AbstractNatural disasters are one of the natural phenomena that can threaten human lives which could cause material and immaterial losses. According to Antara. News, the National Disaster Management Authority or Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana (BNPB) has registered 372 natural disasters in Indonesia since the beginning of 2021. Airlangga University School of Medicine has a Natural Disaster Assistance Unit that provides volunteers and a variety of facilities as needed, but the competence of human resources is still lacking. The lack of specific roles and skills of volunteers to support disaster victims can be a problem. Faced with these issues, FK Unair's Anesthesiology and Resuscitation Community Services Team has formed a disaster response team consisting of people of different life and educational backgrounds from different locations to conduct a disaster management training program to update the latest knowledge.Keywords: Disaster Response Team, Training, Online, Disaster Risk ReductionAbstrakBencana alam merupakan salah satu fenomena alam yang dapat mengancam keberlangsungan hidup manusia dan dapat menimbulkan kerugian materi maupun non materi. Berdasarkan Antara. News, Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana (BNPB) mencatat 372 kejadian bencana alam di wilayah Indonesia sejak awal tahun 2021. Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Airlangga memiliki Unit Bantuan Bencana Alam yang memiliki relawan dan berbagai sarana yang siap berangkat kapanpun dibutuhkan namun kesiapan sumber daya manusia dinilai masih kurang. Masih kurangnya spesifik tugas dan kompetensi relawan yang berangkat membantu korban bencana dapat menjadi permasalahan. Dengan adanya permasalahan tersebut, Tim Pengabdian masyarakat Departemen Anestesiologi dan Reanimasi FK Unair bermaksud untuk membentuk tim tanggap bencana yang direkrut dari berbagai tempat dan dari berbagai kalangan serta berbagai latar belakang pendidikan yang akan dilakukan pelatihan tanggap bencana untuk update ilmu dan materi baru yang terkini.Kata Kunci: Tim Tanggap Bencana, Pembekalan, Online, Disaster Risk Reduction

IntroductionInternational collaboration for disaster response is an increasing phenomenon. Japan-United States joint field exercises have been conducted annually since 2004, triggered by an incident in which a US helicopter crashed into a university campus in Okinawa, Japan. The fifth Japan-US disaster field exercise was conducted testing the disaster response of the Okinawa government and US military.MethodsThe simulated exercise involved a US Navy aircraft that crashed into a city center in Okinawa, Japan. There were 16 simulated casualties that included US military members and Japanese citizens. The participants in this exercise were US military members, including the Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) and local rescue and medical teams including the Okinawa Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT). Data were gathered from the joint debriefing session held by both medical teams. Furthermore, interviews with team leaders from both nations were conducted and feedback obtained.ResultsLack of communication and inaccurate communication remained the root of most problems encountered. There were several miscommunications at the scene due to the language barrier and ignorance of different medical teams' capability and method of practice. Due to the unclear signage of the initial triage zone, another triage zone was developed later by a second medical team. Confusion regarding gathering information and order of transport also was witnessed. The capabilities of team members were not well known between teams, resulting in inappropriate expectations and difficulty in effective cooperation.ConclusionsUnderstanding the systems and backgrounds of each medical team is essential. Signs or symbols of key elements including triage areas should be clear, universal, and multilingual. Communication remains the Achilles' heel of multi-national disaster response activities.

The South African disaster response activities surpass risk reduction since the implementation of the Disaster Management Act 57 of 2002 (DMA) and the National Disaster Management Framework of 2005 (NDMF). Risk reduction, in particular risk communication, remained unexploited until the occurrence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The legislation and policy mandate a proactive approach for disaster management, requiring a focus on disaster risk reduction. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the significance of risk communication as a critical prevention and mitigatory strategy in disaster risk management, focusing on the COVID-19 pandemic. Key to risk communication success is ensuring adequate comprehension, accurate perception of the disseminated information, and compliance with regulations. Questions of trustworthiness, acceptability, effectiveness, and usefulness of messages and strategies communicated sought answers from the Bloemfontein population. Furthermore, the Agenda-setting Theory provided the grounding for the study. The study sample was picked in a stratified random sampling manner, using the confidence level and margin of error equation. A questionnaire survey was used to collect the data required to achieve the research objectives. Risk communication as a disaster risk reduction strategy implemented concurrently with imposed regulations was found to have played a vital role in mitigating the virus spread. However, the respondents were not aware of the local disaster management centre, which is supposed to be engaged in COVID-19 disaster management activities.

This chapter describes how to manage disaster risk and how community-level action is essential when organizing any emergency response action. It outlines the types of hazards that communities face, how they can be reduced and how we can increase the effectiveness and resilience of community health programmes (CHPs) to meet those hazards. It explains how we can train a disaster response team (DRT) and use them and community health workers (CHWs) both to deliver and to help to implement disaster safety messages. It describes in some detail both the types of disaster and ways in which the community can respond and work with others, including government and external providers.

Integration of Psycho-social Social Support and Mental Health Services in to National Disaster Management Guidelines India is vulnerable, in varying degrees, to a large number of natural as well as man-made disasters and also a high risk country for disasters due to expanding population, urbanization and industrialisation, development within high-risk zones, environmental degradation and climate changes. The creation of National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) in 2005, as the apex body for disaster management, has brought out a paradigm shift in the area of disaster management. One of the important mandate of NDMA is to issue National Disaster Management Guidelines (NDMG) to the ministries/ departments to assist them to formulate their respective Disaster Management (DM) plans. In this direction NDMA has issued number of NDMG on different themes to provide basis of preparation of DM plans at different levels. There are policies & guidelines on Psycho-social Support and Mental Health Services (PSSMHS) in disasters at the international level in the form of Inter Agency Standing Committee guidelines (IASC) which advocates PSSMHS in disasters. In India there was no such policy which streamlines the Psycho-social Support and Mental Health Services in Disasters. During preparation of various National Disaster Management Guidelines, one remarkable factor noticed was the need for psycho-social care, subsequently preparation of NDMG on Medical Preparedness and Mass Causality Management brought out an overwhelming consensus to formulate a separate NDMG for PSSMHS. In order to translate the critical need for psycho-social care and support into guidelines, NDMA adopted a mission-mode approach for integrating PSSMHS in disaster response by involving participatory and multi step methodology to formulate NDMG on Psycho-social Support and Mental Health Services in Disasters.

Purpose – The number of disasters has increased by 30 per cent worldwide in the past 30 years. Nurses constitute the largest clinical group within a hospital and their ability to respond to disasters is crucial to the provision of quality patient care. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate a four-year disaster preparedness partnership between two tertiary hospitals from the perspective of executive staff, senior clinical managers and specialist nurses. The national disaster response centre was situated in one hospital and the other hospital was located 3,500 km away. Design/methodology/approach – The intervention involved selected nurses working at the partner hospital to enable familiarisation with policies, procedures and layout in the event of a request for back-up in the event of a national disaster. A mixed-methods design was used to elicit the strengths and limitations of the partnership. Surveys, in-depth interviews and focus groups were used. Findings – In total, 67 participants provided evaluations including ten executive staff, 17 clinical management nurses and 38 nurses from the disaster response team. Improvements in some aspects of communication were recommended. The successful recruitment of highly skilled and committed nurses was a strength. A disaster exercise resulted in 79 per cent of nurses, able and willing to go immediately to the partner hospital for up to 14 days. Research limitations/implications – During the four year partnership, no actual disaster occurred that required support. This limited the ability to fully trial the partnership in an authentic manner. The disaster exercise, although helpful in trialling the processes and assessing nurse availability, it has some limitations. Originality/value – This innovative partnership successfully prepared specialist nurses from geographically distant hospitals for a disaster response. This together with a willingness to be deployed enhanced Australia’s capacity in the event of a disaster.

Facing the increased frequency of disasters and resulting in massive damages, many countries have developed their frameworks for Disaster Risk Management (DRM). However, these frameworks may differ concerning legal, policy, planning and organisational arrangements. We argue that geospatial data is a crucial binding element in each national framework for different stages of the disaster management cycle. The multilateral DRM frameworks, like the Sendai Framework 2015–2030 and the United Nations Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UNGGIM) Strategic Framework on Geospatial Information and Services for Disasters, provide the strategic direction, but they are too generic to compare geospatial data in national DRM frameworks. This study investigates the two frameworks and suggests criteria for evaluating the utilisation of geospatial data for DRM. The derived criteria are validated for the comparative analysis of India and Bulgaria’s National Disaster Management Frameworks. The validation proves that the criteria can be used for a general comparison across national DRM.

PurposeDespite Bangladesh's great strides in formulating disaster management policies following the principles of good governance, the degree to which these policies have successfully been implemented at the local level remains largely unknown. The objectives of this study were two-fold: (1) to examine the roles and effectiveness of local-level governance and disaster management institutions, and (2) to identify barriers to the implementation of national policies and Disaster-Risk-Reduction (DRR) guidelines at the local community level.Design/methodology/approachBetween January 2014 and June 2015 we carried out an empirical investigation in two coastal communities in Bangladesh. We employed a qualitative research and Case Study approach, using techniques from the Participatory Rural Appraisal toolbox to collect data from local community members as well as government and NGO officials.FindingsOur study revealed that interactive disaster governance, decentralization of disaster management, and compliance by local-level institutions with good governance principles and national policy guidelines can be extremely effective in reducing disaster-loss and damages. According to coastal community members, the local governments have generally failed to uphold good governance principles, and triangulated data confirm that the region at large suffers from rampant corruption, political favoritism, lack of transparency and accountability and minimal inclusion of local inhabitants in decision-making – all of which have severely impeded the successful implementation of national disaster-management policies.Research limitations/implicationsWhile considerable research on good governance has been pursued, our understanding of good disaster governance and their criteria is still poor. In addition, although numerous national disaster management policy and good governance initiatives have been taken in Bangladesh, like many other developing countries, the nature and extent of their local level implementation are not well known. This study contributes to these research gaps, with identification of further research agenda in these areas.Practical implicationsThe study focuses on good disaster governance and management issues and practices, their strengths and limitations in the context of cyclone and storm surges along coastal Bangladesh. It offers specific good disaster governance criteria for improving multi-level successful implementation. The paper deals with International Sendai Framework that called for enhancement of local level community resilience to disasters. Thus, it contributes to numerous policy and practice areas relating to good disaster governance.Social implicationsGood disaster governance would benefit not only from future disaster losses but also from improved prevention and mitigation of natural hazards impact, benefiting society at large. Improvement in knowledge and practice in disaster-risk-reduction through good governance and effective management would ensure local community development and human wellbeing at the national level.Originality/valueThe failure of local-level government institutions to effectively implement national disaster management and resilience-building policies is largely attributable to a lack of financial and human resources, rampant corruption, a lack of accountability and transparency and the exclusion of local inhabitants from decision-making processes. Our study identified the specific manifestations of these failures in coastal communities in Bangladesh. These results underscore the vital need to address the wide gap between national DRR goals and the on-the-ground realities of policy implementation to successfully enhance the country's resilience to climate change-induced disasters.

The Impact

Abstract Burkina Faso is a West African Sahelian country with climate-related risks because the disaster risk profile, and drought and floods are the main damaging natural disasters, aggravated by the phenomenon of climate change. An effective design and implementation of disaster reduction management strategies requires an understanding of risk factors and vulnerabilities, but also and an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of national disaster response systems.In this perspective, a literature review and an analysis of climate information were conducted in order to reveal the risks and vulnerabilities to droughts and floods in the country. This was accompanied by a critical evaluation of the performance of the national prevention and intervention system.Vulnerabilities to drought and floods are exacerbated by the combined effect of climate change and the low performance of the national disaster risk reduction management system. National institutions and frameworks exist for disaster prevention and management, but difficulties persist in implementation due to financial constraints and insufficient human skills. Current trends and estimates suggest that the drawbacks of these natural hazards may be more serious in the future if solutions are not taken to improve early warning forecasts, infrastructure and the implementation of adequate agricultural policies.
