lang="EN-CA">In this
paper, a deep learning network is considered to study the impact
of the
flooding on the city of Gonaives that occurred on 18 September
2004. Satellite
images collected before and after the disaster are segmented
then partitioned
into 2 and 3 classes and later used to train and test the deep
learning
network, to estimate the damage that was inflicted upon the land
topography and
infrastructures of the city. Experiments conducted on the data
revealed high
performance of the network to identify areas buried in muddy
water and regions
of the city that did not suffer any damages. Data augmentation
scenarios
carried out on the training set translated into higher
performance of the
network on the test data than the result achieved when it was
trained solely on
the original images. The practicality of the deep learning to
locate areas that
were severely affected by the flood and estimate its impact on
the residents of
the city of Gonaïves is revealed.</span></p>

this paper are results from analyses conducted on satellite
imagery collected
on the 12 January 2010 earthquake with a moment magnitude (Mw)
of 7.0 that
devastated Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, and the 14
August 2021
earthquake with moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.2 that struck the
southwestern
peninsula of Haiti. A deep learning network architecture that
constitutes the
main engine of this research investigation to carry out analyses
from images
collected before and after the earthquakes is considered. The
images are
segmented, labelled then randomly chosen to form training and
testing datasets
that are partitioned into 3 classes. Localization of regions
deeply affected by
the impacts of the earthquakes and identification of land areas,
road
infrastructures and buildings severely damaged are useful
information that the
DL network provides to demonstrate its effectiveness. Data
augmentation on the
training side is considered to enhance the performance of the DL
network on
testing and shows its usefulness to reduce performance accuracy
error and make
the DL network a suited component in damage assessment. So, in
the future, the
DL network can integrate recovery and relief efforts as a tool
that one can
leverage on to limit the impacts of natural disasters on human
lives.</span></p>
