Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most expensive and destructive threats facing millions of people around the world. Policymakers generally have a linear worldview and can help the economy and society to track epidemic shocks and crises by pulling the right levers. For example, in recent years, Ebola, MERS, Zika, and SARS have demonstrated a limited willingness to respond promptly and responsibly. The pandemic emphasizes the need to be more proactive. Yet, existing epidemic response frameworks are either disease-specific, category-specific, or non-specific, with no comprehensive framework encompassing all components of institutional resilience. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic requires a holistic approach to meet the challenges. In this study, the goal of resilience to the outbreak of the epidemic is to develop an overall framework by identifying institutional departments to strengthen resilience planning. The framework can guide evidence-based decision-making and prioritization. This article encapsulates a framework that focuses on the interactions between processes and their system characteristics, which leads to an overemphasis on a limited number of features, significantly enhancing the flexibility of the organization

Highlights

Summary

Introduction

Environmental emergencies were rarely prioritized in catastrophe planning, development sustainability, or business continuity. Health catastrophes of the magnitude that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought to the world's attention necessitate a rigorous study of the processes and dangers of such environmental and health outbreaks. This is crucial to comprehending the emerging issues surrounding low-frequency high-intensity disasters such as pandemics, tsunamis, floods, liquefaction, water contamination emergencies, landslide, or volcanic eruptions causing death and food shortages in specific areas. The lessons learned from this pandemic calamity are helpful for health and social systems and for the economy and business sectors, environmental protection, and the pursuit of sustainable development goals. Management, and public policy intend to use this study as a knowledge support system and reading reference, especially for Indonesian scholars
