Abstract:
This study discussed the need for restructuring the disaster relief fundraising system in South Korea. To that end, it examined the management system and characteristics of disaster relief donations. In addition, the study drew implications by comparing domestic and overseas disaster relief donation systems and analyzing important precedents related to disaster relief donations. The analysis revealed that the domestic disaster relief fundraising system is based on the classification of disasters into natural and social disasters, which the study contended is not suitable in the current scenario given the recent trend of large and complex disasters. Overseas disaster donation systems were not found to be based on such a dual classification. Moreover, it was confirmed that various forms of support were being provided to revitalize donations overseas. It may also be unconstitutional for donations to be based on such a classification because the system violates the basic spirit of the Constitution by limiting the right to freedom and pursuit of happiness of donors and charitable organizations participating in disaster relief funding. Historical changes in the donation law have changed the orientation from regulation to promotion of a donation system with a mature donation culture. In this context, the following proposals were made to improve the domestic disaster relief donation system. First, the study recommended the unification of the donation system for natural and social disasters in light of the occurrence of multiple disasters. Second, it advocated a transition away from the current system of monopolistic fund management in order to revitalize various disaster relief fundraising institutions.

Abstract:
Disasters have been described as sudden and unpleasant experience which are rather inevitable to man's existence. Hence, the need to understand the dynamics of disaster management and relief operations is timely considering the massive destruction of lives, properties and infrastructures occasioned by covid'19 pandemic as well as the 2022 flood disaster. This study therefore, examines disaster management and relief operations in volatile environments , the Niger Delta region perspective and the objectives are, to understand the dynamics of disaster management and relief operations, to understand the skills or techniques in managing disasters and relief operations and to create public awareness on the essence of knowing the basic tips of mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery on disaster management. The paper is considered sequentially as follows; introduction, concept of disaster management, components of disaster management, relief operations techniques and conclusion. This research work will further enhance public sensitization and understanding the dynamics of disaster management. It will serve as a guide to governments and other stakeholders in formulating policies and programmes on disaster management and relief operations in Nigeria.

Abstract:
The prevention, reduction and relief of natural disasters is a worldwide problem. In recent years, with the vigorous promotion of the social governance system of "government-led, social coordination and public participation", Hebei Province has achieved phased results in the field of natural disaster relief by formulating relevant regulations and policy documents, actively guiding multiple social entities to participate in disaster relief in an all-round way, establishing disaster early warning mechanisms and giving play to the role of the market. But at the same time, there are some problems, such as unclear legal status, lack of interactive platforms and lack of professional skills of disaster relief participants. In view of the above problems, this paper puts forward some countermeasures to improve the rules and regulations for the participation of disaster relief subjects, improve the information communication mechanism among disaster relief subjects and enhance the professional level of disaster relief subjects.

Abstract:
The eruption of Mt. Unzen, from November 1990 to June 1991, brought on one of the worst volcanic disasters in Japan. Never before in post-war Japanese history has a natural disaster forced so many people to live as evacuees for so long, Two questionnaire surveys were carried out, the first in August, 1991 and the second in February, 1992. Conclusions drawn from these indicates that material assistance is important, but even more significant is the adoption of far-sighted policies to help evacuees adapt to their new disaster-caused situation. This would seem to be the biggest lesson to be learned from how today's affluent Japanese society dealt with the disaster.

Disasters are both natural and manmade that result in widespread loss to living beings and property. Even though completely avoid - ing disasters may not be possible; their impact can be managed if interventions are planned and executed properly in time. Having appropriate relief logistics to manage such eventualities is cru - cial to disaster management. Adding humanitarian angle to relief operations gives human face to disaster management. Current book is written with an objective of providing knowledge on disaster management with particular emphasis on humanitarian logistics in relief operations.

Abstract:
Due to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions around the world, unexpected weather changes are occurring one after another, and natural disasters such as typhoons, heavy rains, and heat waves are becoming more serious. In this trend, the importance of disaster logistics (rescue logistics) is increasing, and this study tried to derive the results of basic research before deriving disaster logistics by analyzing the amount of reserves and how much financial resources will be required if an unexpected natural disaster occurs. In addition, necessary matters were reviewed in the Enforcement Rules of the Disaster Relief Act to expand and manage stockpiles and diversify items in the direction of improving the legal system. Finally, the study proposed a policy alternative to managing and maintaining stockpiles calculated in consideration of regional disasters over the past 10 years, and suggested special disaster relief sets such as emergency relief sets, cooking relief sets, and individual relief sets.

Abstract:
AbstractMeteorological disasters frequently occur in China and around the world. These natural hazards can cause huge economic losses and threaten the personal safety of citizens. The public’s willingness to engage with disaster relief efforts and the degree of participation is critical to reduce the impact of such disasters. This study conducted a survey with 62,903 respondents from China. The study utilized statistical analysis and correlation analysis in order to understand the differences and similarities of the public’s willingness to take part in disaster relief across gender and age. The study found that: (1) the public’s awareness of insurance and willingness to make donations during climate disasters is low, and that more than half of the public are only willing to insure for very less money; (2) although the public has very high enthusiasm to participate in disaster relief, they are less willing to learn the basic skills of reducing disasters and for participating in training for disaster reduction as volunteers. This was especially the case for elderly citizens and females; (3) the willingness of the public to prevent and reduce disasters is high, and this was the case across various gender and age groups. Finally, the study puts forward several measures to improve the uptake of disaster relief and disaster prevention among citizens.

Abstract:
Indonesia has in the past often been struck by natural disasters. After these disasters, the disaster relief operations turned out to be ineffective in most cases. This study focuses on the main problems in disaster relief operations in Indonesia and tries to deliver a general model to deal with those. Literature studies showed that the main problem occurred in the field of organization, communication and logistical processes. Literature studies on relief operations in other countries showed that cooperation with private parties can be effective in these operations. The result of this study is a model which handles with the main problems and has the potential to create effective disaster relief operations.

Ntata, P. R. T. "Participation in disaster relief." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2002. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/3081/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the issue of participation of affected populations in disaster relief, which is receiving increasing attention from researchers, planners and practitioners. This concern comes out of the widely documented experience in development studies that beneficiary participation is essential for programmes to succeed. Similar arguments are being applied to disaster relief. However, despite much rhetoric, examples of genuine grassroots participation both in relief and development continue to be rare. I review the concept of participation in Chapter One and, in Chapter Two, the many possible reasons as to why participation of beneficiaries continues to be a problematic issue. In Chapter Three, I review the concept of humanitarianism and the implications of changes in humanitarian assistance on participation. In Chapters Four, Five and Six, I present three case studies, different by geographical, socio-political context and type of disaster. All the three studies contain material collected through fieldwork involving a qualitative methodology. I have indicated, in each study, the range of data collection tools used. In Chapter Seven, I compare and evaluate the findings of the three case studies. I present overall conclusions of the thesis in Chapter Eight. The main conclusions of the thesis are that beneficiary participation continues to be a problematic issue because groups that have power derived from ownership of economic resources or politics seem unwilling to share that power with the people they seek to assist. Their unwillingness to do so has, in turn, many causes including, lack of trust by aid organisations of local power structures and organisations, poor bureaucratic orientation, a self-given superiority of moral virtue and technical expertise, and sometimes limitations imposed by operational, structural and accounting procedures. I argue that some of these limitations could be addressed through financially supporting and enhancing the capabilities of member-based grassroots structures. I also argue that more effort needs to be devoted to research on how willingness to adhere to the ideals of humanitarian assistance can be generated on the part of aid agencies and donors.

In a large-scale disaster relief mission, a variety of personnel and organizations with different expertise take part in the relief activities towards a common goal. Interactions between them are important to promote efficiency, and the relief activities, especially search and rescue (SAR) activities, are carried out in a short time period. Some Emergency Offices of City/State/Federal governments and two case studies of actual disaster relief activities after large earthquakes were examined in order to recognize the issues in terms of collaborative environments during a disaster relief missions. These examinations have revealed the fact that the availabilities of site-specific information is a major concern when some decisions concerning relief activities are made, but the communication between on-site personnel and headquarters is not enough mainly due to the lack of cross-organizational coordination. Several commercial solutions have been developed and several studies have been made on collaborative environments at MIT. The current typical solutions consist of e-mail system, group discussion, bulletin board system, and shared data repositories integrated with mapping systems. Some further enhancements of these systems should be considered: multiple client access and detail design of thin portable client devices. To develop collaborative environments for disaster relief missions, the requirements have been gathered and the requirement analysis has been developed. According to functional role, relief mission participants are classified into four groups: field agent, team leader, coordinator, decision maker and specialist/advisor. The category "field agent" plays an integral role during a mission so that its activities are focused on. The hierarchy of collaborative session has been developed on account of that of participant roles. The multiple device access is an important functionality of collaborative environments. Some of the leading portable devices are featured and three types of wireless communication are described. To collect and report site-specific information in a disaster area is critical to make decisions. The needs and requirements of robot-human interaction that can be applied to a relief mission are discussed in comparison with SAR dogs.

Abstract:
A destructive earthquake is anticipated to occur in Istanbul in the near future. The effects of this earthquake on human, infrastructure and economy are anticipated to be enormous. The Metropolitan Municipality of Istanbul has initiated a disaster plan to mitigate the effects of the disaster. Locating disaster response facilities to execute post-disaster activities and relief operations is a part of this plan. In this study, we address the disaster response and relief facility location problem for Istanbul. Our aim is to study the situation and provide insights on the effects of the number of facilities and their locations. We propose a two-stage distribution system that utilizes existing public facilities as well as the new facilities to be established. We develop a mathematical model that tries to minimize the average distance to the population who need relief services while opening a small number of facilities. We analyze the trade-offs between these two objectives under various circumstances and present the results.

Abstract:
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
The problem with current international disaster relief is ineffective communication, coordination, cooperation, and collaboration (4C). Ineffective international 4C allows chaos and anarchy to significantly hinder disaster-relief efforts. After action reports (AARs) and disaster relief (DR) materials were examined to identify system-level issues during DR missions. These issues were examined to determine if DR exhibits characteristics of a wicked problem. The results of systems-thinking analysis show that anarchy, social complexity, and stress within the DR system have a negative impact on all components of the system. To improve the effectiveness of DR missions and help mission teams to present a unified front for DR, anarchy, social complexity, and stress must be reduced. This work proposes a communication strategy for DR missions that harnesses capabilities of information communication and technology (ICT) solutions, introduces a cloud-based hierarchical trust model, and outlines a common integration interface. The strategy encourages open and transparent 4C between DR mission teams and the international DR community. Properly implemented, this communication strategy could reduce system-level anarchy and social complexity, resulting in reduced post-disaster damage, injuries, and loss of life.

During 2002, some 11,000 people throughout the world were killed in natural catastrophes and man-made disasters were responsible for 10,000 fatalities worldwide; flood claimed the most victims with more than a third of the fatalities caused by natural disasters. Indeed, people will always face natural disasters, but it seems that disasters nowadays are frequently generated by or aggravated by human activities. The poverty as well as the increase of the density of the population is making the world more and more vulnerable since more people are living in riskier situations. The number of people at risk is growing every year and most of this population is located in developing countries where resources are limited. The purpose of this study is to identify the different types of risk and risk management in order to increase the participation of the private sector in disaster relief operations. This could generate the incentive for a collaborative work in an effective and efficient manner despite the number of agencies involved in disaster relief and fund raising in the corporate world. After providing an overview of the risk management concepts, this thesis will focus on assessing risks and ways to mitigate them before presenting risk transfer. Finally, there will be an emphasis on the importance and the role of Information Technology in Disaster Risk Management activities.

Full text
Abstract:
Relief organizations and governments strive to provide safe drinking water to natural disaster survivors as quickly as possible. However, drinking water is typically provided either as bottled water or via mobile water treatment equipment, both of which can be difficult or expensive to transport rapidly into disaster zones. An alternative is the waterbag point-of-use treatment device developed at Cal Poly that allows survivors to produce safe drinking water from contaminated local sources. The waterbag is a 10-L bladder designed for use with Procter & Gamble Purifier of Water (PŪR®) sachets, which contain coagulant and chlorine compounds. Following treatment with PŪR®, treated water in the waterbag is flowed through an outlet port to a filter, primarily for parasitic cyst removal. Currently, the commercial version of the waterbag uses an effective but expensive hollow-fiber membrane microfilter (>$10 each). This cost will likely decrease the use of the waterbag by relief organizations responding to large disasters. The goal of the present thesis research was to develop a novel, low cost (~$5), effective, low-profile filter to be used with the waterbag in large-scale disaster relief. This new filter is referred to as an envelope filter due to its geometry and size. Various prototype envelope filters were constructed using layers of nonwoven polypropylene filter cloth. Two types of cloth were used: a nominally-rated 1-µm pore size cloth and an absolute-rated 1-µm cloth. The filters tested were both internal and external to the waterbag and of various geometries. Filters were attached to the waterbag and used to filter defined test water after it had been treated with a PŪR® sachet. Test water for design experiments consisted of tap water with addition of standard dust (to increase turbidity) and seasalts (to increase salinity). In addition to this basic test water, mock U.S. EPA Challenge Water #2 with added bacteria and cyst surrogates (fluorescent microspheres) was used to evaluate the filter prototype designs prior to testing according to U.S. EPA Guide Standard and Protocol for Testing Microbiological Water Purifiers in a commercial laboratory. The filter design and mock challenge experiment results indicated that a 2-ply filter with one nominal and one absolute layer was the optimal filter design. In the mock U.S. EPA challenge tests, a flowrate of 20 mL/min allowed this filter met the turbidity, bacteria, and microsphere removal requirements determined by the WHO and The Sphere Project for emergency drinking water treatment as well as the U.S. EPA Guide Standard and Protocol for Testing Microbiological Water Purifiers.. This filter design was further tested using the U.S. EPA Challenge Water #2 with triplicate waterbags at the U.S. EPA-certified BioVir Laboratories in Benicia, Calif. All three waterbags with envelope filters met the recommendations for turbidity (<5 >NTU) and for virus removal (>4-log removal). Two of the three waterbags met the bacteria and microsphere removal requirements (>6- and >3-log removal, respectively). The failure of one of the prototypes to meet the requirements could have been due to improper setting of valve that throttled the flowrate through the filter or due to a slightly leaking hose pinch valve. Future work should include incorporating more reliable valves and improving the envelope filter design and materials to achieve higher allowable flowrates.

Abstract:
In recent years, the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in natural disaster situations such as earthquakes or heavy rain has attracted a great deal of attention. The flight and safety performance of UAVs continues to evolve over the years. Because UAVs are more maneuverable than helicopters and other manned aircraft, they are being used to quickly assess damage at the scene after an actual natural disaster has happened. UAVs are also expected to be used for transporting relief supplies in the event of a disaster. Therefore, test flights and demonstration tests are being conducted across Japan to transport relief supplies in the event of a disaster. However, there have not been many studies on UAV logistics during large-scale disasters. This paper analyzes the effectiveness of eVTOL aircraft that is expected to perform a role as a next-generation parcel delivery service in normal operations for relief supplies transportation in a large-scale natural disaster, which is likely to occur within a few decades. Based on the results of the analysis, this paper proposes an operational model for eVTOL aircraft for logistics in large-scale natural disasters

Abstract:
Political trust is foundational to democratic legitimacy, representative governance, and the provision of effective public policy. Various shocks can influence this trust, steering countries onto positive or negative trajectories. This study examines whether natural disasters can impact general political trust and if disaster relief efforts can mitigate these effects. We investigate the relationships between disaster, trust, and aid using novel survey data collected before and after a 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck Mexico City in September 2017. Our findings reveal that the disaster resulted in an 11% decrease in general political trust. Additionally, we demonstrate that geographical proximity to disaster relief efforts may counterbalance this decline in trust. This study contributes to the scholarship on the politics of disasters and offers policy implications, highlighting the role of disaster assistance in potentially restoring general political trust after a disaster.
