Uttar Pradesh has set up an artificial intelligence-based Urban Flood Management Cell at Gorakhpur, which is India's first AI-enabled early warning system for urban floods. The system relies on sensors that supply real-time data and on forecasting models that use this information to predict flooding before it happens. Advance warnings can help city authorities prepare, move people to safety and reduce damage, making the Gorakhpur cell a model for using technology in urban disaster management.
