Disaster response organizations must have timely access to current and pertinent disaster information in order to formulate wise management decisions and decrease the impact of disasters. Social media has developed recently as a proactive avenue for disaster communications. It has made it easier for groups that deal with disasters to get a tonne of information in real time about them from the people that are affected. Researchers and professionals are now able to fully realise the significance of such a user-generated content for aiding sensible decision-making in catastrophe management thanks to advancements in artificial intelligence. This paper provides an overview of how artificial intelligence techniques are now being used to evaluate social media content connected to disasters in order to support disaster management at various stages. It gives a brief overview of a few increasingly digitally systems that use information from social media to manage disasters. This study also highlights a number of research opportunities and obstacles for handling disaster-related information on social media.
