Sažetak

Decision-making in earthquake crises requires rapid coordination, informed analysis, and ethical responsibility. This study explores the comparative strengths of artificial intelligence (AI) and human judgment in such contexts through a simulated earthquake response scenario. The simulation was conducted as part of the 2022 Civil Protection Exercise Plan of the City of Velika Gorica, supported by Velika Gorica University of Applied Sciences and the Directorate of Civil Protection, with the goal of strengthening the city’s disaster response readiness. The case examines how AI could contribute to operational efficiency and pattern recognition, while also recognizing the
enduring importance of human expertise in ethical decision-making and adaptive leadership. Findings indicate that a hybrid model—combining AI-driven tools with human oversight—offers the most resilient framework for crisis response. The study underscores the need for continued development of integrated decision-support systems grounded in practical exercises and cross-sector collaboration.
