Abstract Background:In order to solve the problems of redundancy, unfairness, low satisfaction and high cost of emergency material allocation caused by unreasonable allocation effectively in the case of sudden disasters, and minimize the economic cost, punishment cost and maximizing the satisfaction rate of disaster victims, a 3-level network emergency material allocation mode based on big data is proposed in this paper.Methods:Taking the loss degree and the dynamic change of material demand in the disaster stricken areas as constraints, the demand forecasting, scheduling optimization, targeted allocation and disaster victims' satisfaction model based on emergency relief materials is constructed. The Sample Average Approximation method and improved NSGA-II algorithm are designed to solve the problem.Results:Compared with the results obtained by the improved NSGA-II, the value is significantly reduced. From the fairness evaluation results of the two model distribution schemes, the model obtained by the improved NSGA-II is more suitable for the distribution of emergency supplies with fair distribution requirements.Conclusions:It can be concluded that the 3-level network allocation mode and improved NSGA-II can solve emergency relief materials allocation based on big data effectively. The next step is to design scheduling model with all feasible medical supplies allocation route to improve the practicability of the model.

<p>This thesis explores the potential large public architecture offers for efficient transformation into a relief station in post-disaster situations. The increase in catastrophic disasters globally has demonstrated a widespread lack of preparedness in these situations. There is a shortage of safe, comfortable, and self-sufficient hubs for coordinating relief activity, for sheltering temporarily and providing emergency care to disaster victims, and relief personnel.  Disaster relief generally involves the urgent dispatching of medical supplies, food, water, blankets, sanitation systems, temporary shelters, and relief personnel to affected locations. Following the recent devastating spate of earthquakes and flood disasters in New Zealand makeshift relief centres were set up in public parks, schools, and community facilities to house displaced victims. These were set up to function as efficient relief stations. The facilities also depend heavily on deployed relief supplies and the public for donations and support. In addition, these relief hubs are quickly overwhelmed and in adverse weather conditions, they are inadequate for providing warm, dry, hygienic, and safe environments for sheltering large numbers of people including the injured and the sick.  This thesis explores how an airport may be designed for a dual purpose and the feasibility and complexity of planning and designing public space for transformation into a disaster relief station.</p>

This study is a retrospective evaluation of the long-term benefits of rural housing reconstruction in Dujiangyan city (DJY) after the Wenchuan earthquake from a land unification perspective based on statistical data, field investigation, literature review, and a case study. Research shows after the Wenchuan earthquake, during rural housing reconstruction, DJY optimized land development strategies through planning guidance, promoted marketized transfers of land resources, clarified the attribution of land rights through policy support to protect the interests of disaster victims, established equilibrium in the interests of the government, market, and masses, and coordinated the functions of life, production, and ecology through categorized reconstruction. Practice proves that implementation of post-earthquake housing reconstruction, guided by land unification and land-use transformation, reshapes rural form and the rural-urban relationship, thereby facilitating rural revitalization and integrated rural-urban development.

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

BACKGROUND: Natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic can cause various physical, social, and psychological problems for families. AIM: This study aims to determine the description of family psychosocial problems after the landslide disaster during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A qualitative descriptive research approach is used to find out the description and problems in detail. Focus group discussions were conducted with eight respondents who were affected by landslides. Furthermore, data analysis was carried out descriptively by bringing up several themes. RESULTS: We found four themes, namely, realizing there was something wrong with the physical, coping, and support system, sex being one of the primary needs, and the need to reduce psychosocial stress. From these four themes, one theme was found, namely, sex being one of the primary needs needed by the participants. We also found that all respondents were not afraid of the COVID-19 condition, but instead, they were more worried about their next house and place to live. This triggers psychosocial problems in the families of disaster victims. CONCLUSION: Family psychosocial problems experienced by landslide victims are eating and drinking, and psychosocial issues are also felt. The cause turns out to be from the effects of loss or the environment. Therefore, nurses can carry out trauma healing interventions by considering the source of the problem from the family.
