  Extreme events and disasters resulting from climate change or other
ecological factors are difficult to predict and manage. Current limitations of
state-of-the-art approaches to disaster prediction and management could be
addressed by adopting new unorthodox risk assessment and management strategies.
The next generation Internet of Things (IoT), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs),
5G wireless communication, and big data analytics technologies are the key
enablers for future effective disaster management infrastructures. In this
chapter, we commissioned a survey on emerging wireless communication
technologies with potential for enhancing disaster prediction, monitoring, and
management systems. Challenges, opportunities, and future research trends are
highlighted to provide some insight on the potential future work for
researchers in this field.
