AI Mapping Coastal Cities to Boost Storm Resilience
-
Coastal cities like Tybee Island and Jacksonville are using AI to map landscapes and model flooding from hurricanes and storms. This helps them respond faster and become more resilient.
-
Ecopia AI is providing the technology to rapidly create highly accurate digital twins of cities to identify flood risks. This is much faster than manual satellite image analysis.
-
AI mapping showed its value after recent hurricanes caused catastrophic flooding in Jacksonville. The tech can update models as coastlines change.
-
The goal is to use the AI models to guide stormwater mitigation infrastructure investments to limit future flooding damage.
-
Rapid highly accurate AI mapping of city landscapes is laying the foundation for building stronger, more resilient coastal communities in the face of worsening storms.
