The Disaster Data Dilemma [Earth sciences artificial intelligence

Abstract

WHEN A 15m wave struck reactors at Fukushima's nuclear plant in 2011, three workers lost their lives. In the years that followed, the death toll rose to 1,650. Almost a quarter of a million people fled their homes, 120,000 buildings were destroyed and a 19-mile radiation zone was enforced – all at a cost of 11 trillion yen (£77bn).
