Spread Of Infection

The pandemic (2019-202?) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is the cause of the COVID-19 disease, has already taken its place in modern human history. In the first months of the pandemic, as a result of the sudden and intense interruption of human activities, the decrease in nature-human relationship has created noticeable effects on the environment. Most governments take measures to reduce the spread of infection, primarily by increasing the capacity of the health system and the social distance between people. An earthquake that may occur during a pandemic may interfere with the effective implementation of such measures and cause an increase in the spread of the virus. This study aims to analyze the potential effect of the infection rate that may increase after an earthquake in a region where the pandemic continues, and the effect of a future earthquake on the spread of the virus. An open-access software was used for this and data on locally verified case numbers were combined with a seismic hazard and risk map to create a combined index. This index reveals areas where integrated disaster preparedness and emergency plans should be developed to take into account the likelihood of the spread of the post-earthquake COVID-19 outbreak.

Abstract. An evaluation of social vulnerability to storm surges is important for any coastal city to provide marine disaster preparedness and mitigation procedures and to formulate post-disaster emergency plans for coastal communities. This study establishes an integrated evaluation system of social vulnerability by blending a variety of single-evaluation methods, which are subsequently combined by weighting in order to calculate a common social vulnerability index. Shenzhen has a current reputation of having considerable economic development potential and is a representative city in China. It is chosen for an evaluation of its social vulnerability to storm surges via a historical social and economic statistical dataset spanning the period 1986–2016. Exposure and sensitivity increased slowly with some fluctuation, leading to some alterations of the social vulnerability trend. Social vulnerability stayed almost constant during 1986–1991 and 1993–2004, while it decreased sharply afterwards to form a “stair-type” declining curve over the past 31 years. Resilience is progressively increasing by virtue of a continuous increase in medical services supply, fixed asset investments, and salary levels of employees. These determinants contribute to the overall downward trend of social vulnerability for Shenzhen.

The case study in this paper is on the Daur (as well as the Evenki, Buriat, and Bargu Mongols) in Hulun Buir, Northeast China. The aim of this research is to examine how shamanic rituals function as a conduit to actualize communications between the clan members and their shaman ancestors. Through examinations and observations of Daur and other Indigenous shamanic rituals in Northeast China, this paper argues that the human construction of the shamanic landscape brings humans, other-than-humans, and things together into social relations in shamanic ontologies. Inter-human metamorphosis is crucial to Indigenous self-conceptualization and identity. Through rituals, ancestor spirits are active actors involved in almost every aspect of modern human social life among these Indigenous peoples.

Disasters are inevitable.  The island resorts in Malapascua Island, Daan Bantayan, Cebu, Philippines are vulnerable to natural risks such as typhoons and earthquake. In increasing disaster resilience, a model should be based on risk assessment results and be integrated with the strategic planning of the government and communities. It should consider risks and risk treatments across the social, built, economic and natural environments (Councils for Australian Governments, 2009). The study aimed to propose a disaster resiliency model for Malapascua Island, Daan Bantayan, Cebu, Philippines. The output of this study is a guide for the local community in case of natural disasters.  The descriptive survey method was utilized using a two survey questionnaires. The data regarding disaster preparedness in hotel resorts are gathered from the 80 respondents consists of the staff and managers of resorts in Malapascua Island, emergency rescue personnel, as well as the village officials of village Logon and municipal officials of Daan Bantayan, Cebu, Philippines.  Simple percentage and rank were used in the treatment of the data.  Results showed that island is vulnerable to risk and that devised plans for emergency disasters, hazard mitigation, and contingency are needed. The researchers recommended the use of the model. However, further research on its effectiveness should be conducted to confirm the preliminary findings.

The Impact

The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic caused a human and economic impact of unprecedented magnitude in contemporary history. In an effort to reduce the rate of infection, most governments implemented measures to increase social distancing and to strengthen the capacity of the healthcare system. The occurrence of earthquakes coincident with the pandemic may prevent the effective practice of such measures, and consequently cause an increase in the virus spread. This study analyzes the potential impact that seismic events may have on the infection rate within regions afflicted by both epidemics and earthquakes and explores open software packages that can be employed to simulate the impact of future destructive earthquakes on the spread of an emerging virus. Recent data on the number of confirmed cases at the national or subnational level were combined with a global seismic hazard and risk map to produce a combined index. This index highlights regions where preparedness and contingency plans should be developed to account for the possibility of COVID-19 outbreaks due to the earthquake impact.
