• Abstract: Post-disaster assessments of buildings and infrastructure are crucial for both immediate recovery efforts and long-term resilience planning. This research introduces an innovative approach to automating post-disaster assessments through advanced deep learning models. Our proposed system employs state-of-the-art computer vision techniques (YOLOv11 and ResNet50) to rapidly analyze images and videos from disaster sites, extracting critical information about building characteristics, including damage level of structural components and the extent of damage. Our experimental results show promising performance, with ResNet50 achieving 90.28% accuracy and an inference time of 1529ms per image on multiclass damage classification. This study contributes to the field of disaster management by offering a scalable, efficient, and objective tool for post-disaster analysis, potentially capable of transforming how communities and authorities respond to and learn from catastrophic events.
