Then, the reliability of UAV connections and the accuracy of exchanged information are critical parameters. In this paper, we propose networking and …
Further, we also classified the papers based on disaster type into three categories: "Single disasters," "Multiple disasters," and "Not applicable." Papers that focus on one disaster type in their study are classified under single disasters and coded individually by their names (e.g., flood, wildfire, earthquake).
Disasters hurt the poor and vulnerable the most. More than one-third of the world's poor live in multi-hazard zones, and low-income countries account for more than 70 percent of the world's disaster "hotspots." Mainstreaming disaster risk management into development planning can help lower the impact of disasters on property and lives.
Introduction. The EMS systems are in the frontline between the health systems and people in disasters and life-threatening situations. In many countries, EMS is a "gateway" to access specialized care and treatments.[1,2,3] Moreover, the WHO considers it as a critical part of an effective and efficient health-care system.[] Disasters take place everywhere in the …

The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (SFDRR) highlights the importance of scientific research, supporting the 'availability and application of science and technology to decision making' in disaster risk reduction (DRR). Science and technology can play a crucial role in the world's ability to reduce casualties, physical damage, …
FEMA had management problems in the 1980s but since that time has become much more efficient and responsive to the needs of disaster victims. One improvement made in 1992 was the development of the Federal Response Plan, in which the American Red Cross joined resources with the 26 federal agencies under FEMA.
This study is part of a two-phase project that aims to advance performance measurement for public health emergency preparedness (Additional file 1) [].The overall project approach is an exploratory, sequential, mixed methods model to inform the development of indicators for PHEP (Additional file 2).The two-phase project is based in Canada and this …
The simulation exercise (SimEx) simulates an emergency in which an elaboration or description of the response is applied. The purpose of these exercises is to validate and improve plans, procedures, and systems for responding to all hazards. The purpose of this study was to review disaster preparation exercises conducted by various national, non-government, …
The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review of articles that cover aspects of disaster mental health preparedness. This assessment was done by a thorough review and summary of the available studies which provided a considerable background and amplified the gaps in knowledge about community mental health preparedness.
This chapter and the preceding one use the conceptual model presented in Chapter 1 (see Figure 1.1) as a guide to understanding societal response to hazards and disasters.As specified in that model, Chapter 3 discusses three …
Disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability. We must acknowledge the human-made components of both vulnerability and hazard and emphasize human agency in …
Introduction. In recent century due to human alteration of nature, people around the world have become more and more vulnerable to numerous types of hazards and disasters.[] Disasters can occur anywhere and at any time and overwhelms the capability of existing resources to cope with.[2,3] In the last decade (2006–2015), 6270 disasters have been …
In this article, we review the literature from 2012 to 2017 on disaster resilience and related concepts. The significant growth in the disaster resilience literature in the preceding years, which is illustrated by Figure 1 has created a rapidly evolving research context. By surveying progress in the preceding half decade, we aim to synthesize ...
COP26 focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which are the major source of climate change. Natural and man-made disasters have occurred in recent years, resulting in human deaths and environmental degradation. To mitigate the harm caused by these catastrophes, governments and their administration need to locate and support victims and …
Society and the environment are severely impacted by catastrophic events, specifically floods. Inadequate emergency preparedness and response are frequently the result of the absence of a comprehensive plan for flood management. This article proposes a novel flood disaster management (FDM) system using the full lifecycle disaster event model …
Resilience has become a cornerstone for risk management and disaster reduction. However, it has evolved extensively both etymologically and conceptually in time and across scientific disciplines. The concept has been (re)shaped by the evolution of research and practice efforts. Considered the opposite of vulnerability for a long time, resilience was first …
1. Introduction. Despite the rising number of catastrophic events occurring in recent years, disaster management (DM) has received little attention from the interdisciplinary accounting community (Lai et al., 2014; Sargiacomo et al., 2014; Walker, 2014; Sciulli, 2018; Perkiss and Moerman, 2020; Sargiacomo and Walker, 2020).A key aspect of DM theory and practices is …
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) (2015–2030) highlighted that effective disaster response necessitates proper disaster preparedness. Furthermore, the construct of "Build-Back-Better" is significant in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction [ [23], [24], [25] ].
Despite advancements, Smart Cities encounter hazards. Smart Cities' higher reliance on interconnected systems and networks makes them susceptible to risks beyond conventional ones, leading to cascading effects.
