Abstract

Natural disasters like floods, landslides, and fires pose serious threats to both life and mental well-being, especially in vulnerable areas like West Semarang, which frequently experiences extreme weather. To mitigate these risks, an accurate classification system is essential for timely prevention and response. This study compares the performance of three neural network models—Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU)—in classifying natural disasters using weather data. LSTM and GRU are particularly effective for handling long-term dependencies and addressing vanishing gradient problems common in time series data. Data for the study comes from the Semarang City Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) and the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), spanning 2019 to 2022. The models achieved a high accuracy of 95.8%, but this is due to an imbalanced dataset—70 records of natural disasters versus 1377 without—resulting in classification favoring "no disaster." Among the models, LSTM performed the best, reaching optimal accuracy in just 20.0671 seconds per epoch. This suggests LSTM is the most effective model for this classification task.
