Mincyt deploys AI to assess earthquake damage from satellite imagery
Ministry of Popular Power for Science and Technology (Mincyt) — AI damage assessment earthquake response now runs at Mincyt, Venezuela's Ministry of Science and Technology, which built the system after the double earthquake of June 24. Drone and satellite feeds train the model to spot, classify and flag structural harm, plotting results onto colour-coded maps graded from critical red down to minor yellow. Output reaches the armed forces, civil protection teams and the presidential infrastructure commission, giving relief coordination a shared, geo-tagged picture of where damage is worst — a form of AI-based infrastructure damage categorisation applied directly to disaster response.
