Abstract

The rapid advancement in technology has led to the development of autonomous systems that are increasingly being integrated into various sectors, including disaster response and management. This paper explores the potential and challenges of using autonomous systems in disaster scenarios. It begins by defining autonomous systems and their key characteristics, followed by an analysis of their application in disaster response and management. The paper discusses the benefits, such as enhanced efficiency, reduced human error, and real-time data collection, while addressing the limitations, such as technical reliability and ethical considerations. Further, the paper examines case studies and best practices in the field, highlighting successful implementations of autonomous systems in disasters. Finally, it proposes recommendations for the development and adoption of these systems to maximize their effectiveness in disaster response and management.
