-made)

- Asset prioritization by criticality and ESG co-benefits

- Funding need estimator with insurance and subsidy mapping

🤖 AI Models and Data Integration

Leverage machine learning for damage forecasting, claims clustering, and impact timelines.

Data sources include:

- FEMA, NOAA, EU Copernicus Emergency Management

- Infrastructure asset registries and ESG ratings

- Socioeconomic vulnerability indexes (e.g., SDG 11, Sendai Framework)

🏛️ Target Customers and Market Strategy

- Government recovery agencies and city planners

- Development banks and ESG investment funds

- Insurers and reinsurers managing catastrophe portfolios

Sell as a SaaS dashboard or via integration into resilience advisory services.

🌍 ESG and Infrastructure Impact

AI-based models support:

- Climate adaptation fund applications (e.g., Green Climate Fund)

- ESG infrastructure bond due diligence

- Just transition policies by visualizing community impacts

They help bridge disaster risk and investment decision-making under extreme uncertainty.
