Abstract
Disaster management represents a critical area where effective communication is paramount for saving lives and minimizing damage. This paper explores the utilization of wireless communication technologies in disaster management, investigating their uses, unresolved problems, and associated difficulties. Wireless communication plays a crucial role in various phases of disaster management, including preparedness, response, and recovery. It enables rapid dissemination of vital information, facilitates coordination among response teams, and supports real-time monitoring of affected areas. Moreover, wireless technologies empower affected individuals to seek assistance and connect with loved ones during crises. However, despite its potential benefits, wireless communication in disaster management faces several unresolved challenges and difficulties. These include issues related to network reliability, interoperability among different communication systems, limited coverage in remote areas, and susceptibility to physical damage and cyber-attacks. Furthermore, ethical and privacy concerns regarding the collection and dissemination of sensitive information remain significant challenges. Addressing these unresolved problems and difficulties requires collaborative efforts among governments, disaster management agencies, telecommunications providers, and technology developers. Strategies such as investing in resilient infrastructure, enhancing cross-sector coordination, and leveraging emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and block chain can contribute to overcoming these challenges. This paper provides insights into the multifaceted landscape of wireless communication in disaster management, highlighting its potential benefits, ongoing challenges, and avenues for future research and development. By harnessing the power of wireless communication effectively and addressing its associated difficulties, disaster management efforts can be significantly enhanced, ultimately saving more lives and reducing the impact of disasters on communities worldwide.
