- Title: Intelligent Agent for Hurricane Emergency Identification and Text
Information Extraction from Streaming Social Media Big Data
- Authors: Jingwei Huang, Wael Khallouli, Ghaith Rabadi, Mamadou Seck
- Abstract summary: We use Hurricane Harvey and the associated Houston flooding as the motivating scenario to conduct research.
We develop a prototype as a proof-of-concept of using an intelligent agent as a complementary role to support emergency centres in hurricane emergency response.
This intelligent agent is used to collect real-time streaming tweets during a natural disaster event, to identify tweets requesting rescue, to extract key information such as address and associated geocode, and to visualize the extracted information in an interactive map in decision supports.

- Abstract: This paper presents our research on leveraging social media Big Data and AI
to support hurricane disaster emergency response. The current practice of
hurricane emergency response for rescue highly relies on emergency call
centres. The more recent Hurricane Harvey event reveals the limitations of the
current systems. We use Hurricane Harvey and the associated Houston flooding as
the motivating scenario to conduct research and develop a prototype as a
proof-of-concept of using an intelligent agent as a complementary role to
support emergency centres in hurricane emergency response. This intelligent
agent is used to collect real-time streaming tweets during a natural disaster
event, to identify tweets requesting rescue, to extract key information such as
address and associated geocode, and to visualize the extracted information in
an interactive map in decision supports. Our experiment shows promising
outcomes and the potential application of the research in support of hurricane
emergency response.

This study introduces a novel approach to disaster text classification by enhancing a pre-trained Large Language Model (LLM)
Our methodology involves creating a comprehensive instruction dataset from disaster-related tweets, which is then used to fine-tune an open-source LLM.
This fine-tuned model can classify multiple aspects of disaster-related information simultaneously, such as the type of event, informativeness, and involvement of human aid.

We developed an approach to timely detect and track the locally issued hurricane evacuation notices.
The text data were collected mainly with a spatially targeted web scraping method.
The framework may be applied to other types of disasters for rapid and targeted retrieval, classification, redistribution, and archiving of real-time government orders and notifications.

By evaluating the imagery relative to physics-based flood maps, we find that our proposed framework outperforms baseline models in both physical-consistency and photorealism.
While this work focused on the visualization of coastal floods, we envision the creation of a global visualization of how climate change will shape our earth.

We are working towards a multipronged emergency response tool that provide stakeholders timely access to comprehensive, relevant, and reliable information.
Our tool consists of encoding multiple layers of open source geospatial data including flood risk location, road network strength, inundation maps that proxy inland flooding and computer vision semantic segmentation for estimating flooded areas and damaged infrastructure.
These data layers are combined and used as input data for machine learning algorithms such as finding the best evacuation routes before, during and after an emergency or providing a list of available lodging for first responders in an impacted area for first.
