Pakistan Minister calls for satellite and AI use to improve disaster preparedness
What happened
Federal Minister for Climate Change Musadik Malik called for greater use of satellite technology, artificial intelligence, and digital modeling to strengthen Pakistan’s disaster preparedness. The government plans to produce an annual satellite-based report before the next monsoon to identify human activities and construction in floodplains. This evidence aims to provide a scientific basis for effective land-use planning and disaster-risk reduction.
