Urbanization presents significant challenges to disaster management as cities grow and develop, hence increasing their vulnerability to disasters. Disaster resilience is crucial for protecting lives and infrastructure, ensuring economic stability, promoting equality and cohesion, and ensuring the long-term viability of metropolitan regions in these rapidly growing cities. This paper investigates contemporary approaches to creating smart and resilient urban environments through disaster management that emphasize community-based solutions in prioritizing advanced technologies. The key findings of the research include three factors to be accomplished in utilizing technology in community-based disaster management, trust in the crowd, digital divide, and cultural sensitivity. Moreover, the review highlights the significance of the use of smart technologies in improving urban resilience, including but not limited to real-time data-sharing platforms and ML algorithms. Furthermore, it emphasizes the challenges regarding reliability and accuracy in crowdsourced information, stressing the importance of user awareness. |
