Questo saggio introduce il servizio dedicato alla figura professionale dell'architetta pakistana Yasmeen Lari. A partire dalla sua formazione e interpolando fra loro i contesti geografici e socioeconomici nei quali Lari ha operato, l'articolo restituisce sinteticamente la sua traiettoria professionale: dai grandi complessi residenziali e pubblici alle case unifamiliari, dall'attività di studio e recupero del patrimonio architettonico e urbano del suo paese ai contributi ‘sul campo' durante i disastri naturali subiti dalle popolazioni più disagiate. È una maturazione non solo professionale, ma anche umana, che ne ha distinto il pensiero e l'opera.

Full textAbstract:
Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) è uno dei più promettenti biomarcatori utilizzati nella diagnosi di “Acute Kidney Injury” (AKI), dal momento che il suo incremento è un buon predittore a breve termine dello sviluppo di insufficienza renale acuta in notevole anticipo rispetto all'incremento dei valori della creatinia sierica. Riportiamo la nostra esperienza di un caso di Crush Syndrome di due pazienti vittime dell'alluvione che ha coinvolto Messina. Lo sviluppo di AKI in seguito a Crush Syndrome è la seconda causa più comune di morte in seguito a terremoti o altri disastri naturali ma allo stesso tempo è una complicanza disastro-correlata che può essere reversibile in particolar modo in caso di diagnosi precoce e di altrettanto precoce trattamento. In questo caso, l'NGAL ci ha permesso di fare una diagnosi precoce di AKI preannunciando le alterazioni dei classici marker come la creatinina, inoltre abbiamo notato la correlazione diretta tra i valori di NGAL, l'evoluzione del danno renale e la prognosi per le due pazienti.

Full textAbstract:
L'autore richiama l'attenzione sulle questioni ambientali del diritto europeo e sull'importanza della Sociologia del diritto. Le politiche ambientali della Comunità Europea sono attuate negli Stati membri, ma l'attuazione degli obiettivi ambientali e le corrispondenti misure amministrative implicano difficili questioni sociali. Non c'è dubbio, infatti, che le questioni ambientali siano al centro dell'attuale dibattito pubblico, attorno al quale si organizzano anche le strategie e le pratiche nazionali e sovranazionali. Accanto a una ricostruzione storica e istituzionale, la trattazione analizza specificamente gli aspetti sociologici del "danno ambientale". In questa prospettiva, l'autore ha tenuto conto del fatto che i disastri sono sempre più spesso considerati come parzialmente causati dall'uomo piuttosto che come eventi puramente naturali.

Full textAbstract:
Quando un paziente entra in uno studio di psicoterapia porta con sé la propria esperienza traumatica, e alcuni aspetti entrano inevitabilmente in risonanza con l'esperienza traumatica del terapeuta. La situazione diventa ancora più difficile per il terapeuta se l'evento traumatico è globale e condiviso da entrambi, come in situazioni di guerra, disastri politici o naturali. In questo caso è molto importante comprendere i limiti del terapeuta. Il tentativo del terapeuta di evitare la ri-traumatizzazione porta alla repressione di una parte della sua personalità e, di con-seguenza, a una diminuzione della sua presenza nel contatto con il paziente, alimentando i campi traumatici e rafforzando la disconnessione. Per poter stare con l'altro, è necessario mantenere il proprio equilibrio e continuare a trova-re risorse per lavorare nel campo traumatico.

Full textAbstract:
La pandemia ha messo in luce le fragilità della città compatta - da tempo assunta a modello di riferimento per la qualità dei suoi spazi, la sua efficienza, la vitalità e il benessere degli abitanti - specie nei tessuti edilizi più densi, poiché generalmente sprovvisti di una rete di spazi aperti di prossimità. Ma ci ha anche fatto rivolgere l'attenzione verso uno degli elementi morfologici predominanti: l'isolato e la sua corte. Seppur sottostimato in termini spaziali, sociali e ambientali, l'invaso cortilizio costituisce un potenziale prezioso per il miglioramento della resilienza urbana. Lo studio indaga tale potenziale nelle recenti esperienze europee di rigenerazione, facendo emergere cinque temi di progetto essenziali per valorizzare il tessuto connettivo semiprivato e incrementare la resilienza della città compatta, anche in relazione ai disastri naturali, crisi sanitarie incluse.

RiassuntoScopo- Presentare una esaustivareviewdegli studi riguardanti l'epidemiologia del DPTS condotti nella popolazione generale, tra i soggetti a rischio, e, infine, tra gruppi clinicamente selezionati.Disegno- AttraversoExcepta Medica PsychiatryCD-ROM 1980-1993 (ottobre), utilizzando come parola chiave «Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder», sono stati identificati 1.057 articoli pubblicati nel periodo considerate Sono stati anche consultati altridata basedella letteratura medica (MEDLINE CD-ROM 1988-1993); è stata quindi operata una ricerca manuale su tutti i numeri delJournal of Traumatic Stress. Risultati- In totale, 135 lavori che hanno soddisfatto i criteri di inclusione prescelti sono stati inclusi nella review. I due terzi (n = 86, 64%) di queste ricerche sono state condotte negli USA. Solo 8 (6%) sono le indagini effettivamente realizzate nei paesi del Terzo Mondo. L'ampiezza del campione varia da un minimo di 11 soggetti, numero riscontrato in due studi, sino ad un massimo di 22.436, per un campione medio di 500 e mediano di 108. Per quanto attiene ai metodi di valutazione, in un terzo degli studi (n = 45, 33%), i ricercatori hanno impiegato un questionario (auto- o etero- somministrato). In un altro terzo delle ricerche elencate (n = 44, 33%) e stata somministrata un'intervista strutturata (la DIS, la SCID, o la SADS), mentre nei rimanenti studi la valutazione diagnostica si è basata o su una procedura clinica non strutturata, o sulla somministrazione di altri strumenti specifici dai quali è possibile inferire una diagnosi di DPTS (M-PTSD, IES, SCL-90-R,o pochi altri). In 77 studi (57%) i ricercatori hanno basato la loro valutazione sui criteri diagnostici propri del DSM-III, mentre in altri 55 (41%) su quelli del DSM-III-R. La prevalenza del DPTS e analizzata quindi separatamente per le diverse popolazioni studiate.Conclusioni- Nell'arco di soli 13 anni, a partire cioe dalla definizione di criteri diagnostici operazionali ben definiti per il DPTS, sono stati condotti numerosi studi volti ad indagare la prevalenza, i fattori di rischio, la storia naturale, il decorso e l' esito di questo disturbo tra campioni diversi di popolazioni a rischio; inoltre, anche il livello qualitativo di queste ricerche, per quanto attiene alia sofisticazione metodologica, si è accresciuto sensibilmente in un tempo tutto sommato breve. Molte aree, pero', restano tuttora inesplorate, ed inoltre appare imperativo avviare ricerche estensive tra le popolazioni dei paesi in via di sviluppo, maggiormente esposte a disastri naturali o provocati dall'uomo.

Full textAbstract:
Both natural and non-natural disasters greatly affect human life, including business actors. The government is urgently required to solve the emerging problems caused by the disaster. This study aims to determine collaborative governance in handling natural and non-natural disasters that affect the business actors in Palu City. This study used a quantitative approach with a series of statistical tests. The sample of this study consisted of 207 respondents who are government and the business actors in Palu City affected by natural and non-natural disasters. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and documentation. Then, the data were analyzed with statistical testing including descriptive statistics and a T-Test (comparative test). The results showed a significant difference between collaborative governance during natural and non-natural disasters. Further, the differences in collaborative governance can be seen in the leadership and initial condition variables. When a natural disaster occurs, leadership is urgently required, while a non-natural disaster caused by the COVID-19 is highly determined by the initial conditions. It means that government decision-making to deal with non-natural disasters from the start is urgently required. The evidence can be seen from some countries and regions with slow response to the COVID-19 resulting in difficulty in controlling the spread of the virus.

Full textAbstract:
A disaster is a natural or manmade hazard resulting in an event of substantial extent causing significant physical damage or destruction, loss of life or drastic change to the environment. Due to diverse geographical coverage, Nepal is prone to various geological and hydro-meteorological hazards. This paper tries to show the types of disaster, losses and damages induced by disaster and analyze the trend and geographical distribution of disaster in Nepal. This study is based on the secondary data sources. Disaste r events data were collected from NSET and other government research papers, library etc. 26,665 events were reported during a 45 year and 43,868 people were died, 2,828 people were missing by disaster. Fire, flood landslide, accident and thunderstorms are major disasters in terms of occurrences and Earthquake, flood, and landslide are the major disasters in terms of damages and losses. The trend of disaster events is gradually increasing from the 1971 to 2000 but after 2000 the trend of disaster is drastically increasing to 2016. Annually 593 disaster events have occurred in Nepal. The data of impacts caused by the disasters also reveal that the estimated annual economic loss is increasing with the increasing frequency of disasters. The number of natural disasters as well as the number of corresponding casualties, injured and affected people, and economic loss is steadily on the rise. Tarai and Hilly districts are highly vulnerable than Mountain districts and Hill and Tarai region are most affected than Mountain region due different disaster in Nepal. The Tarai and some central hill districts are most vulnerable in terms of disasters occurrences. Among the seven provinces, province no 3 recorded the highest number of human deaths and disasters occurrences.

The purpose of this study is to review the current researches and to suggest the future directions of using IoT in disaster management. Natural hazards such as earthquake, floods, and landslides can be proved to be great harm to human being.
The internet of things (IOT) plays a vital role in disaster management and preparation. The future directions of IoT utilization in managing natural disasters can be suggested as follows. First, it is necessary to use IoT to predict the occurrence of disasters and predict the extent of damage by embedding technology into objects that can cause natural disasters. Second, although the IoT itself has high utility, it is necessary to increase the efficiency of disaster management connecting with artificial intelligence (AI), big data analysis, cloud computing, and drones. Third, IoT, AI, robots, drones, and big data must be connected and utilized in proper manner. Fourth, for disaster management based on advanced technologies including IoT, it is urgently required to train experts who can use it at all times.

AbstractDisaster preparedness is an important but often a neglected part in the management of chronic disorders. India is facing an epidemic of diabetes and the patients with diabetes are also exposed to the risk of natural disaster along with other members of the society. India faced many disasters in the past including the Bhopal gas leak, Gujarat earthquake and Andaman tsunami. These disasters exposed the lacunae in the disaster preparedness and lead to devastating health consequences. Previous research focused more on the immediate, traumatic aspects of the disasters and neglected the impact on chronic disorders. The experience of managing diabetes after Hurricane Katrina gave important insights into the short and long term consequences of a disaster. Our article provides information about the impact of disasters on diabetes, difficulties in the management and suggested measures at various levels to improve the disaster preparedness.

AbstractExposure to multiple natural hazard-related disasters will become more common due to climate change. This article reports on the development and validation of a cumulative measure of exposure to natural hazard-related disasters (2013–2017) at the area level, and an individual-level measure of disaster impact using data from the Longitudinal Cohort Study on the Filipino Child and linked data from the International Disaster Database (EM-DAT). Caregiver reports of cumulative exposure to disasters had statistically significant associations with disasters reported by neighborhood officials and with disasters in EM-DAT. Using ecometric techniques we generated a reliable community average measure of exposure to natural hazard-related disasters. Based on neighbor but not individual self-reports this exogenous measure of disaster exposure in the local area was more strongly related to EM-DAT and official neighborhood reports than individual reports. To capture household variation we developed an individual-level measure of disaster impacts. Disaster impact was associated with measures of exposure (individual and community average), community ratings by officials, and EM-DAT but only moderately associated with the community average exposure. Both the community average and disaster impacts measures were associated with household income and the adequacy of income in households.

Full textAbstract:
The risk of marine disasters based on flooding is one of the most significant natural disasters in coastal zones. It can be said that flooding in coastal zones has typical sea–land characteristics. Yet, relatively little research has been done in this area. Thus, by using the characteristics of marine disaster risk based on flooding in Qingdao and combining marine science and land science methods, this paper constructs a targeted indicator system for the flooding risk from marine disasters from the perspectives of the disaster natural chain and flooding process. According to the results, the Integrated Risk Index of marine disasters based on flooding in Qingdao is 0.3694, which represents a medium risk level for natural disasters in China’s major coastal areas. The first- and third-level indicators with large contribution rates are almost all natural indicators. This indicates that the natural disaster process and disaster chain greatly affect the flooding disaster risk in Qingdao. However, although natural factors play large roles in the risk of disaster, preventive methods implemented by humans can still have a positive effect on disaster reduction. Therefore, human society should still proceed with understanding disasters from natural processes, change their passive response to active adaptation, and actively strengthen preventive measures to alleviate the adverse impacts of increasingly serious natural disasters.

Geographically, Indonesia is located on disaster prone area. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, landslides, volcanic eruptions and non-natural disaster such as Covid-19 Pandemic often occur in various places in Indonesia including in Pidie Jaya, Aceh Province. These disasters have a big influence on many aspects of the socio-economic life of the affected communities. Managing disaster properly will reduce the risk so that it will provide security and resilience community that can anticipate all the impacts of disasters. Collaboration in the form of the Pentahelix Synergy concept involving elements of the Government, Society, Academics, and the Business Industries is one of the important aspect in disaster management. Furthemore, the mass media and the private sector will provide great energy to solve the problem during disaster. This paper discuss about the synergy of Pentahelix in dealing with natural and non-natural disasters in Pidie Jaya Regency, Aceh Province. The results will be useful as lesson learned to support National Security program in Indonesia.

The Indonesian government has made efforts to restore the structure and development of school responses, including increasing knowledge, skills, and disaster management operating systems in schools. School leaders and teachers are expected to balance the need for standard operating procedures with the ability of organizational structures to respond to specific problems caused by disasters. Teacher enhancement is expected to provide a more active role for students and overcome their stress in post-disaster situations. This study aimed to examine the perspective of high school teachers on knowledge of natural disasters and natural disaster mitigation. A descriptive statistical approach is used to describe and explain teacher knowledge and mitigate natural disasters. Explaining how much influence or relationship between teachers' knowledge on disaster mitigation is done. The sample in this study was high school teachers in Aceh province, with 389 teachers. The research data collection used an instrument in the form of a questionnaire. The results showed that the perspective of high school teachers regarding knowledge of natural disasters was in the high category on average; the average teacher knew general knowledge of natural disasters, signs of catastrophe, classification of natural disasters, and causes of natural disasters. Not much different from the results of the teacher's perspective regarding natural disaster mitigation in the very high category, planning in the mitigation process, policies, operational disaster procedures, signs of disaster evacuation have been recognized by SMA teachers in Aceh province. The level of knowledge of high school teachers with mitigation has a significant relationship, so the higher the knowledge of high school teachers about natural disasters, the more high-school teachers can mitigate against natural disasters.Keywords: Teacher's Perspective, Natural Disaster Knowledge, Natural Disaster Mitigation, Regression Analysis

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Over the past decades, the number of natural disasters has been growing around the world. In addition to damaging communities and infrastructures, unexpected disasters also affect service providers such as hospitals and health centers. Markedly, hospital safety from disasters is a challenge in all countries. With disaster damage to health systems resulting in human tragedy, huge economic losses, devastating blows to developmental goals, and shaken social confidence. Ensuring that hospitals and health facilities are safe and secure from disasters depend on implementing an appropriate method to mitigate adverse impacts on hospitals during incidents. Thus, disaster management becomes even more significant, as the health sector has been particularly vulnerable to damages.<br> So, it is crucial to develop appropriate mitigation and adoption method for healthcare facilities, to withstand the natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods. A comprehensive disaster plan is required to ensure a prompt disaster response and coordinated management of a multi causality incident. The aim of this research is to systemically and critically review the importance of hospitals in disaster events and this research attempts to reach a basic understanding to mitigate the risk of disasters in hospitals and improve the continuity of health services during or after disaster events. For this study, secondary information was retrieved from the literature review and document review on sudden-onset natural disasters in different parts of the world was collected. This study found some challenges and deliverables for disaster managers that could mitigate the risk of a natural disaster’s impact on a hospital. Accordingly, this research will evaluate the importance of disaster management for hospitals and the challenges that need to be considered during the disaster response.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Recent trends of disaster present that disasters are more uncertain and complex with unpredictable cascading effects owing to global environmental and climate change. As one of the significant phenomena, natural hazards triggering technological accidents, so-called Natech, which cause acute and prolonged terrifying consequences, have also been increased. Considering low probability but high consequences, Natech accidents often exceed the capacity of disaster preparedness and response of local government and professional responders. As a result, the need to better manage Natech risks has become a challenge in disaster risk management among all stakeholders, including government, disaster and safety experts, industry, and citizens. Although there have been numerous efforts undertaken by international organizations and individual countries to reduce Natech risks, there are still not sufficient reflections to reduce the risks of natural hazard triggering technological disasters in South Korea. Thus, this study highlights lessons from Natech risk reduction practices undertaken by individual countries and recent minor Natech cases to fullfill gaps in effective risk management considering for cascading effects.

Full textAbstract:
Indonesia has fertile soil, natural resources and abundant marine resources. However, Indonesia is also not immune to the risk of natural disasters which are a series of events that disturb and threaten life safety and cause material and non-material losses. Indonesia's strategic geological location causes Indonesia to be frequently hit by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other natural disasters. From the data collected, natural disasters that occurred in Indonesia consisted of several categories, namely earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, landslides, tornados, and tsunamis. Many natural disasters in Indonesia have caused casualties, both fatalities and injuries, destroying the surrounding area and destroying infrastructure and causing property losses. The trend of increasing incidence of natural disasters needs to be further investigated to prevent the number of victims from increasing. This information can be obtained through a data mining approach given the large amount of data available. In relation to natural disaster data, clustering techniques in data mining are very useful for grouping natural disaster data based on the same characteristics so that the data can be adopted as a groundwork for predicting natural disaster events in the future. Thus, this research is supposed to group natural disaster data using clustering techniques using the k-means algorithm into several groups, in terms of natural disaster types, time of disaster, number of victims, and damage to various facilities as a result of natural disasters

One in every hundreds of deaths in Indonesia is caused by natural disasters. Data from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) shows that during 2020 there were 2,925 disaster events in Indonesia which resulted in 370 deaths, 39 missing and 536 injured. Disasters can certainly take many lives and can happen to children or adults. Moreover, children lack knowledge about disaster mitigation. Therefore, it is very important to foster “Disaster Mitigation Literacy” considering that Indonesia is a disaster-prone area. This research aims to design and develop a mobile application that focuses on increasing literacy and reducing the risk of natural disasters. This mobile application developer uses the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Develop, and Implement) model. In this application contains about handling disasters both before, during and after disasters.

Indonesia is one of the countries that has the intensity of frequent natural disasters. Almost all areas experienced these natural disasters. According to the records of the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) in 2017 alone, there were 884 natural disasters in Indonesia. Floods and landslides are the most common natural disasters compared to other disasters. One of the areas that are prone to disasters is Nagari Canduang Koto Laweh on the slopes of Mount Merapi, West Sumatra, the community is not yet aware of disasters, so assistance is needed for this community. Assistance is carried out with a mosque approach where the mosque is used as a centre for mitigation propaganda and KSB activities. The results of this assistance have given birth to a disaster preparedness village, where the community is starting to be disaster-savvy, disaster-responsive and resilient.

Sudden natural disasters have the characteristics of complexity, unpredictability and frequency. To better manage and analyze sudden natural disasters promptly with the help of historical natural disaster cases, this study adopts the method of fused case structure to calculate the similarity between sudden disaster cases. Based on the disaster information of historical natural disaster cases, this paper aims to perform similarity measures for sudden natural disaster cases that contain textual information, data information and geographic location information at the same time. Taking storm surge disasters as examples, we designed a hierarchical case structure of “vertex-edge-label” based on the characteristics of sudden natural disaster cases. Then, we calculated the case similarity based on three aspects of sudden natural disasters, which were “case scenario”, “disaster damage” and “case structure”. Finally, we aggregated multiple factors to obtain the similarity between storm surge cases and conducted experiments on the historical storm surge cases in China. The result verified the feasibility and effectiveness of the method and showed a higher accuracy of the established aggregated multifactor method compared with the benchmark method.

Natural disasters as natural phenomena are unavoidable in human’s life. The phenomena of natural disasters can be found in the Pangujanan text. The purpose of this study is to describe the types of natural disasters represented in the Pangujanan text and to reveal the signs or symbols of the disasters. Qualitative descriptive research method is used to reveal the types and signs of a natural disaster phenomenon. In interpreting the sign, semiotic theory is needed to present it systematically. The results of this study indicate that (1) the natural disasters depicted in the Pangujanan text are earthquakes, heavy rains, thunderbolt, hurricanes, and flash floods which are narrated based on Balinese local wisdom, (2) natural disasters in the Pangujanan text as signs have given a rise to some interpretations, namely (a) some natural disasters as results of the practice of reducing rain as narrated in the Pangujanan text, and in this case, disaster mitigation is needed, and (b) some natural disasters as forces of the practice of making rain narrated in the Pangujanan text. The conclusion that can be drawn from the results of this study is that in the past, knowledge about natural disaster phenomena was narrated in a text, and in this study, we look at natural disaster phenomena narrated through the Pangujanan text. The benefit that we can take from this study is as disaster knowledge contained in ancient manuscripts.

Abstract: Indonesia has been declared as one of the most disaster-prone countries according to the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction. Indonesia ranks 6th among countries prone to disasters. Indonesia is prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and others as well as non-natural disasters such as floods, infectious diseases, forest fires, and others, as well as social disasters in the form of social conflicts in various regions. One of the concepts of disaster management is disaster risk management, At this stage, efforts should be made if a catastrophic event occurs, damage and losses with a large enough scale of impact can be avoided and minimized by mitigating education to the community. Because the location of this village is on the seashore and has a watershed that could threaten the safety of the population, therefore a health prevention socialization will be carried out if at any time an unwanted natural disaster occurs. Keywords: natural disasters, Barru Districts, disaster risk, countermeasures.

AbstractIn recent years, effective models of disaster medicine curricula for medical schools have been established. However, only a small percentage of medical schools worldwide have considered at least basic disaster medicine teaching in their study program. In Italy, disaster medicine has not yet been included in the medical school curriculum. Perceiving the lack of a specific course on disaster medicine, the Segretariato Italiano Studenti in Medicina (SISM) contacted the Centro di Ricerca Interdipartimentale in Medicina di Emergenza e dei Disastri ed Informatica applicata alla didattica e alla pratica Medica (CRIMEDIM) with a proposal for a nationwide program in this field. Seven modules (introduction to disaster medicine, prehospital disaster management, definition of triage, characteristics of hospital disaster plans, treatment of the health consequences of different disasters, psychosocial care, and presentation of past disasters) were developed using an e-learning platform and a 12-hour classroom session which involved problem-based learning (PBL) activities, table-top exercises, and a computerized simulation (Table 1). The modules were designed as a framework for a disaster medicine curriculum for undergraduates and covered the three main disciplines (clinical and psychosocial, public health, and emergency and risk management) of the core of “Disaster Health” according to the World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WADEM) international guidelines for disaster medicine education. From January 2011 through May 2013, 21 editions of the course were delivered to 21 different medical schools, and 524 students attended the course. The blended approach and the use of simulation tools were appreciated by all participants and successfully increased participants’ knowledge of disaster medicine and basic competencies in performing mass-casualty triage. This manuscript reports on the designing process and the initial outcomes with respect to learners' achievements and satisfaction of a 1-month educational course on the fundamentals of disaster medicine. This experience might represent a valid and innovative solution for a disaster medicine curriculum for medical students that is easily delivered by medical schools.Table 1List of Modules and TopicsModuleTopics1.

Full textAbstract:
A disaster is an event that threatens and disrupts people's lives and livelihoods which are caused, both by natural and / or non-natural factors as well as human factors, resulting in human casualties, environmental damage, property loss and psychological impacts. According to Law Number 24 of 2007 concerning Disaster Management, disasters are classified into three parts; natural disasters, non-natural disasters and social disasters. The impact of disasters, especially natural disasters, varies from the moment of occurrence to post-disaster. Referring to the series of earthquake events in Lombok on 29 July 2018 (M6.4), 5 August 2018 (M7.0) and 19 August 2018 (M6.9), until 1 September 2018 has claimed 564 victims and suffered losses with the total rough count reached IDR 12.15 trillion. The impact of the earthquake is a lesson for the government and related agencies, in this case the Mataram City BPBD to better prepare disaster management strategies in a mature and planned manner. This study aims to determine the disaster communication strategy of the Mataram City BPBD in building a disaster-aware Mataram community using qualitative methods. The results of the research also show, among others: (1) Determination of communicators / community leaders as a credible source; (2) Selection of messages that are easy to understand; (3) Selection of disaster reporting media; (4) Mapping communication barriers in building disaster-aware communities

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to contribute a deeper understanding of how natural disasters influence entrepreneurial intentionality as an important antecedent of entrepreneurial intention. It reviews the conceptual and operational backgrounds of natural disaster research and entrepreneurship theories and formulates a distinctive conceptual approach to entrepreneurial intentions in natural disaster settings. Design/methodology/approach An exhaustive review of research articles published in peer-reviewed entrepreneurship journals is provided and focuses on entrepreneurship, natural disasters, and entrepreneurial opportunities. Findings Six propositions about the influence of natural disasters on entrepreneurial intentions in ways that are distinct to the specific circumstances of post-disaster environments. Research limitations/implications The paper’s findings serve as a useful foundation for future research of post-disaster entrepreneurial behavior. The propositions highlight the relationship between opportunities, self-efficacy, feasibility, desirability, fear of failure, and resilience that complement macro-level research with micro-level antecedents. Implications entail new methodological avenues for future studies of humanitarian and post-disaster entrepreneurial activities. Practical implications This paper suggests ways in which public policy and educational, state and community programs can be designed and executed so that entrepreneurial intentions are developed and entrepreneurial action is not hindered. Moreover, it clarifies several ways to achieve more effective action (or inaction) to serve those affected by natural disasters and minimize disaffection. Originality/value The study illustrates that natural disasters can and do create opportunities for entrepreneurial behavior even as they generate powerful and sweeping negative effects on socioeconomic systems. Its unique approach explores individual-level variables concerning intent and motivation that drive entrepreneurial decisions in disaster contexts.

This article examines the relationships between disaster type and firms’ disaster responses. We draw on a unique dataset of 2,164 press releases related to the occurrence of 206 natural disasters (hurricanes, flooding, tornadoes, and wildfires) over a 10-year period (2005-2014) to analyze how firm responses are shaped by the type of disaster it faces. Firms play an increasingly important role in disaster response. We find that firms engage in more anticipatory responses when the type of disaster a firm faces exhibits even impact dispersion and high expected recurrence, and provides substantial warning. Our study draws a relationship between physical geography, disaster type, and more anticipatory firm responses which can improve how firms and communities respond to the risks posed by different types of natural disasters. The article concludes by outlining an agenda for future research on firm responses to natural disasters.

Full textAbstract:
Complex disasters may occur as a result of a natural disaster combined with an industrial or a technological disaster. These are also called “natural-hazard triggered technological (natech) disasters.” Currently, there is increasing awareness of the hazards of these natech disasters. Natural disasters could trigger a technological disaster including oil spills and the release of hazardous and flammable materials and toxic chemicals, causing cascading events. The impact of the damage on public health and safety could be catastrophic, as it may result in massive loss of life, environmental destruction, and asset and property loss. Moreover, it could cause business disruptions and affect a country’s reputation. This paper describes a case study on the application of disaster risk reduction and management for natech disasters in Cilegon, Indonesia. We introduce the analysis of risk assessment conducted in Cilegon, the preparedness of the Cilegon City government, a contingency plan that has been developed, and the state of disaster preparedness in industrial zones. Natural and technological disaster risks as well as several emergency preparedness efforts are discussed and multiple stakeholders are identified. The paper serves as a foundation for future research to address natech disasters.

Over a period of decades there are lot of frequent disruptions due to natural, man-made and technological disasters which are seriously effecting the society, environment and economy. Hence it is vital that an effective integrated disaster management must be defined by integrating various types of disasters for being equipped in real time to face disasters in an extremely short span of time. In this paper a framework for disaster management is defined based on cloud and internet of things. A disaster management use case is developed based on the defined framework by integrating natural and manmade disasters. Natural disaster events are integrated to derive the probable insurance claims based on historical data and for the insurance agencies to be equipped in the event of disaster. Manmade disaster events will alert the end users when disaster events are about to occur. Here heterogeneous devices and data are firmly integrated to monitor various disaster events at one stop.

This paper aims to discuss the impact of a disaster on the lives and livelihood and how it contributes to poverty. For this purpose, two major disasters in recent history were taken as reference. The common approach in defining and measuring poverty is the monetary approach; often disaster has seen only a matter of humanitarian importance. Nepal as a prone to different kinds of natural disasters has a significant impact on lives and livelihood as well. Despite this fact, poverty is narrowly defined. As there is a significant linkage between disaster risk and poverty, the poverty-related discussions must incorporate the impact and risk of disaster while formulating poverty reduction related policies.

There is increasing awareness in disaster research about the diverse ways in which disasters affect humanity. The impact of disaster stretches from individuals and households to nation-states. Most disaster discourses focus on the impact, mitigation, management, preparedness and response, but neglecting the issues surrounding the social and natural causes of disaster and their interrelationship. Using content analysis from previous studies, we review some of the discussions on disaster construction as a social or natural phenomenon. The review showed that issues about disaster construction largely centre on natural, social or human and technological factors. It is concluded that the issues triggering the construction of disasters are central to disaster preparedness and mitigation, as they lay the platform upon which decisions are made regarding which policy to put in place to prevent, mitigate or prepare for disasters.

Disasters are phenomenon that causes damage in properties and lives that limit individuals or societies’ abilities and well-being. Natural disasters such as landslides, tsunami, flood and typhoon happen almost every year. These natural disasters affect certain countries such as Japan, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. The volunteers are the one who manage the humanitarian aids to the victims. The needs of the volunteers that been identified need to be evaluated in order to help to expedite the disaster relief management process. This is because the important aspects that need to be evaluated are planning, operational management and disaster training. Meanwhile, disaster preparedness represent as systematic planning in response to the disaster situation that needs to be done to those involved in disaster relief i.e volunteers. The concern on this aspect will help volunteer to be more active, positive and confident, in both physically and mentally when providing helps. Therefore, this concept paper will discusses volunteers’ needs in various perspectives and opinions in order to help in increasing the preparedness in assisting natural disasters victims, as well as increase the effectiveness throughout the relief process.

Introduction:Japan experienced several major disasters in 2018.Aim:Evaluation of medical response was conducted and problems determined to solve for future response.Methods:An evaluation conducted on DMAT responding report of Northern Osaka Earthquake, West Japan Torrential Rain Disaster, Typhoon Jebi, and Hokkaido Iburi East Earthquake.Results:DMAT responded 58 teams for Osaka Northern Earthquake, 119 teams for West Japan Torrential Rain Disaster, 17 teams for Typhoon Jebi, 67 teams for Hokkaido Iburi East Earthquake. At the Osaka Northern Earthquake, by comparing the report of seismic diagnosis, results and, a magnitude of each region, hospital damage was evaluated. At the West Japan Torrential Rain Disaster, a flood hazard map was used to expect inundation at hospitals. At the Hokkaido Iburi East Earthquake, information of hospital generator was gathered and planned assistance for loss of power. Water supply cessation in the West Japan Torrential Rain Disaster and loss of power in the Hokkaido Iburi East Earthquake influenced hospital functionality. More precise preparation for hospital management in the event of a loss of power and water supply situation required in not only in local government but also each hospital. For the West Japan Torrential Rain Disaster, we experienced the same type of major disasters in the past, but could not manage accordingly. For the Hokkaido Iburi East Earthquake, we applied what was learned from the West Japan Torrential Rain Disaster.Discussion:Disaster medical operation was supposed to be managed with information from the Emergency Medical Information System (EMIS). However, 2018 disasters provided lessons that require a full understanding of disaster prior information and expected disaster damage information to manage disaster assistance. To accomplish effective disaster assistance, information must be gathered of supplies and assistance required by hospitals. An effective system to facilitate lessons learned needs to be developed

Damage caused by natural disasters produces the difference of damage size not only according to damage volume or size, but a national economic level. In addition, budgets and aids should be constantly acquired for disaster management since natural disasters sporadically or irregularly occur. This study proposed disaster management methods by countries considering natural disaster damage documents and economic indicators from 1900 to 2017 among 187 countries in the world. It developed a damage prediction formula considering damage documents of previous natural disasters, economic indicators by countries, and basic indicators as disaster management methods by countries. Independent variables of the damage prediction formula include GDP, population, and area. It applied multiple regression analysis and calculated average human losses due to death, human losses affected, and damage costs by countries. Regarding the adjusted R² of the natural disaster damage prediction formula, the human losses from deaths mean was 0.893, the human losses affected mean was 0.915, and the damage costs mean was 0.946, which had higher explanatory powers. Therefore, results from this study are considered to calculate quantitative damage sizes considering uncertain damage sizes of natural disasters, economic indicators by countries, and are used as indicators for disaster management.

ABSTRACTObjective: Although a goal of disaster preparedness is to protect vulnerable populations from hazards, little research has explored the types of risks that workers face in their encounters with natural disasters. This study examines how workers are fatally injured in severe natural events.Methods: A classification structure was created that identified the physical component of the disaster that led to the death and the pursuit of the worker as it relates to the disaster. Data on natural disasters from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries for the years 1992 through 2006 were analyzed.Results: A total of 307 natural disaster deaths to workers were identified in 1992–2006. Most fatal occupational injuries were related to wildfires (80 fatalities), hurricanes (72 fatalities), and floods (62 fatalities). Compared with fatal occupational injuries in general, natural disaster fatalities involved more workers who were white and more workers who were working for the government. Most wildfire fatalities stemmed directly from exposure to fire and gases and occurred to those engaged in firefighting, whereas hurricane fatalities tended to occur more independently of disaster-produced hazards and to workers engaged in cleanup and reconstruction. Those deaths related to the 2005 hurricanes occurred a median of 36.5 days after landfall of the associated storm. Nearly half of the flood deaths occurred to passengers in motor vehicles. Other disasters included tornadoes (33 fatalities), landslides (17), avalanches (16), ice storms (14), and blizzards (9).Conclusions: Despite an increasing social emphasis on disaster preparation and response, there has been little increase in expert knowledge about how people actually perish in these large-scale events. Using a 2-way classification structure, this study identifies areas of emphasis in preventing occupational deaths from various natural disasters.

As natural disasters cause significant damage, many countries have developed disaster mitigation plans to reduce losses. Because China has frequent natural disasters in its geographically diverse territory, over the past few decades, the Chinese government has promulgated regulations and developed plans to mitigate the loss of life and property in natural disasters. To analyze the natural disaster mitigation efficiency in 27 Chinese provinces, this article employed a modified Epsilon-Based Measure (EBM) Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model. It was found that while Sichuan, Guangdong, Hebei, Shandong, and Chongqing had good efficiencies, there were significant variances across the provinces, and, in general, significant improvements were needed. Previous natural disaster efficiency research has examined disaster management and performance evaluations, employed static DEA models, and tended to ignore the radial and non-radial characteristics. Therefore, this article is the first comprehensive examination of recent natural disaster mitigation efficiencies in Chinese provinces.

Purpose The objective of this research is to identify the effects of natural disasters on several variables. The impacts were analyzed both directly and indirectly. Design/methodology/approach Using Partial Least Squares, natural disaster, regional economic growth, poverty, unemployment, and human development index as the variables with their own indicators. Findings This study finds that the direct effects of natural disasters are a significant reduction in regional economic growth, an insignificant increase in poverty, and a significant increase in unemployment. Furthermore, natural disaster have varying results in indirect effects. Research limitations/implications The limitation of this research is the use of natural disasters which only involves three types of natural disasters, as well as thirty provinces in Indonesia. Originality/value This study uses regional economic growth, unemployment, and poverty variables as intervening variables to determine the effect of natural disasters on the human development index which there are still not many similar studies on the disaster economics approach.
