Capabilities and challenges of Chinese women in community-based disaster management: evidence from urban, rural and minority rural communities

This paper examines households' participation in community-based disaster management in western Nepal based on the secondary and primary data sets under the framework of explorative and descriptive statistics. As a result of the study, multi-hazards occurred. Out of these multi-hazards, the catchment areas and the community were disaster-prone by flood and landslide more than other hazards: insects, drought, animals, etc. in terms of severity and frequency. Further, the community-based disaster management that was proactive and participatory to assess disasters, hazard locations, and their impacts made stakeholders to the community for their participation, ownership, and resilience. In community-based disaster management, the household was actively participatory not only in pre-disaster, disaster, and post-disaster focusing on preparedness and planning more than rescue and reconstruction, rehabilitation, and recovery. Its economic cost is 78 mean days per household. It is 21 percent of a year (365 days) calendar. Its mean wage income loss is 39000 Nepali Rupees (330 USD) per annum that is 30 percent of 1071 USD per capita. Thus, the rural household has a significant economic cost of CBDMG activity to be resilient from multi natural hazards. However, it can reduce multi times the disastrous cost to them. Its outcome may not be positive to household income, welfare, and poverty reduction. Thus, the community-based disaster management approach is effective was in terms of less time, fewer resources but the quick response.

Impact of information seeking, disaster preparedness and typhoon emergency response on perceived community resilience in Hong Kong

This study inspects community-based disaster management (CBDM) in Nepal. Employing secondary and primary data, the study used descriptive statistics tool. Firstly, the study identified multiple natural risks (flood and landslide). Secondly, in the practice of CBDM, the collective action was found mainly on planning of disaster calendar, early warning, preparedness, and rehabilitation. Thirdly, there was mean salary income loss per annum (330 USD). It is one third of national per capita. Having a significant economic cost, CBDM reduced effectively humanitarian and economic cost of the community. Thus, CBDM is effective collective action to be resilient at the community. Therefore, mainstreaming CBDMG in multi-hazard risk management program, the government should improve its technical capacity and performance by training &equipment for disaster resilience. This study is expected to contribute disaster risk reduction program of the local, province and central government and also preparedness to resilient.

This study discusses community-based disaster management efforts in Indonesia, primarily through the Disaster Alert Village program in Jatibening Baru Subdistrict, Bekasi City. The aim is to analyze the implementation of Community Based Disaster Management (CBDM) within the Disaster Alert Village program, focusing on disaster mitigation, priority handling, disaster management performance evaluation, and resource mobilization. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method and refers to the theory of Community-Based Disaster Management by Paripurno (2006). In order to raise public awareness regarding disaster risks and minimize their impacts, programs like Disaster Alert Village are highly relevant and necessary for implementation in disaster-prone areas. Collaborative efforts between the government and the community form a crucial foundation for addressing the challenges of disasters in Indonesia.

China is a disaster-prone country, and these disasters have diverse characteristics, a wide scope of distribution, high frequency, and large losses. China has advanced community-based disaster management (CBDM) capacity. Community is the bottom unit of the society, and CBDM is the foundation of the entire society’s disaster management system. A series of domestic major emergency incidents and disasters and international disaster reduction activities have promoted the formation of the CBDM concept, the implementation of capacity building activities, and the improvement of policy and laws. Thus far, the CBDM system has been preliminarily formed in China, and relevant rules and regulations have been promulgated and implemented. Furthermore, disaster reduction activities, such as the construction of the national comprehensive disaster reduction community and national safe community, have been promoted nationwide. As a result, China’s disaster-resistance capacity has largely improved. However, it is only in the initial phase of CBDM implementation, which remains plagued by several challenges and problems, such as the deficiency of community resident participation, management organizations, disaster risk assessment methods, NGO development, and safety culture cultivation.

Background: Community-based interventions can be effective due to the active participations of communities in pre- and post-disaster planning and management. Effective community-based disaster management for health promotion can be achieved by learning from the successful local and international experiences of community participations. Thus, this study is aimed to identify the community active participation approaches which were effective in promoting the health of disaster-affected communities.
 Methods: This systematic review was conducted and reported based on PRISMA guideline. Web of Sciences, PubMed and Scopus were searched using the selected keywords. The inclusion criteria were all forms of published articles which studied the approaches of community active participations for improving their health in disasters. The selection of articles was conducted using the titles and abstracts. Data analysis was done based on the categorization of different community-based disaster management approaches.
 Results: 10 articles were finally selected out of 2843 documents generated by initial search. Asian countries considered community involvements in disaster management the most (40%). The most community active participations in disaster management were conducted in the recovery phase (80%). Approaches of community-based disaster management for the health promotion were two-way university-community participation, focusing on empowering specific community groups, governance, and localizing community participation as well as strengthening social networks.
 Conclusion: Considering the capacities of academic institutions for active participation in community-based disaster management according to the Yokohama, Hyogo and Sendai Framework is highly suggested. Further research is needed to explore the challenges of community communication and information in disasters.

The discourse of disaster management has undergone significant change in recent years, shifting from relief and response to disaster risk reduction (DRR) and community-based management. Organisations and vulnerable countries engaged in DRR have moved from a reactive, top-down mode to proactive, community-focused disaster management. In this article, we focus on how national disaster management policy initiatives in Bangladesh are implementing community-based approaches at the local level and developing cross-scale partnerships to reduce disaster risk and vulnerability, thus enhancing community resilience to disasters. We relied chiefly on secondary data, employing content analysis for reviewing documents, which were supplemented by primary data from two coastal communities in Kalapara Upazila in Patuakhali District. Our findings revealed that to address the country’s vulnerabilities to natural disasters, the Government of Bangladesh has developed and implemented numerous national measures and policies over the years with the aim of strengthening community-focused risk reduction, decentralising disaster management, developing cross-scale partnerships and enhancing community resilience. Communities are working together to achieve an all-hazard management goal, accepting ownership to reduce vulnerability and actively participating in risk-reduction strategies at multiple levels. Community-based disaster preparedness activities are playing a critical role in developing their adaptive capacity and resilience to disasters. Further policy and research are required for a closer examination of the dynamics of community-based disaster management, the role of local-level institutions and community organisations in partnerships and resilience building for successful disaster management.

This article examines the legal and institutional challenges facing community- based disaster management in Tanzania. This study employed qualitative methods to analyse the legislative and institutional framework governing disaster management in Tanzania. Data was gathered through interviews and focused group discussions with stakeholders engaged in disaster management in Tanzania. The study results indicate that government actors acknowledge the significance of community-based disaster management. However, the integration of local communities in the disaster management process is impeded by various legal and institutional challenges. There exists a notable discrepancy between the policy and legislation governing disaster management. Additionally, the allocation of funds for disaster management is limited, and the avenues for public participation are ineffective. The requirement for sufficient integration of local communities is necessary to foster community-based disaster management. The study suggests a range of legal and institutional changes to improve the integration of communities in the disaster management process. These proposed reforms include legal empowerment of local communities, acknowledging the value of indigenous knowledge, strengthening disaster management committees by offering financial assistance and promoting greater involvement of the civil society.
