This study entailed an evaluation of preferences of workers for aspects of realistic fire management services aimed at providing effective fire prevention and real-time response using conjoint techniques. The analysis of the responses indicated that a combination of real-time disaster-situation dissemination and real-time 3D indoor status information displays was preferred. For workers in both low and high-rise buildings, real-time disaster-situation dissemination within the building received the highest evaluation. Workers in low-rise buildings also showed a preference for the 3D indoor status information displays that provide optimal dynamic evacuation routes. Future studies will include demonstrations of such techniques through local governments to put realistic fire management services into practical use, promoting safe living environments from fire.

Evacuation Route

In the form of evacuation routes, safety handling must be prioritized especially in high-rise buildings. When the fire occurs, the most important thing apart from extinguishing the fire is to bring the occupants out of the building as soon as possible to prevent any casualties. It is necessary to take effective, efficient and integrated fire hazard prevention measures in a management system so that its implementation and renewal can follow the needs. This is also regulated in building regulations and is technically regulated in the Indonesian National Standard. Shopping center building is for example. Shopping center should put more attention to the accessibility aspects of evacuation routes for users. The scoping study of Millennium ICT Center includes the existence of facilities and infrastructure for evacuation and fire management of buildings, evacuation time of building residents, using descriptive study methods with quantitative analytical, and simulation methods using Rockwell Arena Simulation Software. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of accessibility to facilities, infrastructure, and building fire management of Millennium ICT Center as well as evacuation route travel time meet the requirements, safety and comfort standards of building users.

In the context of the recent climate change, flooding has been causing serious damages to the human lives and their properties in the world in general, Vietnam in particular, including Binh Dinh province. Therefore, it is pivotal for local governments to build up real-time flooding monitoring and warning systems supported by modern technologies. Addressing to this aim, in this paper, we will study and design a new flooding monitoring and warning system based on a combination of the Long Range (LoRa) teachnology and an open-source platform of Thingsboard. The proposed system allows collecting effectively and sufficiently data from different locations on rivers in a timely manner, thus supporting the early flooding prediction and forecast processes. A testbed of the proposed system is then deployed in the Kone and Ha Thanh river basin, Binh Dinh Province.

The implementation of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH)is one of the efforts to create a workplace that is safe, healthy, and freefrom environmental pollution, to minimize work accidents andoccupational diseases, and to finally improve work efficiency andproductivity. The mortality rate caused by fire cases in the industrial sectorare high. Therefore, fire management is needed as the implementation ofOccupational Safety and Health. This study aims to determine managementpreparedness in dealing with fire emergencies to prevent fire and minimizethe potential hazard risk of PT X. The method in this study uses qualitativemethods with triangulation approach through in-depth interview, observation, checklist form and documentation. The research resultsthrough in-depth interviews show that fire management is still not optimal, i.e. there are no hydrants, automatic alarms and emergency doors. Inaddition, the fire prevention unit has been established but not specifically. From the observation of using the checklist form, it showed that firemanagement has 3 Good (G) categories, includes fire extiguisher (82%), standard operating procedures (100%), and evacuation routes (100%). Theothers are 5 Less (L) categories, includes hydrant (0%), alarm (0%), emergency door (0%), education and emergency response training (33%), fire management unit (25%).

The role of public online information in helping to reduce disaster damage is expected to become increasingly important since it can be used for decision making about disaster response. This paper aims to discuss the effectiveness and limitations of real-time online information about heavy rainfall based on an analysis of data on the disaster caused by Typhoons 17 and 18 in 2015 in Miyagi prefecture, Japan, and on a focus group interview survey with four experts on natural disasters. The results from the interviews showed the following: (1) Landslide alert information is reliable for prediction purposes. However, many people did not monitor it because it was released around midnight. (2) Areas of landslide occurrence and river flooding correspond to areas with heavy cumulative rainfall. Yet cumulative rainfall data are not available on the web. (3) The available radar-rainfall data can be used to predict the situation one hour from the present as long as the person has expert knowledge. (4) It is possible to monitor river water levels at many points. Yet, about half of the observation points have no established “flood danger water level.” (5) Local governments released a great amount of disaster information through social media before flooding occurred on some rivers. However, one must monitor multiple social media accounts and not just the account of one’s hometown.
