Disaster management and recovery in northeast japanFatwa Ramdani
This document summarizes disaster management and recovery efforts in Sendai City, Japan following major earthquakes in 1978 and 2011. It discusses how Sendai City was impacted by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, with significant damage reported in coastal areas. It then evaluates Sendai City's disaster management, noting the role of neighborhood associations in disaster response and recovery support. Simulation exercises were conducted to strengthen emergency coordination and community resilience. GIS modeling was also used to analyze evacuation routes and vulnerability of different demographic groups. Overall, the document highlights the importance of community organizations, disaster drills, and emergency planning in facilitating effective disaster recovery.
This document discusses key aspects of emergency management in 3 paragraphs:
1) Emergency management aims to efficiently address urgent needs with limited resources and incomplete information, but it remains a young field without international standards.
2) Large emergencies exceed normal response capacity in degrees - from local to national disasters. The vulnerability context can transform incidents into disasters.
3) Emergency management is evolving from a civil defense approach based on command/control to a civil protection model of collaboration, openness, and population involvement. Counterterrorism also adopts more civilian and intelligence-based strategies.

Disaster:-
The Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology defines disaster as "sudden or great calamity". A disaster can be defined as “an unexpected natural or manmade event that may result in personal injury, mass fatalities, property and infrastructural damage. These events can be a result of natural events such as earthquakes and typhoons, accidents (aircraft, rail, maritime, industrial), terrorist activities and conflicts.”
Types of Disaster:-
All disasters can be broadly divided into two categories -Natural and Manrnade disasters. Natural Disasters are not controllable as, indeed, nature is not controllable -such events are often termed as 'acts of God'. The Man-made disasters on the other hand are a rapidly increasing phenomenon in the present day Technological Society and occur as a result of human failure or error or malfunction of some structure or system designed by man. Similarly, while there is sometimes an element of warning in natural disaster. There is generally none in man-made disaster and this lack of warning makes avoidance difficult.
Both types of disasters can cause visible damage to a familiar environment, but some technological disasters do not have this effect like nuclear pollution from an accident like that at Chernobyl may be catastrophic, yet cause no visible damage.
Whilst Natural Disaster is often predictable to some degree, technological disaster is not. Technological catastrophes are never supposed to happen and hence predictability is not an issue. The King's Cross Underground fire in November 1987 killing 31 persons and causing horrendous injuries could not have been foreseen as escalators are not supposed to erupt into flames.
Following are the different types of disasters under the above mentioned categories:-
1. Natural Disasters:- can be of the following types.
a) Famines
b) Floods
c) Storms
d) Droughts, and
e) Epidemics
2. Man-made Disasters:-
a) Air, Rail and Sea disasters
b) Fires
c) Explosions
d) Building collapse disasters
e) Industrial accidents
f) Football Tragedies
g) Holocausts in Civilian Violence, Terrorism and Mass shootings.
h) Mass suicides, e.g. Jonestown suicides.
2. Disaster Victim Identification
Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) refers to a respectful, systematic and orderly process undertaken in response to a multiple fatality incident with the aim of scientifically identifying the deceased casualties of the incident so that they can be returned to their relatives. The process involves matching post-mortem information from a deceased individual with ante‐mortem information of a missing person and through this identifying the deceased individual.
DVI is a multi‐disciplinary activity that relies on a range of comparative scientific and non‐scientific methods to identify human remains.
A DVI operation is typically part of the ‘response phase’ to a multiple fatality event and usually becomes fully operational at the conclusion of the rescue and evacuation part of the operation.
This document announces an online symposium hosted by the Young Neurosurgeons Forum on providing neurosurgical services during disasters. The symposium will discuss concepts like telemedicine, telesurgery, and mobile emergency/neurosurgical units. Speakers will include leaders from the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies on training neurosurgeons in developing areas and addressing public health issues. The document provides background on recent major earthquakes in Haiti and Chile to illustrate the need for rapid neurological response during disasters when infrastructure is damaged and communications fail.
6th International Disaster and Risk Conference IDRC 2016 Integrative Risk Management - Towards Resilient Cities. 28 August - 01 September 2016 in Davos, Switzerland
The document discusses the development of Emergency Mapping Symbology (EMS) to provide standardized symbols for representing emergency events in maps. EMS was created in Canada as other efforts like the US Homeland Security Working Group symbols did not adequately represent all hazards relevant to Canada. EMS defines a hierarchical structure and design for symbols that can be rendered across different devices and backgrounds. The symbols are open and free to use under a Canadian government license. EMS and complementary symbologies like ones for police could support open government goals by making emergency-related map data more accessible and interoperable.
This document summarizes livestock management during floods in Pakistan. It defines disasters and floods, then discusses key aspects of livestock management including mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Mitigation involves structural measures like housing animals away from flood plains and non-structural activities like advising owners of risks. Preparedness includes arranging animal shelters, food/water storage, and vaccination programs. Response consists of veterinary clinics and rescue operations. Recovery supports reconstructing infrastructure and restoring animal and community wellbeing through veterinary care and contingency planning. Overall it outlines the main strategies for managing livestock when floods occur in Pakistan.
The document discusses the impact of climate change on the insurance industry and outlines initiatives by European institutions and insurers to address the issue. It notes that many insurance classes are affected by natural catastrophes whose losses have increased significantly in recent years. The document also summarizes initiatives by the European Union and reinsurers to implement emissions trading schemes, study impacts, and develop new risk assessment tools. It calls for partnerships between public and private sectors focused on prevention through mitigation and adaptation measures.
