AI in Disaster Response | Hurricane Helene

The U.S. military deployed its Maven Smart System to assist with Hurricane Helene relief efforts. Maven is an AI-enabled platform that uses data visualization to help responders locate affected areas and allocate resources. The system collects data from various sources, including sensors and public sources, and provides it to FEMA and other first responders. This deployment marks the first time Maven has been used for a hurricane, and the military is using this opportunity to refine the system for future use in combat scenarios.
