Principles of Disaster Management Lesson 14. Criteria for Assessing a Program

AbstractThis lesson examines mechanisms that can be used for the evaluation of a program or project. The principal concern raised is whether the project has met its stated goals and objectives and whether the project has resulted in producing benefits to the affected society. Short-term (immediate) and long-term (developmental) contributions are discussed. The importance of projects contributing to increasing the absorbing capacity of the affected community for the next event is stressed. Twelve problems commonly encountered in program execution are defined. Optimal management attempts to identify potential pitfalls in advance, designing and implementing mechanisms to avoid them, and to deal with them if they should become manifest. Simply meeting the goals and objectives of the sponsoring organization is inadequate, as all responses must be coordinated and approved by the national coordinating agency. Thus, not only is the effectiveness of the project in meeting the defined goals and objectives important, but the project must be assessed in terms of the overall impact of the project on the society. Reference is made to using the structure provided by the Health Disaster Management: Guidelines for Evaluation and Research in the Utstein Style as promulgated by the Task Force on Quality Control of the World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine and the Nordic Society of Disaster Medicine.

Disasters always have been a part of life, whether caused by unavoidable natural events or by avoidable, man-made events. Being rendered helpless by such events has caused fear and concern in all periods of history. To some extent, a disaster is expected, but there are varying degrees of uncertainty as to how and when it will occur. The occurrence of a disaster creates varying degrees of chaos combined with a mismatch between resources and needs. Therefore, in order to restore an affected society back to its pre-event status requires extraordinary efforts.

Goals And Objectives

The relevance of the study is explained by the fact that the spread of the coronavirus epidemic has become a serious challenge to achieve the goals and objectives set by the national project, especially taking into account the need to obtain relevant results already in 2030. The author analyzed the impact of the pandemic on the results of achieving the corresponding milestones of federal projects in the short term - in particular, the degree of achievement of the parameters of federal projects in the dock 2019 and in the crisis year 2020 was considered. The long-term implications of the coronavirus-related restrictions are also considered, including in the aspect of a qualitative change in the national project as a whole, associated with a change in the federal projects that fill it. Based on the results of studying the issue, the author presents scenarios about the possibility of implementing a national project by 2030, taking into account the existing market situation, and also gives recommendations on possible mechanisms for the successful completion of all project activities within the timeframes determined by the President of the Russian Federation.

Research Hotspots

Background: Disaster epidemiology has not attracted enough attention in the past few decades and still faces significant challenges. This study aimed to systematically analyze the evolving trends and research hotspots in disaster epidemiology and provide insights into disaster epidemiology.Methods: We searched the Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) databases between 1985 and 2020 to identify relevant literature on disaster epidemiology. The retrieval strategies were TITLE-ABS-KEY (disaster epidemiology) and TS = (disaster AND epidemiology). Bibliometrix, VOSviewer 1.6.6 and SigmaPlot 12.5 were used to analyze the key bibliometric indicators, including trends and annual publications, the contributions of countries, institutions, journals and authors, and research hotspots.Results: A total of 1,975 publications were included. There was an increasing trend in publications over the past 35 years. The USA was the most productive country. The most frequent institutions and journals were Fukushima Medical University and Prehospital and Disaster Medicine. Galea S made significant contributions to this field. “Epidemiology” was the highest-frequency keyword. COVID-19 was highly cited after 2019. Three research hotspots were identified: (i) the short- and long-term adverse health effects of disasters on the population; (ii) COVID-19 pandemic and emergency preparedness; and (iii) disaster management.Conclusions: In recent decades, the USA was a global leader in disaster epidemiology. Disaster management, the short- and long-term health effects of disasters, and the COVID-19 pandemic reflected the research focuses. Our results suggest that these directions will remain research hotspots in the future. International collaboration is also expected to widen and deepen in the field of disaster epidemiology.

Year 2000

Since the year 2000 libraries' concepts of disaster management, contingency planning and the role of libraries in a major disruptive event have changed dramatically. Libraries have gone from an emphasis on protecting and restoring collections and facilities to an emphasis on service continuity. Although broadband adoption nationwide remains disproportionate at best, the advent and widespread use of the Internet and e-government mean that libraries have become the centers of communication for their communities in a crisis. This chapter will demonstrate the essential role of libraries before, during and after a disaster, both short term and long term and how to get a seat at the table with community planners by demonstrating the functions that are critical to recovery. In order to fulfill this community role, a library first needs to be prepared with its own business continuity plan.

Mutual Evaluation

Purpose The purposes of this paper are to discuss the short-term economic impact of the jurisdictions that have been identified as deficient countries in terms of the regime of anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism and to identify the probable reasons for the poor results of mutual evaluation reports of the deficient countries. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a case study approach to discuss the short-term economic impact of the countries that are under the International Co-operation Review Group (ICRG) process due to poor results of mutual evaluation reports. The sample of countries for the study was selected based on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) listing as of November 30, 2019. The objectives of the study are expected to be achieved by discussing the issues of these jurisdictions based on publicly available information. However, this study will not consider the long-term economic impact on the countries due to the observed short-term nature of the ICRG process. Findings This analysis reveals that the ICRG process affects countries in two different perspectives. First, there are implications on the financial system of a deficient country as a result of identifying it as a high-risk country. Second, there are some other forms of economic implications due to the rigorous ICRG process. The downgrading of the sovereign rating by international and credit rating agencies is one of such implications that result in adding a risk premium to the country. This results in increased transaction costs and borrowing costs of deficient countries. Besides, it appears that the ICRG process impacts the capital and currency markets of deficient countries as a result of enhanced due diligence process on fund transfers and limitations in corresponding banking relationships. However, despite these difficulties, some countries have been identified more than once for the ICRG process. Therefore, such countries have to take measures to strengthen the anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regime to avoid future listing. However, long-term sustainability of the countries that were removed from the FATF grey-listing is also questionable under the current FATF methodology of evaluating countries because of the level of effectiveness depends on the judgment of assessors on the risk and context of countries rather the technical compliance. Research limitations/implications This study was limited to the countries that were in the grey list as of November 30, 2019. The countries exited from the list have not been considered for the study. Originality/value This paper is an original work done by the author by discussing the issues of the ICRG process in respect of deficient countries in view of strengthening the AML/CFT regimes of such countries.

The current state of an enterprise development is carrying out not only in our country but also abroad. This is evidenced by the uneven dynamics of the effectiveness of their financial and economic activities. The reduction of technological cycles of production, accelerating the timing of its implementation and the conquest of new markets is a significant impact on the efficiency of enterprises. An actual task for our country enterprises in the context of ensuring innovative development is a financial planning system development that will meet the requirements of modern global trends in production and trade in enterprises financial security system. Enterprises have faced the problem of inefficient management in modern conditions of financial and economic activities. The external factors negative impact has affected the activities of most domestic businesses, which, having lost their stability and solvency, feel the lack of financial resources and reduced profitability. There is lack of a clear strategic idea, ways to achieve it for effective management of enterprises, as well as lack of experience in financial planning in the financial security of the enterprise. Financial planning, depending on the classification is divided into long-term, medium-term, short-term, strategic, tactical and operational. The purpose of financial planning is to increase the efficient use of long-term and short-term money capital. In the planning process measures to increase return on capital, improve stability, minimize risks the company are developed in the enterprise. The financial planning plays a key role in the planning system of the enterprise, ensuring the economic feasibility and effectiveness of the measures being developed to achieve its strategic goals and objectives. The implementation of financial planning in the enterprise is carried out on the basis of three stages, which are subordinate to each other, namely, strategic, tactical and operational. The choice of financial planning methodology is determined by the factors of goals and objectives of enterprise development. The methods used in the process of financial planning today are: calculation and analytical, regulatory, balance, optimization of planning decisions, economic and mathematical modeling, network, program-target. The generalized technique of financial planning which is actual in changing conditions of our state market economy has been offered.
