Anthropomorphization is the tendency to ascribe humanlike features and mental states, such as free will and consciousness, to nonhuman beings or inanimate agents. Two studies investigated the consequences of the anthropomorphization of nature on people’s willingness to help victims of natural disasters. Study 1 (N = 96) showed that the humanization of nature correlated negatively with willingness to help natural disaster victims. Study 2 (N = 52) tested for causality, showing that the anthropomorphization of nature reduced participants’ intentions to help the victims. Overall, our findings suggest that humanizing nature undermines the tendency to support victims of natural disasters.

The natural disasters of the earthquake, liquefaction, and tsunami that occurred on September 28,2018 in Palu, Sigi, and Donggala have caused damage and even loss of residence and property ofthe people in the region. Agricultural land which was a source of livelihood could not be reused.During the recovery phase in the aftermath of natural disasters, the government andhumanitarian agencies could rebuild facilities and infrastructure including the economy ofdisaster victims. Central Sulawesi Assessment Institute for Agricultural Technology (AIAT)participated in the socio-economic recovery of natural disaster victims in Sigi Regency through thedevelopment of superior BALITBANGTAN (KUB) chicken based on native households in temporaryshelters in Jono Oge Village, Sigi Regency. The purpose of this study was to determine thecontribution and motivation of Sigi disaster victims in raising KUB chickens based on households.The contribution of raising KUB chicken was calculated from the percentage of KUB chicken tototal household income while motivation was measured by the scoring method using a Likert scale.Based on the results of the assessment, it was concluded that the income of victims of naturaldisasters at the Jono Oge Village in Sigi Regency had contribution contribution of raising KUBchickens based on households was 8.08% categorized at <Rp1,500,000.00 and 4.21% categorize atRp1,500,000.00 - Rp2,500,000.00. The motivation of natural disaster victims for raising KUBchickens was on the ease of sales and maintenance.

The article discusses the creation of the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (idndr, 1990–1999), a global observance event that emanated neither from within the United Nations – for whom until then disaster management or rights of disaster victims had not been a real priority – nor from within civil society organizations or governments. In actuality, it was primarily a scientist-led initiative. This article suggests that this episode is a rare example of a joint effort on the part of a scientific community to create international scientific institutions to deal with the issue of disaster risk. The framing of the issue as “scientific” by earth scientists led the UN Secretariat and governments to embrace an issue that they had hitherto neglected. However, archival evidence also suggests that the eventual takeover of the project by the UN bureaucracy weakened the role of earth scientists in the idndr and changed its orientation.

Introduction: Natural disasters is one of the real threats which cause the loss of life, property, and refugees. Background Problems: The role of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) in natural disaster management becomes an interesting thing to study when natural disasters occur in Indonesia. Novelty: This article reveals the analysis result of the implementation of TNI’s principles in disaster management, especially in the following regions: Palu, Sigi and Donggala (Pasigala), Central Sulawesi Province. Research Methods: The research was conducted using qualitative research methods. The collected data was analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques. Finding/Results: Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that the role of TNI’s leadership style was very prominent to fill the vacancies of Regional Leaders in certain areas experiencing disaster. The support of TNI personnel in natural disaster management cannot be separated from the implementation of 11 TNI leadership principles, which consist of: Takwa, Ing Ngarsa Sung Tulada, Ing Madya Mangun Karsa, Tut Wuri Handayani, Waspada Purba Wisesa, Ambeg Parama Arta, Prasaja, Satya, Gemi Nastiti, Belaka, and Legawa. The application of these principles can be seen in emergency response situations, where TNI plays an important role, in which their instructions were conformed by the community. In disaster mitigations, they evacuated victims, rebuilt worship places, looked around for logistical sources for the community, were incharged for possible criminal actions, such as eradicated looting acts, arrested the perpetrators and handed them to the local Police. Thus, it can be said that the leadership of TNI has succeeded in handling natural disasters in Pasigala, Central Sulawesi. It can be then recommended that the Indonesian Government and stakeholders should improve the quality of training and education for leadership and disaster management by implementing the leadership principles of TNI, as well as synergizing with TNI in disaster management

Background: Australians are no strangers to sudden natural disasters, such as bushfires. The effects of a natural disaster can devastate local communities and health care services. Currently, limited research has explored the role of the pharmacist during a natural disaster. This study explores the role of the Australian pharmacist during the 2019/2020 Black Summer Bushfires. Methods: Semi-structured phone interviews were conducted with ten community pharmacists who worked through the Black Summer Bushfires whose daily tasks and work environment were directly affected by the bushfires. Thematic analysis using NVivo®, a qualitative data analysis software was conducted. Results: Analysis of the transcripts generated six main themes: collaboration; trauma and mental health; power and communication; acute presentations; triaging and emergency prescribing. Pharmacists worked in close collaboration with doctors and members of the local community. They provided triaging services, timely health advice about chronic health problems, and managed acute issues, including wound and burn management and mental health support in traumatic conditions, sometimes without power and communication amenities. The challenges presented to pharmacists during the bushfires warranted creative and flexible approaches at times. Conclusion: This study highlights the need for mental health support and training for pharmacists, provisional prescribing privileges, and a clearer set of contingency regulations and legislation related to emergencies and natural disasters. Further research is warranted to gain greater insight into the roles undertaken by Australian pharmacists during natural disasters and their autonomy in decision making processes during such times.

Abstract Following the increasing rate of natural disasters, more attention is being paid to post-natural disaster reconstruction projects. However, from the perspective of project management, these projects show a significant degree of differences from the regular construction projects. Although some progress has been made on this topic, further research is needed to smooth pathways for the management of Post-Natural Disaster Recovery (PNDR) projects. This paper provides a management framework for PNDR projects throughout the qualitative analysis of the research's selected resources. The resources identified by applying inclusion and exclusion criteria in academic online platforms have been coded by NVivo 2020, and corresponding groups have been made for PNDR life-cycle and project stages. An integrated management framework has been put forward throughout the simultaneous application of the research's suggested life-cycle and project stages for PNDR projects. The most significant observation of this study is the necessity of applying a continuous life-cycle to address projects' long-term goals and provide an experience-based database for the management of next natural disasters. The significant role of planning in the entire life-cycle of PNDR projects, recognition of the tasks that need to be handled continuously during entire PNDR projects, the necessity of simultaneous consideration of tangible and intangible recovery outcomes are the other findings of this study. Recognition of reconstruction as part of the bigger system, named recovery, also stressed the necessity of considering the recovery project as a whole.

<p><em>This essay discusses the capacity of the army in response to natural disasters. The focus in this study is the readiness of Army personnel in carrying out duties on natural disaster emergency response phase. Personnel as one of the most important elements of the army capacity is playing the most important role in the achievement of the tasks. With a limited defense budget that is focused specifically in the task of MOOTW, capacity building of personnel is one way to increase the role of the TNI particularly the Army in carrying out the task of natural disaster.<strong></strong></em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>capacity, training &amp; education, core competence, flood disaster</em></p>

Each country has a natural disaster, but catastrophe losses can't be avoided. The loss of human life, damage to the environment, infrastructure degradation, etc. Which in turn affects the country's development facing the disaster's wrath? In this analysis, we discuss the various methods available in the literature to reduce the losses in flood-related natural disasters. There are four major steps in the prevention of disaster losses, including preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation. Existing methods that address the above steps and all the current methods have certain limitations and are therefore not all sufficient to minimize losses due to flooding. In order to overcome all the deficiencies in the exit method, we propose an IoT devices based algorithm to get the number of victims and survivors due to flood and reduce the flood losses model using social networking sites.

<p>Kodim 0618/BS of Bandung City is a unit of Military District Command under the Kodam III/Siliwangi Command which oversees as many as 14 Koramil that are spread in the area of Bandung City. With 14 Koramil spread across the city of Bandung, Kodim 0618/BS has 347 personnel and stands by itself because it is not under the Korem and tasked with regional empowerment, defense and preparing all aspects of regional defense including having their own programs and handling in reducing the risk of natural disasters. This research is conducted to find out the role of Kodim 0618/BS in the Effort of Reducing Natural Disasters in Bandung, which has a high potential for natural disasters because it is located between the Lembang Fault and geographically is in the form of a basin which means it has a high risk of flood. This study employs qualitative method. The data was obtained through observation, interviews and library studies. Descriptive analytical techniques were employed in conjunction with data collection when researchers were in the research site – Bandung. The research finds that 1) The role of Kodim 0618/BS in Efforts of Reducing Natural Disasters is essential with Dandim being the deputy chairman in the Satlak of Disaster Mitigation and Reduction and 2) Bandung City uses the Fire Department and Natural Disaster Management as an organization responsible for Natural Disaster Management 3) There is a lack of Disaster Mitigation Experts, hence special training for personnel is needed</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Disaster Management, Natural Disaster, Main Duty of TNI</p>
