Abstract:
Disasters are diversified in all aspects: they range from storms and tornadoes to earthquakes, tsunamis and cyclones etc. They affect a range of countries. Most disasters are caused by geographical factors. The overall response depends on the wealth of a country. For example, Japan is better prepared than Nepal or Haiti. Disaster responses are multidimensional and are assumed to be effective. From a service quality perspective, groups of responders provide services to victims. Effectiveness and efficiency of victim services are perhaps two outcome measures. Unfortunately, published studies on evaluation of disaster responses are sparse to nonexistent. The intent of this study is to develop a preliminary method for assessing the perceived effectiveness and efficiency (service quality) from the perspectives of both the responders and the victims. A method (preliminary) is proposed in which all anticipated attributes and outcomes are measured. Regression is the proposed modeling tool. It is hoped that the proposed preliminary method will facilitate the preparedness of the response teams and give rise to a permanent method.

Abstract:
The social service of Tangerang District is a government institution that caters to the social welfare problem and one of the services that will be discussed is the service of disaster victims in the district of Tangerang that have not been computerised so that the running system is less efficient. The process of service that is still having difficulty due to the collection of disaster victims is still far from the word accurate and to get the service should often visit the office so it takes a lot of wasted time. Since the system is running less efficiently, a Disaster Victim Service Application has been made which is computerized and runs more efficiently. The method used in data collection is observation, interviews, and literature study. In analyzing a system using the PIECES method (Performance), (Information), (Economy), (Control), (Efficiency), (Service) to make it easier to analyze the running system and provide solutions in making application programs and writers in making application design with visual modelling using UML (Unified Modelling Language) to make a diagram, Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) as a programming language, and MySQL as a database to be used in the system. The results of the design discuss how to create a system that runs and the proposed system and the existence of this system can facilitate service employees in receiving accurate reports so as to shorten the time of handling in serving victims affected by disasters.

Abstract:
Disasters test civil administrations’ and health services’ capacity to act in a flexible but well-coordinated manner because each disaster is unique and poses unusual challenges. The health services required differ markedly according to the nature of the disaster and the geographical spread of those affected. Epidemiology has shown that services need to be equipped to deal with major depressive disorder and grief, not just posttraumatic stress disorder, and not only for victims of the disaster itself but also the emergency service workers. The challenge is for specialist advisers to respect and understand the existing health care and support networks of those affected while also recognizing their limitations. In the initial aftermath of these events, a great deal of effort goes into the development of early support systems but the longer term needs of these populations are often underestimated. These services need to be structured, taking into account the pre-existing psychiatric morbidity within the community. Disasters are an opportunity for improving services for patients with posttraumatic psychopathology in general but can later be utilized for improving services for victims of more common traumas in modern society, such as accidents and interpersonal violence.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTHow did the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing differ from prior disasters and what implications did it have for disaster mental health services and service delivery? The federal disaster mental health approach in this country developed largely out of experiences with natural disasters. The 1995 Oklahoma City bombing differed in several important ways, including the large number of human casualties, higher rates of psychopathology, and an extended period of concern due to the criminal investigation and trials, which suggested the need to consider modifications in the program. Outreach was extensive, but psychiatric morbidity of direct victims was greater than that of victims of natural disasters, emphasizing the need for attention to the triage and referral process. Other concerns that warrant consideration include practices related to record keeping and program evaluation.

Abstract:
Several earthquake incidents in the East Java province have resulted in numerous disadvantages such as damaged buildings and victims that were physically and emotionally wounded. The problem that has arisen in these situations is how victims of natural disasters often receive late responses and little to no information about relief efforts from authorities. Local governments and disaster relief organizations have not initiated the right method of communication to give important information toward disaster victims when information technologies have developed rapidly. The present study opt for a qualitative research design to conduct the interviews from the victims of disaster living nearby Malang and Blitar regencies of Indonesia. It examines how people living in earthquake-prone regions are communicating during the disaster using smartphones and social networking services. The findings of the research show that people living in the disaster-risk areas use mobile phones, smartphones, and social networking services in their daily life; yet, not many of them using these devices and services to look for information about earthquakes. Although authorities have created digital channels as a source of information, it does not receive significant attention and interest of the people at risk. The problems with uneven digital media literacy and lack of resources remain unresolved. Cooperation between authorities and people is expected, to ensure that the use of existing communication technologies becomes more effective and efficient in earthquake relief efforts and countermeasures.

Abstract:
The objective of this research is to develop an information processing procedure that is capable of integrating various data sources for the purpose of building a centralized victims’ database that can be utilized throughout the city to support various relief activities. In most cities stricken by disaster, availability of data resources is limited in both quantity and quality. However, it is vital to build an accurate Victims’ Database promptly in order to provide satisfactory services to disaster victims. Therefore, this paper proposes GeoWrap, a new methodology in information processing, that can maximize available datasets of differing accuracy while building accurate databases. GeoWrap effectiveness is examined by developing the victim database for Kashiwazaki City in Japan.

Abstract:
Disasters create specific problems shaped by both the type of event (earthquake, volcanic eruption, war) and its consequences (sudden or gradual impact on the victims).The process that unleashes a disaster is often more complex than appears at first glance. For example, drought is obviously caused by poor climatic conditions, but it may also be precipitated by human behaviour detrimental to the environment.While internal conflicts do not always have a direct and major impact on civilians beyond the casualties they claim, the breakdown of local services, particularly medical care and food supply, may have dire effects on health and nutrition, so that the entire civilian population falls victim to the situation.

Abstract:
Aim: The most crucial step in rescue operations is the safety of rescuers. Two critical points were addressed to contribute to the literature. The first point is that the intervention of the rescuers together with the local people before ensuring the safety may result in more catastrophic disasters, and the second point is the course of avalanche victims after being rescued. Method: After the avalanche disaster that occurred in February 2020, the team, who went to help, was exposed to the avalanche disaster that happened again. A total of 65 people were rescued with injuries in both disasters. Data of patients admitted to neighboring hospitals (secondary and tertiary healthcare facilities) in Van province and 112 Emergency Health Services data were recorded. Result: 41 avalanche victims died, 40 were out of the hospital and one victim in a local secondary healthcare facility. Among the 65 rescued people, one was admitted to the intensive care unit, 8 underwent emergency surgery, 40 were admitted to the hospital for follow-up purposes, and 16 were discharged after initial treatment in the emergency department. Of the patients, 63 were male, one was female, and the mean age was 36.39 years. Conclusion: The primary strategy in an avalanche disaster is to stay in the safe zone. As with all major disasters, various types of injuries can occur. Although the priority is to reduce deaths, determining the most common injury areas of individuals exposed to disasters will help prevent possible deaths and disabilities.

Full text
Abstract:
Women as a group hold little power in the social system which increases women's vulnerability to domestic violence. According to Merton (1970), social problems may be revealed through the disaster recovery process. A coraHunity1s organizational response to social problems such as wife abuse depends upon organizational members' perceptions. The data suggest that organizational perceptions of domestic violence largely depend upon the setting or environment in which an organization exists and operates. A second factor that greatly determines an organization's perception of domestic violence after disaster is organizational type. Organizations which provide services to domestic violence victims pre-disaster are more likely to perceive domestic violence following disaster than organizations which do not provide domestic violence related services prior to disaster.

Abstract:
Recent natural disasters around the globe have left individuals without shelter. Governments have shown slow response for these victims with examples seen from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. People are still living in structures that are hazardous to their health, insufficient for normal day activity, and socially unacceptable. With the rising numbers of victims and the slow response of governments to provide solutions, a new typology must be designed. This thesis proposes a new typology that will create a responsive design that is efficient, aesthetic, environmentally conscious, and ready for implementation. Transitional housing can be defined as housing that is used during the rebuilding phase for the victims. It is not just an emergency shelter, but a structure that provides a return to normalcy for the victim. For the design to be efficient it must be easily constructed, shipped, and assembled on site. Aesthetic design, for the purpose of this project, refers to a typology that will be socially acceptable with the user and the surrounding community. Environmentally conscious design reflects energy independence and minimizing waste production. Design that is ready for implementation will include legislation that defines how what should be used for aid towards victims. With my interest in the efficiency of the construction of the project I intend to build a full scale model of the typology to exhaust all the requirements of construction. Research into design for manufacturing and fabrication will be conducted in order to obtain knowledge of the aspect of construction. In order to produce efficient shipping and assembly methods, companies that utilize these systems will be researched. To achieve aesthetic design, a study of contemporary architecture for small scale structures will be used and interaction with victims and communities will be established, as well as reviewing previous works designed for humanitarian aid. By studying technologies for household environmental sustainability, new concepts can be developed for use in this typology. Detailed focus on passing legislation that allows victims to access these properly designed shelters can prevent the use of substandard living facilities found in FEMA trailer communities.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the processes through which sexual trafficking is currently emerging as an identified, spoken about and acted upon social problem, and finds that a dominant story on sexual trafficking appears to be emerging in the UK. The thesis argues that this dominant story frequently fails to reflect the continuum of experience(s) lived, and thereafter recounted, by those women it concerns. As a result, policies and services are developed which are incapable of reflecting or meeting the needs of trafficked women’s multifarious experience(s). In this respect, the thesis explores the social consequences related to the telling of stories, as well as the social and cultural processes within which stories are and/or may be told (Plummer 1995). Through focusing upon trafficking victims’/survivors’ ability to seek and/or receive help and assistance in the UK context, the thesis finds that the dominance of one public narrative or story on sexual trafficking is problematic for trafficked women when accessing help and assistance, especially if their stories fail to “fit”. On the other hand, at other times, where women’s stories do “fit”, help and services have been accessed through the telling of the dominant sexual trafficking story. The thesis explores how these discourses interact and change over time where trafficked women encounter UK police officers and immigration officials, and when trafficked women apply for asylum to remain in the UK. Parallels have been drawn throughout the thesis with similar, and related, situations documented by feminist researchers where representations of prostitution, rape and/or intimate partner violence within legal or social frameworks are not reflective of the complexity of those realities (Hamner 1989; Kelly & Radford 1996; Lees 1996a 1996b; Self 2003; Stanko 2007).

Abstract:
AbstractThe problem that is often encountered in every natural disaster is material damage and even loss of life; thus, systematic steps to reduce or prevent the impact of disasters are needed. A quick response is the main thing to carry out disaster management when a disaster occurs. The steps taken are mobilizing and deploying emergency services to protect people and reduce material damage within the affected areas. The primary response to minimize the impact is to distribute humanitarian aid. The distribution of aid includes 2 aspects: the speed of delivery of aid and the fulfillment of all the needs of disaster victims. This aspect is related to predicting the amount and time of distribution of necessities to be adequately distributed. Prediction of demand and distribution is influenced by many factors, including distance, availability of vehicles, number of affected people, operational time of aid providers, local conditions such as roads, needs of population groups, etc. This study aims to modify the existing mathematical model for the Multi-Objective Location-Transportation Problem. This modification was carried out to determine the number and time of effective delivery of essential goods based on heterogeneous vehicle capacities. This model was then applied to a case study for the distribution of goods during a volcanic eruption using data from Mount Bromo, East Java, Indonesia. The model development and application results in the case study show information on the number and timing of effective delivery of essential humanitarian aid items based on the available vehicle capacity at the location according to the conditions of the disaster location.

Abstract:
In the Russian Federation, almost 30,000 people are killed and about 250,000 people are injured in road accidents per year. Road traffic injuries rank third in the world among the causes of mortality. Road traffic injuries is a problem that occupies one of the leading places in a number of social, medical, demographic and economic problems that face society and the state. The article deals with the organization of medical care for patients with injuries of different nature, received as a result of road traffic accidents. The purpose of the work - based on the data obtained, to identify key points that will help emergency service specialists, doctors and employees of transportation services to improve the process of providing first aid and medical assistance to victims of road accidents. In this paper we have paid attention to the important, in our opinion, aspects that can help in solving this problem. The study found out that the performance of policies regarding road safety is still a problematic issue. Undoubtedly, first aid training programs for ordinary citizens should follow the principles established by WHO. It is necessary to improve the professional competence of employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Ministry of Internal Affairs, road services, etc., providing first aid to victims of road accidents through mandatory cyclical training in the territorial centers of disaster medicine of the subjects of the Russian Federation.

Abstract:
The GHG indicator based on the data collected in Georgia in 2015 was 17.6 mt. CO2 eq. GHG emissions are generated in 7 sectors: energy generation, transportation, construction, industry, agriculture, waste management and Forestry. Increase of CO2 in Georgia is greatly affected by urban activities- namely exhaust fumes and poor quality of fuel. 10% of carbon dioxide in atmosphere is combustion product. All atmosphere protection operations in Georgia are regulated in the frameworks of official state program, which groups all the emissions connected with energetics, climate strategy and transport through sectors. In 2015 total GHG emission in the sector of transportation was up to 24% (Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture of Georgia, 2019). In previous years (2015) transportation GHG emission was up to 68% in total. Various types of transportation data: car emission-88%, bus emission 5% and minibus emission-6%. 32% of emission falls on railway and agricultural technology. 29% falls on trucks. Characteristics of transportation GHG emissions data in Georgia up to 2023 remains the following: electricity is mostly consumed by the railway, which includes Tbilisi underground train service. Expense is only 1% of electricity. Considering basic data collected in the sector of agriculture, by 2030 increase in Agricultural emission will probably be about 40% more compared to the initial data. That is 4.63 mt. CO2 eq. Within livestock, ruminant livestock remains main source of emissions, that is in 2015 92% of Enteric fermentation emission and 82% of emission was due to dung waste emission. These forms still remain as main sources of emission till 2030. Agricultural development is of high priority in Georgia. Strategically, main focus will be made on forming and launching the climate-oriented agricultural practices. In the future sustainable business will be the chief foundation determining a reasonable growth and development of the field of agriculture. Considering the climate change, drastic measures should be taken in order to prevent or avoid natural disasters. Vivid example of the climate change is a tragic disaster that happened in one of the regions of Georgia, Ratcha, Shovi on the 3rd of August, 2023. As a result of landslide several tons of mass almost completely covered resort Shovi. 220 people were rescued, 30 died and rescuers are searching for more victims. As survivors claim, landslide covered the surrounding area of so-called “Cottage district” in just 3-4 seconds, ruining all the infrastructure, bridges and caused death of several people. The natural disaster was a result of melting glaciers both locally and in the oceans worldwide. Global warming is responsible for such devastating disasters.

Abstract:
Facial Recognition Technology (FRT) has the potential to enhance emergency response by improving efficiency, reducing response times, and potentially saving lives. It is important to explore both the benefits and challenges of implementing FRT in emergency response protocols and identify the gaps in research on its application in emergency response. This integrative review collected articles from 2010 onwards through keyword searches in titles and abstracts across multiple databases, with inclusion and exclusion criteria applied, focusing on English-language peer-reviewed articles mentioning specific keywords related to emergency services and facial recognition. Data collection involved converting PDFs to plain text and coding--both human and non-human--for thematic analysis refined over rounds of close readings for accuracy. The results reveal positive and mixed findings regarding FRT in emergency response across various studies. Several methodologies were employed, including machine learning and deep learning techniques, achieving high accuracy rates in identifying individuals, particularly in scenarios like disaster rescue and masked-face recognition during the COVID-19 pandemic. Studies also evaluated FRT's effectiveness in disaster victim identification, safety systems integration, and medical applications, showcasing its potential across different contexts. However, limitations such as challenges in real-world deployment, concerns regarding privacy and bias, and the need for further validation and standardization were highlighted across the studies, indicating areas for future research and development to enhance the technology's efficacy and ethical use. The review emphasizes the importance of addressing technical, ethical, and governance challenges to deploy FRT effectively and responsibly in emergency response, serving as a valuable resource for stakeholders and researchers seeking to understand and advance the field.

Abstract:
In 2022 and 2023, the CSA Centre carried out a major research project to better understand the provision and availability of support services in England and Wales for people affected by child sexual abuse. Our research identified a wide range of dedicated and committed services providing support to victims/survivors through a diverse and often innovative delivery offer. Yet it was clear that this fell a long way short of meeting the need for support, and that many services were on a precarious and uncertain financial footing. A ‘postcode lottery’ was evident in terms of the likelihood that victims/survivors could access support that met their needs, although there was shortage everywhere. This document summarises the research findings and their implications, with a particular focus on the support available for adults who have been sexually abused as children.

Full text
Abstract:
Efforts to support help-seeking by victims of partner violence in couples affected by incarceration represent a key part of larger efforts in the fields of domestic violence and victim services to improve the accessibility of services in marginalized communities and better meet complex victim needs. Qualitative data from 167 Multi-site Family Study participants suggest that involvement with the criminal justice system (whether directly or through a family member) introduces unique individual, interpersonal, and sociocultural barriers to defining one’s experiences as a problem, deciding to seek help, and selecting sources of help. Opportunities exist not only to tailor service delivery approaches in ways that overcome the individual and interpersonal obstacles that affect victims but also to pursue longer-range shifts in public policy and community infrastructure that will address broader and more-entrenched barriers to help-seeking.
