Community preparedness for tsunami disaster
Purpose The main objective of this study is to develop a tsunami emergency response plan for a coastal community by adopting a community‐based disaster preparedness approach. Design/methodology/approach A multi‐strategy research design utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods was used. The weaknesses and strengths of the different agencies involved in responding to the 2004 tsunami disaster were identified through a focus group discuss…
Comprehensive planning and the role of SDSS in flood disaster management in Malaysia
Purpose To present a comprehensive flood management plan for Malaysia, the various planning stages and the proponents of the plan. It is also to expound and highlight the importance of spatial information technology in the strategy and to outline the critical decision‐making at various levels of the plan. Design/methodology/approach A review of flood disaster management aimed at providing an insight into the strategies for a comprehensive flood d…
Spatial information technology in flood early warning systems
Malaysia experiences a major flood event every three years due to the adverse effects of two monsoon seasons a year. Floods have thus become the most significant natural disaster in the country in terms of the population affected, frequency, aerial extent, financial cost and the disruption to socio‐economic activities. Many previous flood control measures have had different levels of success but have generally had little effect in reducing the pr…
GIS‐grid‐based and multi‐criteria analysis for identifying and mapping peat swamp forest fire hazard in Pahang, Malaysia
Peat swamp forest fire hazard areas were identified and mapped by integrating GIS-grid-based and multi-criteria analysis to provide valuable information about the areas most likely to be affected by fire in the Pekan District, south of Pahang, Malaysia. A spatially weighted index model was implemented to develop the fire hazard assessment model used in this study. Fire-causing factors such as land use, road network, slope, aspect and elevation da…
