The systematic process of locating and evaluating structural damage to structures brought by seismic occurrences is known as earthquake damage detection, and it serves to both ensure public safety and direct efforts toward rebuilding or rehabilitation. The optimal use of remote sensing for earthquake building damage identification is hampered by misclassification brought by particulate interference and shadowing impacts. To overcome this problem, this study investigates the use of data science tools in the estimation of earthquake damage, to improve the precision and effectiveness of post-disaster evaluations. The deep learning (DL) approach was used in the proposed method, Advanced Barnacles Mating Optimization-Driven Deep Belief Networks (ABMO-DBN),for earthquake building damage detection. A comprehensive earthquake dataset was gathered. This study is experimented on the Python platform. The suggested approach is contrasted with the various approaches that are currently in use, the findings show the suggested technique achieves enhanced performance in average precision (93.99%), precision (95%), F1-score (92.55%), and recall (90%). The objective of the research is to forecast the level of structural damage to several seismic characteristics, such as depth, distance from the epicenter, and magnitude. Predictive models that can direct resource allocation and emergency response activities can be developed through the integration of historical records and geographic data. The results demonstrate how data-driven methods may enhance disaster management plans by providing a quicker and more accurate assessment of earthquake effects, which is essential for minimizing losses and guaranteeing a speedy recovery.
