The Risk Communication of COVID-19 Disaster Community Based Through “Keep the Village” Program

The spread of COVID-19 is increasingly massive and it involves local transmission. Facing these issues, community-based risk reduction is truly needed. This study aims to describe the society-based risk communication for COVID-19 disaster prevention through “Keep the Village” program, called Jaga Kampung. This study used a qualitative approach by collecting data through interviews with COVID-19 response volunteers in the Jaga Kampung program in Riau Province, Indonesia. This study finds out that the Jaga Kampung program has the aim to prevent the spread of COVID-19, maintain security stability, and protect people's food needs. The implementation of these activities involves the collaboration of communication actors from the police and the army who works in the village, village leader, village health worker, society leader, and volunteer. The officers of Jaga Kampung convey education and socialization of health risks humanistic and persuasively to villagers and newcomers. Communication is done through face-to-face, outdoor media, and social media such as WhatsApp, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. This community-based risk communication can increase society's participation in the prevention of COVID-19 so that the health and socio-economy of society is maintained.

Disaster mitigation and resiliency learning strategies of teachers during Covid-19 pandemic from several provinces in Indonesia

The Covid-19 disaster changed as well as limited students’ learning space in carrying out learning activities at school. The face-to-face learning process was suspended and transformed into an online system. This education emergency demands rapid changes that must be made by all components of education, especially teachers. The enactment of the regulation on limiting the students’ learning activities required teachers as educational facilitators to be ready and alert in changing the educational pattern. This study described the readiness of teachers and the resilience of teacher strategies in carrying out learning during the pandemic in accordance with teacher competency standards in Law Number 14 of 2005. The research data was collected through observation, questionnaires and interviews. Data analysis was performed using descriptive analysis and questionnaire data scoring. The results showed that according to the four teacher competencies, i.e. pedagogic, personality, social, and professional competences, only personality competency was in the good category range, while the other three components according to the average score are in the moderate category range. Therefore, some improvements on the the mitigation and resilience of teachers' strategies when facing emergency disaster are needed.

Covid-19 catastrophe: Internet based learning and safety among foundation students of Universiti Utara Malaysia

In student-centered learning, UUM Foundation students (FS) must take a more active role in building knowledge. The goal of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of internet-based learning for UUM FS students during the Covid-19 disaster, as well as the ways in which students protect themselves when using the internet. University students have been obliged to go online due to the COVID-19 disaster and the introduction of Movement Control Order (MCO). During the COVID-19 tragedy, there were a number of hurdles that impacted the effectiveness of internet-based learning, including internet connectivity and budgetary difficulties. At this point, even student safety is crucial. The effectiveness of internet-based learning and safety among UUM FS are investigated in this study using a descriptive-normative approach. Physical data collection could not be done due to MCO. A multi-stage sampling procedure was employed to choose 130 pupils from a group of 200. In addition, Google Meet and WhatsApp were used to conduct interviews to obtain replies to questions about internet-based learning and safety. In comparison to before Covid-19, 119 percent of respondents (92 percent) spent more than 4 hours per day. During the Covid-19 disaster, 48 percent or 62 FS preferred Zoom app for internet-based learning, and 56 percent of FS evaluated themselves as having the highest level of safety. In an interview, FS stated that internet-based learning has numerous advantages, including the ability to submit assignments via the e-learning UUM portal, which he considers to be one of the best. FS are also less likely to become infected because they do not have to interact with other people. The study's findings revealed that internet-based learning is quite successful, according to FS. Students' safety is also ensured because they are not needed to leave their homes or places of residence in order to complete their studies. UUM FS must survive, be self-sufficient, and adjust to the changes despite the COVID-19 disaster.

Digital Media as COVID-19 Disaster Information Literacy

Information about COVID-19 in digital media circulating must be confirmed because there are many fake news (hoaxes). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the digital literacy curriculum of Tular Nalar Internet and Disaster Preparedness in order to reduce hoaxes among PKK RW 69 women in Perum MGA Yogyakarta. This study uses an evaluation method oriented to the program's objectives that apply Tyler's model. Evaluation is carried out in the following steps: 1) Establishing program objectives; 2) Classifying objectives; 3) Identify structured objectives; 4) Data collection through: observation, interviews. Data analysis was carried out by assessing the conditions that occurred before, during and after the implementation of the digital literacy curriculum and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that the Tular Nalar digital literacy curriculum in the PKK RW 69 Mitra Griya Asrita community provides awareness in critical thinking. PKK women become “Tahu (know), Tanggap (respond), Tangguh (resilient)” in responding to information in disaster emergency situations.

Covid-19 Disaster Management through Websites and Social Media Regency/City Government in the Special Region of Yogyakarta

The severity of criticism in handling the COVID-19 pandemic has made local governments turn to information and communication technology to back up various important information in mitigating the handling of COVID-19. Although the district/city government in Yogyakarta has taken advantage of digitalization in the operation of its government system, it is still a question mark whether the district/city local government can utilize websites and social media as a means and media for handling COVID -19 effectively and efficiently mapping COVID-19 data. And socialization of its handling to the community. The research method used is descriptive qualitative research to obtain comprehensive data related to disaster management through websites and social media by the district/city government in Yogyakarta. The results show that the use of websites and social media by the Sleman Regency Government and Yogyakarta City Government to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic is utilizing online data sources for early detection of disease; in the form of notification of diagnosed cases, data visualization tools for decision support, namely the use of collecting public health data in real-time, as well as the use of public communications related to the mitigation of the covid-19 pandemic. The conclusion obtained is that the use of pages and social media used by the Sleman Regency Government and the Yogyakarta City Government has similarities in their use, both back office and front office. However, there are differences in information content both on the page and social media users.

Camping, weather, and disasters: Extending the Construal Level Theory

Camping is an outdoor accommodation and type of recreation that is susceptible to weather and climate change. Camping—in addition to the relationships camping shares with weather— remains understudied despite the subsectors’ salient economic impact and high participation rate. The observable effects of non-meteorological/climatological (e.g., pandemic) is also a topic that has received limited attention. Accordingly, we introduce the Camping-Weather-Disaster (CWD) framework to examine the concurrent impact of weather and the COVID-19 disaster on post-disaster camping trip plans among leisure travelers in the 48 contiguous United States (n = 2442). Extending the Construal Level Theory, the CWD framework considers traveler construal (i.e., understanding) of a disaster and psychological distance (i.e., mental frame of reference) from a disaster alongside empirically observable state-level weather and COVID-19 cases. Results demonstrate that (1) concrete construal about timing and distance of travel is positively related to post-disaster camping trip plans; (2) weather is a significant predictor of post-disaster camping trip plans where there are regionally fewer COVID-19 cases; and (3) state-level COVID-19 cases are the most salient predictor of post-disaster camping trip plans where there are regionally more COVID-19 cases. Although the study context is camping, the CWD framework can be applied to other subsectors of tourism to build understanding and adaptive capacity to future natural conditions and disasters.

Pola Asuh Yang Tepat Di Masa Pandemi Covid 19

This journal will discuss fun parenting during a pandemic. This journal aims to describe how parenting patterns are used during the COVID-19 pandemic, so as to create healthy behavior in children, both physically and mentally, even during the Covid-19 disaster. The method used in writing this article is to use a literature review. The results of this article indicate that a fun parenting pattern during the Covid-19 pandemic must prioritize authoritative parenting. This is because during the Covid-19 pandemic, parents have an extra role to play in assisting children to learn online. In this case, of course, parents are required to have appropriate and pleasant parenting in accompanying children while at home. Good behavior emerges from good parenting, and vice versa.

해고위험인식이 반이직의도에 미치는 영향: 자기효능감의 조절역할

This study demonstrated the moderating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between perceived risk of dismissal and intention to stay, and suggested relevant findings. The research sample included full-time front-line employees from a five-star tourist hotel in Seoul. The survey period took place from July 1st to July 10th, 2021, and 280 structured questionnaires were distributed through convenience extraction (The final analysis were used 260 valid copies(93%)). The results are as follows. First, the academic implications are that the causal relationship between employees'' perceived risk of dismissal due to the COVID-19 disaster and intention to stay, as well as the moderating effect of self-efficacy were theoretically proven. Second, the practical implication is that managers and employees need to prepare strategic alternatives to always prepare for the occurrence of unpredictable and uncontrollable situations following the COVID-19 disaster.

Remote Advance Care Planning in the Emergency Department During COVID-19 Disaster: Program Development and Initial Evaluation

BackgroundThe coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic caused an unprecedented surge of patients presenting to emergency departments and forced hospitals to adapt to provide care to patients safely and effectively. The purpose here was to disseminate a novel program developed under disaster conditions to address advance care planning communications. MethodsA program development and initial evaluation was conducted for the Remote Goals of Care program, which was created for families to communicate patient goals of care and reduce responsibilities of those in the emergency department. ResultsThis program facilitated 64 remote goals of care conversation, with 72% of conversations taking place remotely with families of patients who were unable to participate. These conversations included discussions of patient preferences for care, including code status, presence of caregivers or surrogates, understanding of diagnosis and prognosis, and hospice care. Initially, this program was available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, with gradual reduction in hours as needs shifted. Seven nurses who were unable to work in corona-positive environments but were able to continue working remotely were utilized. Lessons learned include the need for speed and agility of response and the benefit of established relationships between traditionally siloed specialties. Additional considerations include available technology for patients and families and expanding the documentation abilities for remote nurses. A logic model was developed to support potential program replication at other sites. DiscussionUpon initial evaluation, Remote Goals of Care Program was well received and demonstrated promise in decanting the responsibility of goals of care discussions from the emergency department to a calmer, remote setting. In future iterations, additional services and technology adjustments can be made to make this program more accessible to more patients and families. Other facilities may wish to replicate our Remote Goals of Care Program described here.

Netnography and Social Network Analysis: Centrality Actors Reopening Indonesia's Tourism Industry in a Transitional Era

The Covid-19 disease that the World Health Organization (WHO) stated as a pandemic on March 11, 2020 impacts negatively on the tourism industry. It causes the foreign exchange earnings from the tourism sector to decline, and it is the duty of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy to resolve this problem . The implementation of physical distancing as a solution to minimize the spread of the Covid-19 disease has changed society to do more activities online which speeds up the development of digital culture. The researchers examine the structure of relationships between social entities on Twitter regarding the planning of reopening Indonesian tourism. The data collection is conducted from 19 to 23 June 2020, in the transition era. The subject is the official Twitter account of The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, @kamenparekraf. The netnography method was applied to understand social relations in social networks and analyze the structure and patterns of the relations between community members called actors (nodes) and the relations between members called ties. The results showed that the network formed 5 large clusters that were the clusters of @kamenparekraf, @jokowi, @susipudjiastuti, @wishnutama, and @zenicman. The high level of communication intensity on the planning of reopening tourism during the Covid-19 pandemic indicated that the communication network used Twitter as the favorite social media and formed a digital culture in content using #SobatParekraf so that every actor involved indirectly made social relations and became a member of the Twitter social media community. Keywords: Communication networks, Covid-19 disaster, digital culture, netnography, tourism industry.

Central-Local Government dalam Manajemen Bencana Pandemi COVID-19 di Indonesia

The relationship between the local government and the central government in handling COVID 19 in Indonesia is considered very bad because the existing disaster management is considered slow in breaking the chain of the spread of COVID 19. This study focuses on coordination between the central government and local governments where there are many mismatched statements in determining policies in handling COVID 19 which is confusing in the application of handling this COVID 19 disaster. The research method using a systematic literature review is one approach to the literature review method by describing the procedure for selecting publication criteria and/or literature that is reviewed with the aim of getting a broad picture related to a particular topic or issue. The results of the study indicate the need for principles of interaction between local and central government authorities in the task of handling the COVID-19 disaster that has not used a good disaster management strategy, this is because it does not implement the relationship responsibility principles of central-local government interaction so it is necessary to strengthen communication. In addition, during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a complicated bureaucratic system in central-local government interactions

Treating an Epidemic During a Pandemic: Experience Treating Opioid Use Disorder at the Baltimore Convention Center Field Hospital.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, access to addiction treatment has plummeted. At the same time, patients with opioid use disorder are at higher risk of COVID-19 infection and experience worse outcomes. The Baltimore Convention Center Field Hospital (BCCFH), a state-run COVID-19 disaster hospital operated by Johns Hopkins Medicine and the University of Maryland Medical System, continues to operate 14 months into the pandemic to serve as an overflow unit for the state's hospitals. BCCFH staff observed the demand for opioid use disorder care and developed admission criteria, a pharmacy formulary, and case management procedures to meet this need. This article describes generalized lessons from the BCCFH experience treating substance use disorder during a pandemic.

Upaya Mitigasi Spiritual Dalam Menyikapi Pandemi Corona Virus Diseases (Covid-19) Menurut Lontar Roga Sanghara Bhumi

The phenomenon of the Corona Virus Diseases (Covid-19) Pandemic that has occurred in all corners of the world has made the world's internal situation very worrying. However, if you are willing to look back at your historical track record, situations similar to the Covid-19 pandemic have actually been experienced by the world, such as SARS-Coronavirus and MERS-Coronavirus. All of these phenomena have been studied in medical laboratories, but what is very rarely done is an assessment based on existing historical records or data, as in classical Lontar literature as in Lontar Roga Sanghara Bhumi. Three issues were raised in this study: regarding the structure of the text, classifying the Covid-19 pandemic disaster from the Lontar Roga Sanghara Bhumi study and spiritual mitigation efforts in responding to the Covid-19 pandemic disaster from the Lontar Roga Sanghara Bhumi study. This type of research is a qualitative research with a psychological approach. The data obtained were collected using library techniques and document recording. The data that has been collected is then analyzed with qualitative descriptive techniques and hermeneutics. The results of this study indicate that the content structure is structured in the format of formal structure (manggala, corpus, epilogue, language) and narrative structure (theme and aspects of speech). If classified, the Covid-19 disaster in the text of Lontar Roga Sanghara Bhumi is included in a Non-Natural Disaster, which is categorized as a Grubug Agung phenomenon or a pandemic outbreak on a wide scale. There are several spiritual mitigation efforts in responding to Covid-19 according to Lontar Roga Sanghara Bhumi, including; (1) Preventive Efforts, in the form of spiritual-based isolation and social distancing efforts, drawing closer to God and fortifying oneself with spiritual means, (2) Curative Efforts, in the form of alternative treatments with tattwa and spiritual ethics as well as through ritual means (yajña), and (3) Promotive Efforts, in the form of suggestions to deepen the knowledge of God, ethics and morality, yaja and deepen the knowledge of usada

COVID-19 disaster response: South African disaster managers' faith in mandating legislation tested?

For the first time in the history of the Disaster Management Act, 57 of 2002, South Africa declared COVID-19 an epidemiological disaster. Section 3 and 27(1) of this Act activated the responsible Minister in consultation with other Ministers to issue regulations in response to the disaster. The declaration exposed the already criticised Act to scrutiny by the public. Therefore, this study investigated the Metropolitan Disaster Management Centres that coordinate local events and support the provincial and national disaster management centres, their perceptions concerning the disaster management legislation that mandates them. The study recognised a gap in this regard and saw it imperative to give the disaster managers a voice and a platform to express their opinion concerning the heavily criticised legislation. A model of the policy implementation process guided the study investigation. This model argues that implementation of policies tends to generate tensions, which result in a disruption of the policy formulators’ expectations. The research uses some of the model’s variables to measure the perceptions of disaster managers. Using an interview guide, the researchers conducted virtual interviews with the disaster managers. Scholarly and media articles review concerning the Act formed part of the data collection. The study finds that the disaster managers perceive the disaster management legislation as a very useful guide, an excellent piece of legislation and trust it regardless of the criticism it received. The gaps the critics identified in the legislation became evident and had negative effects on the COVID-19 disaster response.

A Post-Corona Perspective for Smart Cities: ‘Should I Stay or Should I Go?’

This exploratory essay aims to provide a reflection on the possible implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for urban development and to sketch a plausible picture of the urban future. It serves as an introductory contribution to the Special Issue of this journal on ‘happy and healthy cities’, with particular emphasis on the implications of COVID-19 in pluriform cities. There is no doubt that contemporary cities are growing, and have become more dynamic and crowded. The more people, the bigger the challenges are to manage urban growth and to cope with—and control—density frictions, such as pandemics (e.g., COVID-19). Cities have the task to satisfy the essential needs of many heterogeneous people and to develop appropriate people-based strategies in order to make or keep people happy and healthy. The current COVID-19 disaster is a real urban challenge. The deployment of smart cities’ strategies and the use of digital technology tools in order to capture and provide intelligent internal and external online information and communication opportunities may help cities—in active partnership with their residents (‘smart citizens’ voice’)—to manage shocks and disruptions in the urban system. Clearly, cities are dynamic and adaptive organisms with a high resilience capacity. A key question addressed in this paper is whether urban inhabitants may be inclined to move out of the city due to human health threats, or whether intelligent digital technology tools will be able to overcome the current challenges to the ‘urban way of life’. The paper argues that modern information and communication technology offers a range of opportunities for a healthy city life, so that the COVID-19 pandemic will most likely not lead to a massive demographic outflow from urban agglomerations to less densely populated areas in particular rural areas. Instead, what is called the ‘corona crisis’ may cause just a ripple in the permanent dynamic evolution of cities.

COVID-19 pandemic and disaster preparedness in the context of public health laws and policies

Background: The Integrated Disease Surveillance Project (IDSP), 2004 addresses disaster preparedness, disease surveillance, disease data to respond to epidemics. The 12th Five Year Plan envisages disease surveillance for district-level laboratories and epidemic-centric diagnostic centers in consultation with the National Informatics Centers (NIC) and Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). Objectives: These health policies need a critical appraisal in the COVID-19 pandemic and disaster preparedness in India’s system. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoH&FW) and Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) pandemic cum disaster mitigation strategy analysed from risk mitigation to public health emergency in disaster management. The three-tier network labs and diagnostic centers, disease surveillance and disaster preparedness examined critically in the context of Disaster Management Act (DMA), 2005. Methodology: The methodology of the study derives from European disaster management response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) India Chapter and National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM) disaster management strategies utilized as model for the epidemic and pandemic control. The SIR epidemiological model for the COVID-19 mortality applied in the emergency paradigm of health care system in COVID-19 pandemic. Results: COVID-19 pandemic and disaster preparedness in India revolves around the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860 and Epidemic Diseases Act (EDA), 1897 Disaster Management Act (DMA), 2005, and Epidemic Diseases (Amendment) Ordinance, 2020. The sordid and wise experiences for the Disaster Management and COVID-19 pandemic culminate into 5 Ps Disaster Management adopted by India.5 It spells out the proof of concept with social experiment, proactive approach, people management, partnership, preparation, and collaboration. Conclusion: The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) assumes a pivotal role in controlling the infection and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic under the WHO Guideline of the disaster management cycle having a multi-component approach. The COVID-19 pandemic and disaster preparedness in India’s health system moved from risk mitigation to public health emergency in disaster management.
