Disaster management cycle and COVID-19-Breaking the silos

Humanitarian workers responding to crises, either on the spot or in decision making positions, are familiar with the emergency management cycle with its basic three components namely; preparedness, response and recovery. This cycle can be expanded to include other elements, such as mitigation, readiness, business continuity, contingency, monitoring and evaluation [1].

Perancangan Media Edukasi Mitigasi Bencana dengan Pendekatan Desain Partisipatif di Kecamatan Bojongsoang

Abstrak Kawasan Sungai Citarum di Jawa Barat memiliki karakteristik bencana hidrometeorologi yang khas terkait kualitas air. Edukasi kesiapsiagaan dan pengetahuan tentang bencana menjadi hal yang mutlak, dikaitkan dengan siklus manajemen bencana, yaitu pada tahap pra-bencana. Kelompok budaya yang berbeda memiliki kepercayaan yang berbeda-beda pula tentang bagaimana menghadapi bencana, sehingga seringkali merespon sebuah fenomena bencana dengan cara yang tidak diduga oleh masyarakat modern. Pendekatan desain partisipatif digunakan untuk melakukan edukasi bencana dengan nilai-nilai setempat pada masyarakat Sunda khususnya Kecamatan Bojongsoang. Pelibatan partisipan dari kelompok protagonis memungkinkan pesan dikembangkan, diproduksi dan didistribusikan oleh masyarakat setempat. Pengembangan media poster, animasi, poster digital berbasis media sosial dan buku memiliki karakteristik yang berbeda sehingga penelitian ini juga dapat menemukan rekomendasi strategi media dan metode desain yang spesifik-tempat untuk kampanye edukasi bencana hidrometeorologi. Konsep yang lahir dari penelitian kemudian digunakan sebagai rekomendasi untuk melakukan proses desain berikutnya terkait metode dan pendekatan desain, desain visual, serta strategi media untuk menyampaikan pesan pada khalayak sasaran. Kelompok protagonis dilibatkan dalam distribusi pesan pada masyarakat di daerahnya. Pengetahuan dan pengalaman partisipan yang berada di lingkungan komunitasnya memperkaya desain, produk komunikasi, dan pendekatan dalam konten edukasi yang ditampilkan dalam kampanye sosial. Kata Kunci: desain partisipatif, media edukasi, mitigasi bencana AbstractThe Citarum River area in West Java has typical hydrometeorological disaster characteristics related to water quality. Education on disaster preparation and knowledge are essential, linked to the disaster management cycle, as part of the pre-disaster stage. Different cultural groups have different beliefs about the concepts of dealing with disaster, so they often respond to a catastrophic phenomenon in ways that modern society does not expect. The participatory design approach was used to implement disaster education with local values in the Sundanese community, especially in Bojongsoang Regency. The involvement of participants from the protagonist group allows messages to be developed, produced, and distributed by the community. The development of media posters, animations, digital posters based on social media and books have different characteristics that can also find strategic recommendations on media and design methods that are site-specific for hydrometeorological disaster education campaigns. The concept was born from the research is then used as a recommendation to carry out the next design process related to design methods and approaches, visual design, and media strategies to convey the message to the target audience. The protagonist group is also involved in the distribution of information to the community in the area. Participants’ knowledge and experience in their living space, enrich the design, communication products, and educational content in the social campaign.

Urgensi Pendekatan Multi dan Inter-disiplin Ilmu dalam Penanggulangan Bencana

The intensity and serious impact of disasters threaten human life, including in Indonesia. A series of natural disasters such as floods, landslides, earthquakes, and tsunamis in the past decade have claimed thousands of lives and damaged property and destroyed social and cultural structures. Current pandemic as non-natural disaster also shows that Covid-19 become among deadliest of disasters. With the unpredictable characteristics of disaster events (especially natural and pandemic), it is urgent to find a collaboration model for effective disaster management. As a concept, an approach and a method disaster management is not a monodisciplinary, but cross-disciplinary, whether it is multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary. Using a description and information analysis approach using secondary data through the literature review, this study discusses the link and contribution issues of disaster management. The results of the discussion show that apart from being multidisciplinary, disaster management is also interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary. In the disaster management cycle, there are important roles that differ between multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary. This preliminary finding may be useful for researchers, policy makers, disaster managers and others to start cooperating in reducing disaster risk. A more comprehensive and in-depth study is needed to see the relationship between disaster management and related sciences for strengthening disaster management in the future.

Geospatial Data Utilisation in National Disaster Management Frameworks and the Priorities of Multilateral Disaster Management Frameworks: Case Studies of India and Bulgaria

Facing the increased frequency of disasters and resulting in massive damages, many countries have developed their frameworks for Disaster Risk Management (DRM). However, these frameworks may differ concerning legal, policy, planning and organisational arrangements. We argue that geospatial data is a crucial binding element in each national framework for different stages of the disaster management cycle. The multilateral DRM frameworks, like the Sendai Framework 2015–2030 and the United Nations Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UNGGIM) Strategic Framework on Geospatial Information and Services for Disasters, provide the strategic direction, but they are too generic to compare geospatial data in national DRM frameworks. This study investigates the two frameworks and suggests criteria for evaluating the utilisation of geospatial data for DRM. The derived criteria are validated for the comparative analysis of India and Bulgaria’s National Disaster Management Frameworks. The validation proves that the criteria can be used for a general comparison across national DRM.

Epidemic Attack on the Aircraft Carrier Theodore Roosevelt: Bridging the Gaps in Emergency Management

This paper advocates for causal models of the emergency management cycle (EMC) for decision support in epidemic or pandemic scenarios. The model capability is demonstrated for the case of the COVID-19 attack at the NATO flagship USS Theodore Roosevelt in early 2020. Computational intelligence is a reasonable approach for dealing with uncertainties such as low reliability of information and source credibility. The proposed EMC causal models enable the development of countermeasures for epidemiological attacks using the notion of gaps in the four EMC phases: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. In particular, the EMC problem can be formulated and formalized as bridging the identified technology–society gap, e.g., mitigation of risks and biases; and machine reasoning can be incorporated at any level of the EMC decision-making. Using available real-world data on the USS Theodore Roosevelt outbreak, we show how machine reasoning mechanisms can help the captain to make more reliable decisions in critical epidemiological situations.

3D POINT CLOUD DATA PROCESSING AND INFRASTRUCTURE INFORMATION MODELS: METHODS AND FINDINGS FROM SAFEWAY PROJECT

Monitoring and digitalization are key to improve the resilience of the infrastructure network in the context of assessing its disaster management cycle. SAFEWAY is a project funded by the H2020 framework that aims to assess infrastructure resilience integrating multiscale information attending to all modes of disaster management cycle. This work presents the methodologies developed in the project for road and rail infrastructure monitoring and modelling, using remotely sensed data from Mobile Mapping Systems (MMS). First, 3D point clouds of both road and rail infrastructure are heuristically processed, obtaining geometric and semantic information from the most relevant assets, as well as the alignment, which is a key entity for generating information models. Such models are computed following the specifications of the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) 4.1 schema, considering its current limitations and future potential for linear infrastructure modelling. Finally, the information is centralized in a core software platform where a user interface has been developed to aid visualization and interpretation of the resulting data.
