Short summary
The extreme rainfall in Emilia-Romagna in May 2023 caused over 80 000 landslides. Mapping them manually was slow and demanding, so we tested artificial intelligence to speed up this process. We applied two models in different areas using satellite and aerial images. Both produced useful maps that can guide emergency teams, although performance was lower in complex terrains. Our results show that AI can support faster disaster response in future events.
