Information Retrieval and Classification of Real-Time Multi-Source Hurricane Evacuation Notices

Understand

For an approaching disaster, the tracking of time-sensitive critical information such as hurricane evacuation notices is challenging in the United States.

• These notices are issued and distributed rapidly by numerous local authorities that may spread across multiple states.
• They often undergo frequent updates and are distributed through diverse online portals lacking standard formats.
• In this study, we developed an approach to timely detect and track the locally issued hurricane evacuation notices.
