2. surrounding home. Emotional work showed to have drained
parents, as did threats to, and the loss of, "home" created
through "dwelling." When homes burnt, so too did memories of
children embodied in that home. This sense of loss intensified
when informing children about losses. These emotions impacted
parents' mental and physical wellbeing.While there is
considerable literature outlining parents' role in
lessening disaster impacts on children, few studies examine
parents' capacity to do so. In addressing this gap, this study
highlights avenues to improve psychosocial aspects
of disaster recovery.
Reports from San Jose State University Add New Data to
Findings in Disaster Risk Reduction (Preparing for Wildfire
Evacuation and Alternatives: Exploring Influences On
Residents’ Intended Evacuation Behaviors and Mitigations).
(2021, June 28). Bioterrorism Week,53.
This study explores evacuation intentions among wildland-urban
interface residents in Pend Oreille County, Washington, USA.
The funders within the three search had explored how
mitigation performance (e.g., fuel reduction efforts, structure
improvements, active firefighting preparation) differs across
three emergent categories of evacuation intentions and evaluate
whether a range of factors correlate with participants'
evacuation intentions. The funder’s results suggest that a
relatively high proportion of residents in the study area intend
to stay and defend their property from a wildfire, with smaller
proportions intending to evacuate or shelter in place.
Individuals who intend to stay and defend are more likely to
implement fuel reduction and property mitigation strategies
when compared to those intending to evacuate or shelter in
place.

3. This article explained that there are more than 400 active
wildfires burning in the United States according to the fire,
weather and avalanche center. Therefore safe home.org has
developed a emergency plan in which will help the homeowner
preparing to avoid a wildfire disaster as much as possible.
Within this article explained the importance of keeping tree
limbs trimmed at least 10 feet above the ground to prevent
ladder fuels. It’s also explained the importance of keeping the
yard watered in order to prevent the vulnerability of grass being
ignited. The article also explains how to make sure dead leaves
and twigs are always raked up and disposed of correctly. The
article also stated that if there is an evaluation make sure that
you move all flammable furniture to the center of your house,
turn on exterior and interior lights in order to make sure the
firefighters can see your house. In the event of evacuation, it’s
important to gather fire tools such as axes, rakes, and buckets
and make sure all doors are closed all windows and shutters and
blinds and pet doors are also closed. Upon leaving the house it’s
important to get dressed and long sleeve shirts make sure you
have long pants and durable shoes as well as wear gloves and
use handkerchiefs to protect your face from the smoke.

The author in this literature explains that disasters or that of the
threat of a disaster can trigger displacement in many ways such
as; pre-imperative evacuations or planned relocation’s from
high-risk hazard areas; escape from life-threatening send onset

This report, conducted with support from the National Science
Foundation, assesses the current state of social science hazards
and disaster research and provides a set of recommendations
that reflect opportunities and challenges in the field. Although
research to date has revealed much about how societies respond
to natural and technological disasters of various types, it is
clear from the following report that we need to learn more.
Among the most needed types of research are studies that
compare systematically the unique circumstances of
catastrophic events such as major earthquakes, hurricanes, and
acts of terrorism.

Washington State community that has been particularly hard hit
by WFS in recent years, as well as individual, family, and
community adaptation solutions. Within this academic journal ,
the researchers conducted a study within focus groups with
residents and key informant interviews with local health
and social service providers. The researchers found that the
Participants identified a variety of negative mental health and
wellbeing impacts of WFS events, including heightened anxiety,
depression, isolation, and a lack of motivation, as well as
physical health impacts (e.g., respiratory issues and lack of
exercise). Both positive and negative economic and social
impacts, as well as temporary or permanent relocation impacts,
were also found. It has been proven that wildfire smoke events
present significant mental health and well-being in packs for
rural communities.

relationship between crisis management and community
resilience in a tourism-based destination. Tourism Management

This study contributes to the understanding of the relationship
between crisis management procedures and local resilience
responses. The results of this study argue that interpreting the
community response to crisis management from the lens of
resilience will allow decision-makers to more thoroughly
understand the impact on the community and the related tourism
industry. This research proposes a path of integration
between crisis management and community response to be used
for navigating the challenges that occur during uncontrolled
natural disasters impacting community sustainability.

This book puts you on the front lines with the crisis worker
throughout the chapters, and then illuminates the techniques
and strategies the worker used. New videos in MindTap
(available with the text) correlate with the text and
demonstrate crisis intervention techniques, ensuring that you
not only understand the theoretical underpinnings
of crisis intervention theories, but also know how to apply them
in crisis situations.

Crisis communication should be a key element in these
preparations. While it is important for an organization to have
a crisis communication plan, this does not guarantee success.
Organizations must be dynamic and tailor their message
specifically for the target audience and crisis situation. This
research takes a case study approach to investigate how one
public sector organization, a University, communicated with a
key stakeholder group, their students, following a series of
earthquakes. We find that the organization had an
updated crisis management plan, practiced implementation
procedures, and a well-trained experienced communication
team. The organization used a range of communication tools to
reach their key target audience. In addition, it was able to
improvise and adjust its communication strategy.

This research showed study that soliciting and responding to
feedback in the pre-crisis stage could help individuals clarify or
correct any messages that are perceived by audiences as unclear
or are simply not accurate. Doing so may improve risk
communication effectiveness not only during the pre-crisis
stage but also throughout the earthquake crisis lifecycle.
