Agentic AI can help hospitals prepare for unprecedented weather
Abstract
As climate change intensifies, healthcare systems will increasingly face unprecedented climatic emergencies surpassing assumptions underlying their emergency protocols. While conventional scenario-based preparedness and contingency planning will remain relevant for most events, they may falter in unexpected crises. In such cases, a threshold-based framework could become essential for hospital response and resilience. Emerging AI agent technology offers opportunities to develop systems that could drive this paradigm shift in hospital climate preparedness.
