Damage-TriageFormer: A Foundation-Model Framework for Typology-Based Building Damage Assessment from Mono-Temporal Imagery
Yiming Xiao, Yu-Hsuan Ho, Sanjay Thasma +2
Decision-relevant building damage assessment is critical for prioritizing resources and recovery after a disaster, yet most automated methods either flatten damage into a single se…
Data-efficient flood depth prediction through domain-aware coreset selection and tabular foundation models
Lipai Huang, Adithi Srinath, Manas Singh +2
Near-real-time flood depth prediction demands surrogate models that are accurate, fast, and transferable across watersheds. Supervised surrogates can match physics-based simulators…
DisastRAG: A Multi-Source Disaster Information Integration and Access System Based on Retrieval-Augmented Large Language Models
Bo Li, Zhitong Chen, Kai Yin +3
Effective disaster management requires rapid access to information distributed across structured operational records, unstructured institutional documents, and dynamic external sou…
DisastQA: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Evaluating Question Answering in Disaster Management
Zhitong Chen, Kai Yin, Xiangjue Dong +7
Accurate question answering (QA) in disaster management requires reasoning over uncertain and conflicting information, a setting poorly captured by existing benchmarks built on cle…
A Parametric Framework for Anticipatory Flashflood Warning: Integrating Landscape Vulnerability with Precipitation Forecasts
Xiangpeng Li, Junwei Ma, Samuel D Brody +1
Flash flood warnings are largely reactive, providing limited advance notice for evacuation planning and resource prepositioning. This study presents and validates an anticipatory,…
Quantifying Functional Criticality of Lifelines Through Mobility-Derived Population-Facility Dependence for Human-Centered Resilience
Junwei Ma, Bo Li, Xiangpeng Li +2
Lifeline infrastructure underpins the continuity of daily life, yet conventional criticality assessments remain largely asset-centric, inferring importance from physical capacity o…
