Abstract:

Disasters occur all over the world, and affect a rising number of people. The health effects of natural disasters depend on several factors present before, during, and after a disaster event. However, there is only limited knowledge of survivors experiences, needs, and health after natural disasters. Disaster radio means a temporary radio station that broadcasts information, music, and support to the affected population. Disaster radio has the potential to function even in a severely affected area, but its effects need to be further evaluated from a health perspective. The context of this thes

Abstract:

Severe recovery deficits after post-disaster interventions have become the landscape seen globally. Humanitarian operations have struggled to find coherence between relief and recovery activities, which has resulted in a perceived operational gap between relief, recovery and development. This current dynamic has caused significant deficiencies within humanitarian programming, such as weak strategy, a lack of transition mechanisms, exit plans and effective recovery. A situation that stems from the current paradigm the humanitarian system operates under and the framework that has evolved around

Pourvali, Mahsa. "Resilience of Cloud Networking Services for Large Scale Outages." Scholar Commons, 2017. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/6664.

Abstract:

Cloud infrastructure services are enabling organizations and enterprises to outsource a wide range of computing, storage, and networking needs to external service providers. These offerings make extensive use of underlying network virtualization, i.e., virtual network (VN) embedding, techniques to provision and interconnect customized storage/computing resource pools across large network substrates. However, as cloud-based services continue to gain traction, there is a growing need to address a range of resiliency concerns, particularly with regards to large-scale outages. These conditions can

Abstract:

Management of critical infrastructure during post-disaster recovery needs to be underpinned by a holistic recognition that the recovery of infrastructure can be affected by the interdependencies that exist between different systems. A fundamental characteristic of these interdependencies is that failure of one infrastructure can result in the failure of other interdependent infrastructures, leading to a cascade of failures. Through an exploratory study and a case study approach, this research provides an understanding on elements of infrastructures interdependencies that have the potential to

Jones, Jacqueline. "Post-Katrina Student Resilience: Perspectives of Nunez Community College Students." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2010. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/1137.

Abstract:

This study examines the phenomenon of student resiliency as it relates to Nunez Community College students who returned to attend school in the community of St. Bernard Parish following Hurricane Katrina. Nunez Community College is located in Chalmette, Louisiana, fifteen miles east of the City of New Orleans. The community is adjacent to the Lower Ninth Ward. This study seeks to answer the questions of why the students returned to a disaster-stricken area to continue their studies and how the students coped in the aftermath. There is a significant gap in the literature on post-disaster resili

Abstract:

The emergence of resilience in the peacebuilding field shows an important change of paradigm and turn to the local context. So far few ethnographic research has been done to understand how resilience works locally and what are the mechanisms helping individuals to cope and recover from a crisis. This study intends to fill this gap through an ethnographic study of local mechanisms, structures, and understandings of resilience, gathering insights on the perspectives and experiences of women in a conflict-sensitive and post-natural disaster context. It relies on an abductive and inductive methodo

Abstract:

This thesis examines how place-based community organisations can play an effective role in the operationalisation of community disaster resilience. This study has explored the roles delivered by two place-based community organisations during the Brisbane 2011 flood, providing important new knowledge on how their roles were delivered, identifying the influence of the characteristics of community disaster resilience and key elements of social capital, as well as examining learnings from international models of community led responses. The framework developed through this research provides a prac

Abstract:

The Canterbury region of New Zealand experienced four earthquakes greater than MW 6.0 between September 2010 and December 2011. This study employs system dynamics as well as hazard, recovery and organisational literature and brings together data collected via surveys, case studies and interviews with organisations affected by the earthquakes. This is to show how systemic interactions and interdependencies within and between industry and geographic sectors affect their recovery post-disaster. The industry sectors in the study are: construction for its role in the rebuild, information and commun

Abstract:

This study explores the resilience and rapid recovery of Home-based Enterprises (HBEs) in a postearthquake situation. The study focuses on social assets, human capital and capabilities at both household and neighbourhood level. Despite extensive literature on post-disaster management and HBEs, this study is unique in examining the recovery of HBEs in a post-disaster situation. Based on the case of the 2006 post-earthquake situation in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, particularly in the Kasongan ceramic area, this research is designed to investigate how HBE households coped in the recovery situation in

Abstract:

Despite shifts toward a more collaborative approach to emergency management, little scholarly attention has focused on the roles of local public organizations and nonprofits that do not have explicit emergency management missions in disaster response. Scholars and government officials call for identifying key local actors and developing a more collaborative emergency preparedness approaches prior to disaster situations. In practice, emergency officials seldom recognize post-disaster efforts of these local actors. Efforts to anticipate the potential decisions and actions of organizations that d
