Coping with an airport disaster is difficult. It is enough to have once been the witness of such an event to understand the enormity of the problem. Instantaneously, the routine atmosphere becomes a nightmare. There are smoke, flames, vehicles, useful people and useless people and above all, the dead, the injured, and the uninjured survivors, some of whom are running about.An airport disaster plan should be carefully set up and applied as strictly as possible. Many features exist in our favor: (a) we know the place; (b) we can roughly evaluate in advance the magnitude of the problem as far as the number of victims is concerned, thanks to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) studies; (c) we can keep in mind the classification of the injured and the medical policy with which now all seem to agree, that is to give on-site immediate care and control evacuation; and (d) we can utilize the medical resources of the surrounding community in a co-ordinated way. This paper summarizes the basic principles for disaster control.

The Difference

Recently, national level disaster management legislation systems have been established in Myanmar, and preparation of disaster management plans at the township level has also been encouraged. This study aims to explain these disaster management plans in Myanmar through content analysis and comparison with the Japanese Municipality Disaster Management Plan. The classification of activities by 45 categories revealed the prioritized activities in the disaster management plan for each township. Furthermore, the comparison identified differences between the disaster management plans of the two countries, of which some are explained by the difference in situations in Myanmar and Japan, but the others indicate activities missed in the township disaster management plans in Myanmar.

Bojonegoro Regency is one of regency in East Java which affected by drought. Local Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) Bojonegoro reported 17 districts which most affected by drought in the south of Bojonegoro Regency, such as Kedewan, Sugihwaras, Kedungadem, Sukosewu, Tambakrejo, Balen, Kasiman, Ngasem, Baureno, Trucuk, Kepohbaru, Dander, Ngraho, Bubuan, Malo, Tambakrejo, and Margomulyo. This study aims to determine the region sensitivity patterns in Bojonegoro Regency in connection with drought disaster which is reviewed accordingly of physic aspect and social aspect. A physic parameter such as precipitation, the average of total precipitation during 30 years (1986-2015), type of soil for identification texture and depth of soil, and slope. While social parameter is the total population for identification of the population’s water needs. The method of this study is an overlay and scoring method. The classification of region sensitivity is low, medium, high and very high. The low classification which spread in Gayam District. The medium classification which spread in Kedawen, Kasian, Malo, Padangan Purwosari, Temayang, and Sukosewu District. The high classification which spread in Tambakrejo, Kapas, Balen, Kanor, Sumberejo, Kedungadem, and Gondang District. The very high classification which spread in Margomulyo, Ngrahu, Dander, Bojonegoro, Trucuk, Baureno, Kepohbaru, Kedungadem, Gondang and Sekar District.

Damage Prevention

The occurrence of weather phenomena associated with extreme precipitation, temperatures and winds are not unusual in the history of meteorology in Hungary. However, in view of the characteristics of damages, it can be ascertained that they are usually witnessed at local (settlement) level; they damage the natural and built environment, jeopardise the safety of people and their financial resources.  This greatly burdens the human resources of forces designated to respond to these anomalies, also their deployments, logistics and  the management system of their equipment. The current Disaster Management Act created a resolution to this tension between  damage prevention, response and rescue by declaring the possibilities of involving the voluntarism of citizens in organised and  regulated frameworks. It means: in order to increase the country’s safety, central, territorial, later district and settlement-level  voluntary rescue organisations and teams may be established. These units, considering their capabilities, are able to effectively and  efficiently manage the impacts of anomalies due to the weather. In this publication, the author attempts to present Hungary’s  vulnerability due to weather extremities with the help of the disaster management classification of settlements, to analyse the  deployment possibilities of voluntary rescue organisations and rescue teams, taking into account their capabilities established in the  framework of the national classification system.

We have investigated the spectrograms (dispersion: 8Å/mm) in the photographic infrared region fromλ7500 toλ9000 of some carbon stars obtained by the coudé spectrograph of the 74-inch reflector attached to the Okayama Astrophysical Observatory. The names of the stars investigated are listed in Table 1.
