AbstractDisaster is an event or series of events that threatens and disrupts people's lives and livelihoods caused by natural factors and non-natural factors and human factors resulting in human casualties, environmental damage, property losses, and psychological impacts, a phenomenon of life humans who cannot be known exactly when it happened. In facing disaster preparedness in Indonesia, there is still a lack and lack of hate education so that there is a lack of public knowledge in post-disaster planning and their readiness to anticipate disasters. Therefore, repacking information is packing information back, or changing from one form of information, to a symbol that is interpreted as a message, recorded as a sign, or sent as a signal. Preparing knowledge about disaster preparedness or hate from an early age to people who are vulnerable to disasters and in preparing themselves for disasters.Keywords: information, repackaging, disaster

AbstractDisasters are events or series of events that threaten and disrupt the lives and livelihoods of the people caused by natural factors and / or human factors resulting in fatalities, environmental damage, property losses and psychological impacts. Indonesia is an area that has quite a lot of disasters, both floods, landslides, earthquake and tsunami disasters. Therefore identification of disaster-prone locations is very important to provide guidance for the community to know what should be prepared.In this study, it will identify locations that have high potential for disaster so that the government or the community can take measures to prevent or mitigate the magnitude of the disaster or eliminate the losses that will occur. This study uses priority scale with Analytical Hierarchy Proces method.The results obtained almost 40% of the national road locations in West Java province are prone to landslides, 35% of all road segments are prone to earthquake disasters, 20% have potential floods

Predicting the occurrence of a crisis is indeed difficult, where insensitivity picks up signals from existingsymptoms, causing it to only realize when the crisis situation. If you are not able to handle it will have badconsequences, and even the impact can not be predicted when it ends. Therefore, optimal efforts to reduce risksand uncertainties are carried out during a crisis, so that crisis management is needed to quickly return to normal.Risk conditions are conditions that have an impact on a situation such that it can cause a crisis or even a disaster.Crisis is a situation of very high potential towards disaster in a short span of time. While disasters are events thatthreaten and disrupt life and livelihoods caused by natural factors and / or factors not natural or human factors,causing casualties, environmental damage, property losses, and psychological impacts. So, crises and disastersrequire proper management. Accordingly, comparative advantage as a strategy can be a choice for crisis anddisaster management.

This argumentative paper presents a new perspective on Ibn-khaldun’s theory of social change in light of Covid-19. It argues that when examining the theory, it can be found that it makes an association between social change and natural factors, such as epidemics and human factors, such as government changes. The target theory which is explored in this study is the cyclical theory of Ibn-khaldun. This study adopts the former theory in order to analyze the effects of Covid-19 on the Arab-Islamic society, and how this theory was able to predict many of the current events and possible future events using social and historical approaches. The paper consists of four parts as follows: First, an overview of Ibn-khaldun’s theory of social change and its philosophy is provided. Second, the role of human factors in social change according to Ibn-khaldun is explored. Third, natural factors affecting social change according to Ibn-khaldun are discussed. Finally, the impact of Covid-19 on our way of life in relation to Ibn-khaldun’s theory of social change is examined.

Lampung Province has the threat of Forest and Land Fires (FLF) based on incident reports. There is a lack of data on how the threat level of the forest and land fires, so this research is important to do. This study aims to analyze the track record and potential for FLF incidents, to analyze the characteristics and level of the FLF threat. Threat mapping is done by weighting and scoring 11 variables. These variables are divided into natural factors and human factors. The results showed that the equation that gives a weighting of 90% to natural factors. The characteristics of FLF show that natural factors are sensitive factor for the occurrence of FLF in Lampung Province. Mapping of threats shows that the area of ​​low threat class is 244,811.96 ha (8%), medium threat class is 1207,716.15 ha (40%) and high threat class is 1,591,767.42 ha (52%). Three districts had the highest level of threat class, namely Way Kanan, Central Lampung, and East Lampung Districts. The results of the validation of field conditions are indicated by the results of this threat mapping, so that the results of this study can be used as material for consideration by policy makers.

Indonesia is one of the very prone countries to disaster. The tsunami and earthquake disasters caused enormous damage to property and infrastructure as well as loss of life. An earthquake on September 30, 2009, measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale struck the west coast of Sumatra, causing loss of life and damage to infrastructure. There were around 1,115 people killed, 1,214 seriously injured and 1,688 people lightly injured. A comprehensive study of natural disaster management activities or systems should be used as learning materials to form a disaster management system. Disaster preparedness by minimizing vulnerability has been identified as a better approach to dealing with disasters than post-disaster response. Creating a culture of prevention is critical to dealing with everyday hazards and the consequences of disasters. The study is using data from a natural disaster in west Sumatra, and data from people who were involved in the process of reconstruction post disasters in west Sumatra. This study aims to obtain an accurate description of the reconstruction post-disaster and relation with responsive gender activities in West Sumatra, and identify how the gender effect on reconstruction post-disaster in the West Sumatra region.

The past post-disaster recovery process had many difficulties in planning. The importance of residents participatory urban planning is true of post-disaster planning and ordinary planning; however, there are difficult problems as follows: time-scale conflict between desire of affected households for swift recovery of their individual lives and enough consideration of urban planning to avoid speed-before-quality planning, unsmooth discussion and consensus building because of mutual conflict of their interest in the residents, and a shortage of professionals in the case that an earthquake disaster hits wide and high-density urbanized region. The concept of "pre-disaster planning" has been propounded as measures to deal with these serious situations after 1995 Hyogo-ken Nambu Earthquake in Japan. Actual measures including "neighborhood community-training program for post-disaster recovery" of Tokyo Metropolitan have been implemented in various approaches. This study has pioneering approach in this context. We focus on planning support technologies based on a geographic information system (GIS) and establish planning support system for post-disaster community-based urban planning, which will smooth discussion and increase efficiency of planning work. An introduction of the system will result in reduction of total time needed on the planning process and supplement of professionals. Though there are some problems that we identified, they will be solved in accumulated experiences such as the training program in the near future.

The Caribbean Water Study describes the operational and financial performance of selected water utilities in the Caribbean as reported by the utilities as well as secodary sources, the situation of non-revenue water (NRW) among these utilities, the financial impact of COVID-19 on the utilites, and the issue of their resilience to natural disasters. Benchmarking of the key performance indicators for water utilities in the Caribbean shows how utilities are performing in relation to their peers across time. NRW is seen to be one of the biggest challenges for water utilities in the Caribbean and one of the most direct ways to improve a utilitys efficiency, financial performance, and quality of service. In addition, reducing NRW contributes significantly to climate change adaptation. Regarding financial impact of COVID-19, the Study found that due to the large decreases in non-residential consumption, most utilities registered a fall in revenues and in average tariffs. The Study elucidated the fact that their small size and limited resources of water utilities make it is difficult for them to recover from the devastation of a storm on their own and post-disaster response, natural disaster preparedness, investments to increase resiliency, and access to funds are of critical importance.

AbstractWe examined whether pre-disaster social support functions as a disaster preparedness resource to mitigate post-disaster depressive symptoms among older survivors of the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami. The participants were 3,567 individuals aged ≥65 years living in Iwanuma city who completed a baseline survey as part of the nationwide Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study seven months before the disaster. A follow-up survey was administered approximately 2.5 years after the disaster. The analysis included a total of 2,293 participants, and social support (giving and receiving emotional & instrumental help) before the disaster was measured using four items. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the GDS with a cut-off score of 4/5 (not depressed/depressed). We discovered that participants who gave and received emotional and instrumental support before the disaster were significantly less likely to develop depressive symptoms after the disaster compared to those without support (ARR = 0.70; 95% CI: 0.56–0.88). The risk of the onset of depressive symptoms was 1.34 (95% CI: 1.03–1.74) among those who experienced disaster damages but had also given and received social support, and 1.70 (95% CI: 1.03–2.76) among those who experienced damages but lacked support. Strengthening social aid may help cultivate psychological resilience to disasters.

ABSTRACT Objective: This study was focused on reviewing the emergency and disaster preparedness of European hospital pharmacists. Methods: An online survey based on International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) guidelines for natural disasters was sent to European hospital pharmacies, with the support of the European Association of Hospital Pharmacists. Additional questions were added about the characteristics of respondents, as well as preparedness and experience of manmade disasters. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the results. Results: Hospital pharmacists in France (20%) and Spain (19%) returned most of the 306 questionnaires completed in 27 countries. Half of the respondents had analyzed their regional disaster risk, but 65% had never practiced emergency drills. Fifteen percent of respondents had experienced at least 1 major emergency or disaster event in the last 5 years. Fifty-six percent of those respondents who experienced a disaster subsequently created and promoted internal standard operating procedures (SOPs) for future emergencies, versus 23% for those who had not experienced disasters. Among pharmacists having experienced disasters, 40% organized a post-disaster debriefing to improve their future response. Conclusions: Results highlighted that most European hospital pharmacists were not fully compliant with FIP guidelines. However, respondents who had experienced disasters were more likely to create and promote SOPs for future disasters. Further worldwide analysis and benchmarking are necessary, and FIP guidelines should be more strongly promoted.

Sixty-eight disaster planners in manufacturing companies from the state of Washington provided information pertaining to their disaster planning practices by completing a mailed questionnaire. A checklist-grid format of nineteen emergency care procedures was presented to respondents with four questions asked in relation to each procedure. Less than half of the sample reported that the protocols are utilized in written plans, disaster drills or educational procedures. Thirty-five percent of the respondents indicated that no internal accountability exists for all of the 19 procedures. Ten percent to thirty percent of the sample of respondents reported that no internal or external accountability exists for all of the 19 procedures. Respondents reported that disaster drills and real disaster events rarely occur within the time interval of a year; less than ten percent of the respondents have drills or real events in a year for each of the protocols. Twenty-five percent to forty-five percent of the respondents reported they do not have education and teaching for each of the disaster procedures and protocols. The majority of respondents (54.4%) had no education in disaster planning as well. The data show that large- and medium-sized rather than small-sized companies more frequently utilize disaster preparedness strategies including written plans and disaster drills. Twenty-one (approximately 30%) of the respondents out of a total of 68 stated that their companies engaged in post-drill evaluations and critiques. Nineteen out of 68 respondents modify their written plans following the disaster critique. The protocols for which occupational health nurses mainly play a primary role include employee safety and first aid, employee information/awareness, and lead in emergency shelter and employee care. However, the 68 respondents recognized occupational health nurses as participants at a ten % or less rate. The extent to which implementation of disaster procedures was based on written protocol guidelines and educational training or mandated by internal accountability was difficult to determine from the data due to the dissimilarity of the sample. These data, however, suggest that disaster protocol usage is not a widely established practice for this sample of disaster planners.
