The objective of the research is to improve fire risk reduction in Kampung Ampel Surabaya through: [1] identifying the current firefighting system in Surabaya; [2] identifying the characteristics and conditions of Kampung Ampel; [3] identifying structure of the problem; [4] proposing strategies for fire risk reduction in Kampung Ampel. The analysis will focus on determining risks and resources of Kampung Ampel to fire hazard using Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis. Risk and resources are combined to find out the areas that have the highest risk of fire hazard. The results of the analyses consist of challenges and possible solutions. The challenges can be concluded as follow: [1] resources for firefighting cannot cover the entire area of Kampung Ampel; and [2] resources for evacuation cannot accommodate all the population and visitors. The proposed solutions for those challenges are: [1] reactivation of inactive fire wells; [2] utilization on source of water in Ampel Mosque; [3] proposing wider road to connect roads which are wider than 3.5 meters but are blocked by narrower roads; [4] the purchase of adapters to connect different types of fire hoses; [5] adding the number of fire hoses brought to the site; [6] remodeling the vulnerable buildings using inflammable materials with keeping the value of cultural landscape; [7] keeping portable fire pump in Ampel Mosque to facilitate the fire handling by residents; and [8] preparing evacuation route to the closest open space areas. The application of those solutions can reduce the high-risk area from 26.6% to 0.2%.

Purpose Recently, frequent occurrence of fire incidences in various building types with devastating effects on human settlements have proliferated and have become of serious concern to Nigeria’s economy. Hence, there is a need to proactively address strategic weaknesses in measures directed at protecting the built environment (BE). The purpose of this paper is to examine stakeholders’ role in the frameworks on disaster risk reduction (DRR) in the context of fire hazards within Lagos metropolis. Analysis is based on findings of research carried out on vulnerability, resilience assessment and guiding principles from three recent frameworks. Design/methodology/approach Mixed research design was adopted using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. In all, 165 BE professionals in the construction industry, state/federal emergency management and local/national government agencies were randomly selected. Findings Findings show that stakeholders believe prevention, preparedness and mitigation of disasters are the most important; however, BE professionals in the construction industry do not play active roles in the mitigation of fire risk despite wide publications on guidance for fire hazard mitigation. These stakeholders urgently need to adopt fire hazard mitigation strategies, especially in the pre-construction phase of a building’s life cycle which is identified as the most critical stage in the construction phase. Research limitations/implications The paper looked at fire occurrence in Lagos from the perspective of the BE with the view to fill knowledge gaps for adopting fire hazard mitigation strategies. Originality/value The findings brought to bear the need for stakeholders, especially BE professionals in the construction industry, to be better involved in DRR as regards fire occurrences.

In Fire

Fire is one of the dangers that can threaten cities that have dense residential. DKI Jakarta as the capital city of the country with many dense residential areas with a high level of fire risk, this is proven from the data of 948 fires occurred from 2011, they were1008 in 2012, 486 in 2013, 486 in 2014 696, 1582 in 2015 and in 2016 there were 1139 fires. The trigger of fires in dense residential areas was the lack of resilience in handling the fire disasters, resilience here refers to reducing the vulnerability that becomes a potential fire hazard in residential areas. Community involvement in fire disaster risk reduction is very important, this should be with the capacity of firefighters to be able to initiate the community to be involved in fire disaster risk reduction efforts. This research will analyze the capacity of firefighters in implementing the Sister Village program, identify the capacity of implementing the Sister Village program that was seen from (i) the capacity of firefighters in initiating communities to play a role in efforts to reduce the risk of fire disasters, (ii) Implementation of the Sister Village Program in fire disaster risk reduction efforts, (iii) Community involvement in fire disaster risk reduction efforts in DKI Jakarta. In doing research the capacity of firefighters in the application of the Sister Village Program as an effort to reduce the risk of fire disasters used descriptive qualitative research methods.

ABSTRACTThe meeting of the 3 world plates, the Eurasian Plate, the Indo-Australian Plate, and the Pacific Plate in eastern Indonesia, caused a high potential for earthquake and tsunami events in the area. The frequency of tsunami events in eastern Indonesia including West Papua Province is quite large. Tsunamis are mostly caused by earthquakes originating from the sea, but can also be triggered by submarine landslides, volcanic eruptions at sea, gas extrusions, celestial bodies, nuclear explosions and other generating sources. With the high potential of tsunamis in West Papua Province, tsunami hazard and risk maps are urgently needed to become a reference in the development planning process and tsunami disaster risk reduction activities that are more effective, efficient and integrated to reduce the possible impact of victims. The danger of a high tsunami in West Papua Province which has a far enough landward direction is on the coast of Sorong City, Sorong District, South Sorong District, Bintuni District and north of Fakfak District (Bomberay Sub-District). Based on the area of high-risk areas, Bintuni District is the district that has the widest high-risk area, with an area of 116,728 Ha or 5.61% of the total area of the Bintuni District, while Tambrauw District is the district with the smallest high risk area of 2,076 Ha or 0,32% of the total area. The only district that does not have a tsunami threat because it is not in the coastal area is Maybrat District.Keywords: tsunami, West Papua, hazard, risk, risk reduction ABSTRAKPertemuan 3 lempeng dunia, Lempeng Eurasia, Lempeng Indo-Australia, dan Lempeng Pasifik di Indonesia bagian timur, menyebabkan potensi tinggi kejadian gempa dan tsunami di  daerah tersebut.  Frekuensi kejadian tsunami di Indonesia bagian timur termasuk Provinsi Papua Barat cukup besar. Tsunami sebagian besar disebabkan oleh gempabumi bersumber di laut, tetapi juga bisa dipicu akibat tanah longsor bawah laut, letusan gunungapi di laut, ekstrusi gas, benda-benda langit, ledakan nuklir dan sumber pembangkit lainnya. Dengan tingginya potensi tsunami di Provinsi Papua Barat, maka sangat dibutuhkan peta bahaya dan risiko tsunami untuk menjadi acuan dalam proses perencanaan pembangunan serta kegiatan pengurangan risiko bencana tsunami yang lebih efektif, efsien dan terpadu untuk mengurangi dampak korban yang mungkin terjadi. Bahaya tsunami tinggi di Provinsi Papua Barat yang mempunyai pelamparan cukup jauh ke arah daratan terdapat di pantai Kota Sorong, Kabupaten Sorong, Kabupaten Sorong Selatan, Kabupaten Bintuni dan sebelah utara Kabupaten Fakfak (Kecamatan Bomberay). Berdasarkan luas area berisiko tinggi, Kabupaten Bintuni merupakan kabupaten yang memiliki area berisiko tinggi terluas, yaitu dengan luas 116.728 Ha atau 5.61% dari luas keseluruhan Wilayah Kabupaten Bintuni, sedangkan Kabupaten Tambrauw merupakan kabupaten dengan wilayah berisiko tinggi paling kecil dengan luas 2.076 Ha atau 0,32% dari seluruh luas wilayahnya. Satu-satunya kabupaten yang tidak memiliki ancaman tsunami karena tidak berada pada kawasan pesisir adalah Kabupaten Maybrat.Kata kunci: tsunami, Papua Barat, bahaya, risiko, pengurangan risiko

Nowadays, restoration project might lead to increased public engagement and enthusiasm for biodiversity and is receiving increased media attention in major newspapers, TED talks and the scientific literature. However, empirical research on restoration project is rare, fragmented, and geographically biased and long-term studies that monitor indirect and unexpected effects are needed to support future management decisions especially in the Neotropical area. Changes in animal population dynamics and community composition following species (re)introduction may have unanticipated consequences for a variety of downstream ecosystem processes, including food web structure, predator-prey systems and infectious disease transmission. Recently, an unprecedented study in Brazil showed changes in vampire bat feeding following a rewilding project and further transformed the land-bridge island into a high-risk area for rabies transmission. Due the lessons learned from ongoing project, we present a novel approach on how to anticipate, monitor, and mitigate the vampire bats and rabies in rewilding projects. We pinpoint a series of precautions and the need for long-term monitoring of vampire bats and rabies responses to rewilding projects and highlighted the importance of multidisciplinary teams of scientist and managers focusing on prevention educational program of rabies risk transmitted by bats. In addition, monitoring the relative abundance of vampire bats, considering reproductive control by sterilization and oral vaccines that autonomously transfer among bats would reduce the probability, size and duration of rabies outbreaks. The rewilding assessment framework presented here responds to calls to better integrate the science and practice of rewilding and also could be used for long-term studying of bat-transmitted pathogen in the Neotropical area as the region is considered a geographic hotspots of “missing bat zoonoses”.

Abstract Background The Royal College of Physician guidelines (2011) identified handover as a “high risk step” in patient care, especially in recent times within the NHS where shift patterns lead to more disjointed care with a high reliance on effective handover by all staff members. Introduction At Cannock Chase hospital, Fairoak ward is an elderly care rehabilitation ward where there is a large multi-disciplinary team. While working on the ward as doctors we noticed that handover between the MDT was poor. Anecdotal evidence from both doctors and nurses felt that this was a high risk area in need of improvement. Aim to improve handover between doctors and nurses on this elderly care ward. Method To measure the quality of current handover practice we did a questionnaire. A total of 12 questionnaires were completed which showed that 92% of staff felt that handover on the ward was very poor and 50% preferred both written and verbal handover. We measured the number of tasks verbally handed over between doctors and nurses over 3 days. On average 65% of the tasks were completed. We then made the below interventions and re-audited to see if there was any improvement. Interventions over 3 week period: Results Questionnaire: Measuring task completion after interventions; Conclusion This project has made a positive change qualitatively and quantitatively to the ward handover practice. Staff satisfaction regarding handover has improved and the number of “handed over” tasks completed daily has significantly improved. The written handover sheet had poor utilisation by staff but in 4 months we are going to re-audit and trial the handover sheet again to further improve service delivery. We hope this improvement will have a positive impact on patient care on this elderly care ward.
