Abstract: This paper presents SankatSuraksha, an AI-driven multi-hazard disaster
monitoring and response system, integrated within a scalable Disaster Response
Coordination and Monitoring System (DRCMS). SankatSuraksha uses a state-of-the-art
deep learning pipeline—incorporating U-Net and DeepLabV3+ architectures—to detect
floods from satellite imagery, leveraging public datasets such as Sentinel-1/2 for robust
segmentation. The DRCMS complements this monitoring with dynamic user and admin
portals that allow disaster reporting, volunteer and NGO registration, and interactive
dashboards. Central to the system is a novel credibility scoring mechanism that assigns trust,
severity, and urgency scores to reports and actors, enabling prioritized, data-driven resource
allocation and response. The platform integrates real-time satellite analytics with
crowdsourced data to enhance situational awareness and operational efficiency. A modular
Streamlit interface supports demo and deployment, featuring geospatial mask visualization
and export capabilities. Evaluation on synthetic and real-world flood data sets demonstrates
improved prediction accuracy and quicker, more reliable coordination compared to
conventional, manual approaches. Future work includes expansion to other hazards and
nationwide scalability.
