Developing gender‐sensitive post‐disaster needs assessment national guideline based on the impacts of 2019 Iran floods
In this paper, the outline of national guideline for gender‐sensitive post‐disaster needs assessment (PDNA) that was developed based on the experiences of 2019 Iran floods is presented. Accordingly, at first, the baseline information on female‐headed households, elderly, disabled women and the employment situation of females that should be collected before the disaster is introduced. Then, the mechanism for evaluation the effects and impacts of d…
From “Earthquake and safety” school drills to “safe school-resilient communities”
Use of comic strips in teaching earthquakes to kindergarten children
Purpose – Up to now, no extensive work has addressed the capacity and resiliency of pre-school children, nor the importance of extending disaster preparedness education to them. The purpose of this paper is to show that given the right learning tools to engage them, in this case a comic strip designed for this purpose by the first author, pre-school children are able to demonstrate the extent of their learning well. Design/methodology/approach – …
A comparative study on community‐based disaster management in selected countries and designing a model for Iran
Purpose Iran is located among the top disaster‐prone countries in the world and, therefore, disaster management is considered to be one of the most important issues in this country. One of the existing and worldwide approaches for managing disasters is the so‐called community‐based disaster management (CBDM). Community participation means that people's contribution in the disaster management cycle can be started from the basic steps of a process …
Sustainable neighbourhood earthquake emergency planning in megacities
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify and discuss the main prerequisites which are deemed for successful disaster mitigation activities in megacities by considering various aspects related to disaster risk reduction. Design/methodology/approach The paper provides a general background with regard to the social and cultural patterns for involving local people to participate in the activities related to awareness raising before, and savin…
Training emergency managers for earthquake response
Purpose This paper aims to highlight the crucial role of decision makers and emergency managers in reducing the unpleasant consequences of disasters. Design/methodology/approach An attempt has been made to clarify the measures for planning and implementation of training issues in earthquake emergency response for the emergency managers as an essential part at various managerial levels. Findings The paper reveals that, although the high‐level mana…
Management of floods in Malawi
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse some vital aspects of floods in Malawi by examining the case study of the Lower Shire River Valley. Whilst the world has many wars taking place and causing unbearable human suffering, natural disasters are also taking their toll on humanity in various ways. The threats of the flood hazard have become complex and interrelated whilst the number of the vulnerable is growing fast. Floods have not spared…
Tsunami early warning system (EWS) and its integration within the chain of seismic safety
Purpose This paper aims to provide a broad overview of the South Asian tsunami in relation to the development of the early warning system (EWS) as well as its integration within the seismic safety chain. Design/methodology/approach The paper focuses on social and administrative aspects that require detailed attention as key elements within the overall system. The observations grow from experience gained by Ian Davis from working on the UK IDNDR F…
Earthquake disaster risk management planning in schools
Purpose – This paper aims to develop an appropriate earthquake disaster management system for Iranian schools with a main focus on non-structural problems of schools during disasters. Design/methodology/approach – A framework is proposed for disaster management planning regarding earthquakes in three phases: before, during, and after an earthquake. A detailed description of the proposed management system is also presented with special application…
Earthquake disaster management planning in health care facilities
Equipping health care facilities for times of natural disasters especially earthquakes is of great importance all over the world, especially in developing countries such as Iran. In this paper, first the obtained research results are discussed with regard to the types of structures and the structural and non‐structural problems of 110 hospitals in the capital city of Tehran. The earthquake safety procedures for health care facilities, standards a…
