Novel Research on Natural Disaster Prediction and Prevention Technology

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue of our journal on “Novel Research on Natural Disaster Prediction and Prevention Technology”. With the increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters, advancements in this field are crucial. Recent studies have focused on integrating meteorological and geological data to enhance forecast accuracy, and innovations in remote sensing, machine learning, and big data analytics are being harnessed to predict disasters such as rainstorms, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and so forth. Moreover, research on resilient infrastructure and community preparedness is gaining momentum.

This Special Issue highlights these developments, showcasing the latest scientific and technological advancements in natural disaster prediction and prevention. Submissions should provide insights into the integration of technology into emergency response, risk assessment methodologies, and the role of public policy in enhancing disaster resilience. We welcome interdisciplinary contributions that bring together perspectives from the environmental sciences, engineering, social sciences and information technology. We encourage authors to present empirical research, case studies, and theoretical explorations that demonstrate the effectiveness of novel approaches in mitigating the impact of disasters.

Please submit your manuscript by 20 May 2025 through our submission system. All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous peer-review process. Selected papers will be published in this Special Issue, providing a platform for researchers to share their findings with a global audience.
