Abstract	Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, wildfires, hurricanes, landslides, and industrial accidents pose significant threats to human lives, infrastructure, and economic stability. Traditional disaster monitoring and emergency response systems often rely on manual observation, delayed reporting mechanisms, and limited analytical capabilities, which may reduce the effectiveness of early warning and rescue operations. The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Deep Learning (DL), has created new opportunities for developing intelligent disaster detection and response systems capable of analysing large-scale data in real time. This study presents a comprehensive review of Deep Learning techniques for automated disaster detection and emergency response. The research adopts a qualitative and analytical methodology based on secondary data collected from scientific publications, disaster management frameworks, remote sensing studies, and AI-based emergency response applications. The study explores the role of deep learning models, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Long Short-Term Memory Networks (LSTMs), Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), and Transformer-based models in disaster prediction, detection, classification, damage assessment, and response optimisation. The findings indicate that deep learning significantly improves disaster management by enabling automated analysis of satellite imagery, drone-based observations, social media data, sensor networks, and geographical information systems. AI-driven models can detect disaster events at an early stage, estimate affected areas, identify damaged infrastructure, and support emergency decision-making. Furthermore, integration with Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, and cloud platforms enhances real-time monitoring and response capabilities. However, challenges related to data availability, model reliability, computational requirements, ethical considerations, and deployment in resource-limited environments remain significant barriers. Effective implementation requires robust AI frameworks, high-quality datasets, interdisciplinary collaboration, and human-centred disaster management strategies. The study concludes that Deep Learning-based disaster detection systems represent a transformative approach for improving emergency preparedness, reducing response time, and enhancing disaster resilience. Future disaster management ecosystems will increasingly rely on AI-powered intelligent systems for accurate prediction, rapid response, and sustainable recovery planning.
