A cross-category analysis of high impact low occurrence (Hilo) disasters
This paper explores six High Impact Low Occurrence (HILO) disasters, generating insights from five different categories associated with them, namely causes (geophysical, technological, biological, sociological), phases (preparedness, response, recovery), dimensions (socio-economics, governance, equity), sectors (health, education, infrastructure, economy) and national contexts with differing levels of economic development. The process involved th…
Long-term recovery from the 2004 Indian ocean tsunami in two Sri Lankan east coast municipalities
Sri Lanka was the second most affected country after Indonesia, in the 2004 Boxing Day Indian Ocean tsunami (IOT). A study mission was therefore carried out twenty years after the 2004 IOT to assess the recovery of the affected regions, especially in the Eastern region of Sri Lanka, focusing on two of the most affected municipalities, i.e. Kalmunai and Batticaloa. The social and infrastructure characteristics of resettlements/relocations/new sett…
Bridging science and policy in the Global South: The Colombo Framework for Institutionalizing Science Advice
The COVID-19 pandemic - and the inconsistent government responses it revealed - has made the institutionalisation of robust Science Advice to Policymakers (SAP) an urgent imperative. Barring exceptions such as initiatives by the International Network for Governmental Science Advice, very few training programmes aim to develop capacity of policy makers, especially in the Global South. In response to these needs, the National Academy of Sciences of…
Tsunami preparedness within Sri Lanka's education system
Asked what hazard posed the greatest threat to their school, the principals of coastal schools in the Galle, Ampara and Batticaloa districts of Sri Lanka overwhelmingly responded “tsunami”. This result is unsurprising considering the scale and trauma caused by the December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. This tsunami claimed over 35,000 victims in Sri Lanka, a third of whom were children. It damaged and destroyed 182 schools, and a further 287 ser…
