Abstract:

Abstract: Emergency and disaster are on the rise in the world. One of the most important components of disaster risk management is the early warning system. Studies have shown divergent models of warning systems with different structures. However, since no systematic review of early warning systems in disasters has been conducted so far, a systematic review of the models, components, and structures of these systems is essential. This protocol is a systematic review study, which aims to evaluate the existing warning systems and their structure. An Early Warning System (EWS) represents the set o

Abstract:

The sudden onsets of hazards produce panic and stressful environments for individuals and the masses. They affect people's capacity to restore and maintain everyday functioning. They may experience severe physical and psychological injuries, property destruction, loss of livelihood, displacement and social problems during the disaster. However, the magnitude of disaster impact depends on the people's exposure, vulnerability type and population demography. These lethal situations, triggered by natural or man-made causes, need a multi-sectoral response to reduce the impact. Therefore, the narrat

Abstract. Landslides are one of the most widespread and commonly occurring natural hazards. In regions of high vulnerability, these complex hazards can cause significant negative social and economic impacts. Considering the worldwide susceptibility to landslides, it is necessary to establish a standard for early warning systems specific to landslide disaster risk reduction. This standard would provide guidance in conducting landslide detection, prediction, interpretation, and response. This paper proposes a new standard consisting of seven sub-systems for landslide early warning. These include

Abstract:

Nature has the character of a special balance in which all living beings live together in harmony with their environment. But whenever this balance is disturbed, we see the cataclysmic form of nature wreaking havoc on this world. Planet Earth has undergone many changes over these centuries. These changes are mainly due to natural disasters that happen over time. When we talk about natural disasters, pollution, ozone depletion and global warming are the most common scenarios we have experienced. The increasing industrialization and exploitation of natural resources have changed the echo system

Abstract:

Enhancing disaster response, defense, and adaptation capabilities is an important way to reduce disaster risks and promote regional and urban sustainable development. However, the frequent occurrence of natural disasters and rapid urbanization in China have led to the arduous and urgent task of urban disaster prevention and mitigation. Based on the Baseline Resilience Indicators for Communities (BRIC), this study establishes an evaluation index system for assessing urban disaster resilience in Hebei Province, encompassing four key aspects: economic, social, environmental, and infrastructural r

Abstract:

Urban communities in the United States are increasingly threatened by the intersecting impacts of climate change, socio-economic disparities, and aging infrastructure, resulting in heightened risks from both natural and human-induced disasters, particularly for historically marginalized and underserved populations. This review critically examines the evolving role of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial analysis in enhancing urban resilience and improving disaster response. Drawing on current literature, case studies, and emerging applications, the paper explores how spatial techno

Abstract:

Bushfires are an integral part of the forest regeneration cycle in Australia. However, from the perspective of a natural disaster, the impact of bushfires on human settlements and the environment is massive. In Australia, bushfires are the most disastrous natural hazards. According to the records of the Parliament of Australia, the recent catastrophic bushfires in NSW and Victoria burnt out over 10 million hectares of land, a figure more significant than any previous bushfire damage on record. After the deadly 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, which killed 173 people in Victoria, public attention

Abstract:

Intensive efforts for mitigating and reducing the risk of landslides in Indonesia have been conducted since more than 30 years ago. But still, substantial socio-economical losses continuously occur as the results of landslide disasters. Admittedly, the natural conditions plays important role in controlling the susceptibility and triggering the occurrence of landslides. Yet, the human interfere and landuse changing crucially contribute in the triggering process of landslides. Indeed, the increase in societal impacts due to the landslide disasters also strongly related to the landuse changing, d

Abstract. Landslides are socio-natural hazards. In Colombia, for example, these are the most frequent hazards. The interplay of climate change and the mostly informal growth of cities in landslide-prone areas increases the associated risks. Landslide early warning systems (LEWSs) are essential for disaster risk reduction, but the monitoring component is often based on expensive sensor systems. This study presents a data-driven approach to localize landslide-prone areas suitable for low-cost and easy-to-use LEWS instrumentation, as well as to estimate the associated costs.

Abstract:

Measuring the probability of flood risk is a key issue in the economics of natural disasters. This discipline studies actual and potential effects of natural disasters on the functioning of economic systems. In traditional economic understanding, it is assumed that both the decision making processes and market processes operate within a certain level of access to information. It is also assumed that the effects of certain phenomena are predictable. However, a natural disaster is difficult to predict. It is hard to predict the time of its occurrence, its impact, direct exposure to its effects a

This study combines the spatial data from satellite imagery with the temporal learning capabilities of convolutional long short-term memory (ConvLSTM) networks to improve both prediction accuracy and processing efficiency. By utilizing diverse spectral bands and resolutions, the model captures a wide range of environmental features. Preprocessing steps, such as normalization and noise reduction, are applied to refine the input data and enhance the performance of the ConvLSTM network. The architecture is carefully structured to balance spatial and temporal dependencies, ensuring the effective i

Purpose Systemic risks originate in tightly coupled systems. They are characterised by complexity, transboundary cascading effects, non-linear stochastic developments, tipping points, and lag in perception and regulation. Disasters need to be analysed in the context of vulnerabilities of infrastructure, industrial activities, structural developments and behavioural patterns which amplify or attenuate the impact of hazards. In particular, disasters are triggered by chains of events that often amplify and also multiply damages. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach

To address such issues automatic classification systems have been developed using supervised modeling approaches, thanks to the earlier efforts on creating labeled datasets. However, exis
