AbstractHealth crisis is an event/series of events that threaten the health of individuals or communities caused by disasters and / or potentially disasters. Researchs on health crisis as scientific source in disaster policy making in Indonesia is still very limited. The description of health crises events of including victims, displacement and damage to health facilities and support for health crisis response in the form of emergency response along with the initial recovery by the Ministry of Health in 2016 were the aims of this study. This study is a qualitative study, using literature review method, reference / electronic information tracking such as through Health Crisis Management Information System, National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) website, Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), Social Service, Regional Government Police and other related agencies. Secondary data from related units/agencies and the main Ministry of Health units are obtained through focus group discussions (FGDs). The frequency of health crisis events due to the disaster in 2016 was 661 incidents dominated by natural disasters as many as 400 events (60%), while the frequency of non-natural disasters was 237 events (36%) and social disasters 24 events (4%). Most of the health crisis incidents due to the 2016 disaster (97%) were the remaining hydrometeorological disasters, 3% of the most non-natural disasters were outbreaks of food poisoning, transportation accidents, fire, technology failure, industrial accidents and outbreaks of disease. The ratio of refugees due to natural disaster is 693 per event, while social disasters are 225 per incident The ratio of deaths from non-natural disasters is 1.5 times higher than natural disaster. Poisoning has the highest victim ratio of 20 per incident of poisoning. Health facility damage caused by disaster 174 units. The greatest health impacts arising from the health crisis in 2016 was. dominated by natural disasters in the forms of floods, landslides and earthquake disasters. Effective emergency response efforts must involve as many sub-clusters as possible that have special expertise to overcome the impact on disasters.  AbstrakKrisis kesehatan merupakan peristiwa/rangkaian peristiwa yang mengancam kesehatan individu atau masyarakat yang disebabkan oleh bencana dan/atau berpotensi bencana.

Abstract Managing natural disasters amid the Covid-19 pandemic needs a special strategic approach. Indonesia, as a natural disaster-prone country, is now facing a problem due to areas with high vulnerability and a lack of disaster literacy. A multi-disaster e.g., the occurrence of natural disasters in the middle of Covid-19) management strategy is badly needed to face up to this situation. This paper offers a multi-disaster management strategy based on empirical experience as a reference for stakeholders, especially government at all levels. Five strategies are offered to overcome the impacts of a multi-disaster event, especially in natural disaster-prone areas with high Covid-19 case rates. Strengthening government institutions is the first priority to be addressed as coordination among government at all levels (from central to regency and city governments) will minimize the casualties. Logistic and infrastructure arrangements should be well managed to avoid any panic and chaos during multi-disasters. Recruitment of volunteers could be very helpful during the emergency response stage. Provision of evacuation sites and temporary shelters that meet the Covid-19 requirements is a must to prevent virus spread during evacuation and emergency response stages. Last but not least, increasing individual disaster literacy should be considered an essential component of a multi-disaster management strategy. Finally, well-managed coordination between all stakeholders is paramount, especially in natural disaster-prone areas with a high level of Covid-19 spread.

Fukushima Disaster

The Fukushima disaster following the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan demonstrates the complexity of responding to nuclear emergencies during a natural disaster. Current international safety standards and guidance do not specifically address this type of situation. The potential conflicts between the response to the conventional impacts and the radiological consequences, real and perceived, can impede the effectiveness of the overall emergency response. The present article discusses the strategic and operational challenges likely to be encountered in such a complex emergency, and draws conclusions on how countries should better plan for the low probability but high consequence impacts of natural disasters coincident with a nuclear accident at a nuclear power plant.

Natural Disaster Management

Currently, natural disaster management at marinas depends on the experience of the marina managers. To improve the safety of marinas, it is necessary to prepare a manual for natural disaster management according to the local conditions at each marina. In this study, we focused on the basic information required for preparing effective manuals to deal with typhoons and tidal waves. We investigated the damage caused by typhoons and tidal waves, and the measures taken by marinas against natural disasters. The damage caused by natural disasters strongly depends on the storage system and shape of the marina.

Abstract Bangladesh is widely known as a land of natural disasters and remains classified as one the most vulnerable countries in the world. Over the last thirty years, Bangladesh has experienced nearly 200 natural disasters accounted for damage of asset, property and, livelihoods and over thousands of death toll. In this connection, effective leadership is critical in order to make disaster response system operative in an effective and efficient manner. This study explores the disaster leadership with a view of identifying the essential leadership skills that are needed by leaders to effectively respond in the aftermath of disaster. It also intends to explore challenges that these leaders face, with a view of improving disaster response leadership. This study revealed that some key essential leadership skills such as intuitiveness, decisiveness, communication, networking, accountability, and learning are required to respond disasters effectively. Findings from this study provided not only an overview of leadership skills needed to face challenges, but also the challenges that these leaders face, with a view of equating the challenges with appropriate skill needed to respond in the context of Bangladesh.

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.

Tsunami 2004

ASEAN is one of the regions with the highest rate of disaster vulnerability. Tsunami 2004 has triggered the momentum for Indonesia and ASEAN to deal with disaster-related issues more seriously. Losses and casualties from the catastrophe led to the decision by Indonesian government to put disaster prevention and risk reduction as a priority. Indonesia continues to encourage and supporting ASEAN in order to improve the region’s capability to deal with natural disaster. Through AADMER (ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response) that was signed in July 2005, ASEAN held an unequivocal and defined base in any efforts of disaster management, especially in the ASEAN region. Through Qualitative Methodology, this paper will discuss about how the disaster diplomacy of Indonesia contributes to the improvement of ASEAN’s capability in the disaster management, but also examines BNPB as both the backbone and the focal point of Indonesia’s disaster management, which then leads up to how disaster can abolish certain diplomatic hurdles, as well as improving regional cooperation, and strengthen the Indonesia’s position as a key country in regional disaster management.

The chapter argues that natural disasters are common concerns in the international community. At the same time, the current international cooperation mechanism, based on the principle of equal sovereignty, require prior consent by the state affected by a natural disaster. Unfortunately, this is not always an efficient tool for the protection of victims. The globalization of problems and the proliferation of humanitarian crises make the veritable solidarity of the international community increasingly necessary, and therefore another high value, namely international solidarity or community obligations, should create direct and immediate obligations for all members of the international community. The main object of this chapter is to discuss the future-oriented direction of the law on natural disasters. This means, first, to ascertain the lex lata, especially customary rules. The chapter further offers some suggestions on possible ways for the international community to provide more effective relief for victims of natural disasters.
