African Disaster Mitigation Reseach Center ADMiR

📣 Wrap-up from our SMART HORIZONS workshop at ACAG9!
Led by ADMiR under ARICA23_714, we brought regional and global experts together to show how AI/ML, GeoAI, IoT, and VR can cut time-to-alert and turn data into life-saving action across the Arab region.

Key takeaways:

Bridge social + physical sciences so alerts become protective action.

Build trust in AI-based warning through transparency, auditability, and fewer false alarms.

Close monitoring & data gaps: expand low-cost IoT, explore fiber-optic DAS, and create an open regional data hub.

Invest in education & capacity and update codes & practice for multi-hazard resilience.

🎯 Our message: Resilience grows when tech meets culture, governance, and public trust.
