Question

Arrange in descending order of hazard types targeted in an application of AI for Natural Disaster Management:

• A. A, B, C, D, E
• B. A, C, E, B, D
• C. C, A, D, B, E
• D. D, C, B, A, E

Hint:

AI applications in disaster management are very common for flood mapping, seismic monitoring, landslide prediction, wildfire detection, and drought monitoring.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Artificial Intelligence is used in natural disaster management for prediction, monitoring, early warning, damage assessment, and risk mapping. Some hazards receive more AI applications than others.

Step 1: Understand descending order.
Descending order means arranging from the most targeted hazard type to the least targeted hazard type. \[ \text{Descending order} = \text{Most common} \rightarrow \text{Least common} \]

Step 2: Identify commonly targeted hazards.
Floods are widely studied using AI because flood data, rainfall data, satellite images, and hydrological models are available.
Volcano-seismic hazards are also targeted using monitoring data and prediction models.
Mass movements such as landslides are studied using GIS, remote sensing, and machine learning.
Wildfires are monitored using satellite data and AI models.
Drought is also studied, but in this ordering it comes later.

Step 3: Write the correct sequence.
The descending order is: \[ \text{Flood} \rightarrow \text{Volcano-Seismic} \rightarrow \text{Mass movement} \rightarrow \text{Wild fire} \rightarrow \text{Drought} \] Using letters: \[ C, A, D, B, E \] Therefore, the correct answer is C, A, D, B, E.
