▼ This study explored the experiences of 10 leaders in their intentional six-month implementation, during the 2010-2011Christchurch earthquakes, of an adapted positive leadership model. The study concluded that the combination of strategies in the model provided psychological and participative safety for leaders to learn and to apply new ways of working. Contrary to other studies on natural disaster, workplace performance increased and absenteeism decreased. The research contributes new knowledge to the positive leadership literature and new understanding, from the perspective of leaders, of the challenges of leading in a workplace environment of ongoing natural disaster events.

▼ The first paper of this two paper thesis proposes that changes in the
natural environment are a source of information for entrepreneurial opportunity, along with the previously identified sources of technological, political/regulatory, and sociodemographic changes. The paper finds that opportunities from changes in the
natural environment are exploited through mitigation, adaptation, or a combination of the two. The second paper takes an exploratory approach to study the processes, enabling and constraining factors, and motivations of
disaster related entrepreneurial venturing. The findings point toward unique characteristics of
disaster related venturing in general, as well as specific considerations for spontaneous venturing from
disaster and venturing during a
disaster. The paper proposes that
disaster characteristics,
disaster management culture and context, and dual logics of helping and profit shape the entrepreneurial experience of
disaster related venturing.

▼ Fundamental to contemporary approaches to disaster risk reduction is a focus on community resilience. Resilience is a process, and therefore one of the challenges of its study is the identification of its components. One approach was developed by Norris, Stevens, Pfefferbaum, Wyche and Pfefferbaum (2008), who identified four networked resources (objects, conditions, characteristics and energies that are of value) critical for resilience: economic development, information and communication, social capital and community competence.
Norris et al. (2008) also suggest that there are three adaptive capacities critical for post-event functioning, proposing that there will be improved resilience if resources are sufficiently robust (strong and with a low risk of deterioration), redundant (easily substitutable with other resources in the event of deterioration), and rapid (mobilised and used quickly) to buffer or counteract the effects of the stressor.
While Norris et al.’s work (2008) dealt primarily with 'mainstream' aspects of community and societal life, it is also important to explore how virtual relationships and connectedness, particularly via social media, influence how community resilience is developed and enacted after an emergency.
The importance of examining the link between social media and community resilience is framed in terms of the growing tendency for people to turn to social media during disasters and use it as a tool for sourcing assistance, sharing information, communicating with friends and family, and forming online emergent groups in order to assist with the response and recovery. Social media platforms increase the potential for people to interrelate throughout the response and recovery. As with any new technology, there has been reluctance in multiple sectors to embrace the usage of social media during emergencies, and while both positive and negative anecdotal evidence is available, the research base and collection of empirical case studies in this area is small.
Using thematic and content analysis, the characteristics of an online emergent group that formed after a bushfire disaster in Australia in 2013 are examined. The group of spontaneous volunteers formed as a Facebook page, Tassie Fires - We Can Help (TFWCH). Using Norris et al.’s framework (2008), this thesis explores how social media facilitated the four resources in Norris et al.’s model, thereby potentially contributing to increased community resilience. This analysis of community perspectives and processes that emerged in a bushfire event is used to examine the utility of the Norris et al. model, specifically in the context of social media, as a framework for conceptualising community resilience.
Three sets of data were analysed. To form a basic understanding of the users and the usage of the page, a number of Facebook metrics sourced through social media analysts Locowise were examined, including user sex, location, age, and usage statistics such as page engagement.

▼ This study combines the fields of political and environmental history to understand the evolution of federal
disaster relief policy in the United States from 1927-2005, specifically the development of US federal
natural disaster relief as a component of the welfare state. The institutionalization of
disaster relief as a function of the welfare state occurred because the New Deal’s unprecedented bureaucratic apparatus combined with major disasters and the need for assistance; the confluence established the government’s dominate role in
disaster relief. Over the course of the twentieth century, federal
disaster relief policy developed and increased alongside the expansion of presidential authority and a welfare state that increasingly became bureaucratically complex. Yet, at the same time, the success of the welfare state has been stymied by consistent traditions of individualism, limited government, a belief in the market economy, and ineffective bureaucracy. In examining the affects of
disaster policy on the people,
disaster relief, like the welfare state in general, often overlooks the people who would most benefit from federal help because it focuses primarily on the maintenance and extension of capitalism. This study also describes the negative affects of
disaster relief policy on certain groups and classes such as racial and ethnic minorities and those who do not own property. The study helps to explain why federal relief has historically failed to directly ease the burdens of many
disaster victims. The simple answer: it was never designed for that purpose.

▼ Researchers studying the affects of resource loss following a technological
disaster have exclusively investigated the acute period directly after the event occurred. This study applied Hobfoll's (1988, 1989) Conservation of Resources model in order to examine the long term effects of resource loss on depression in Cordova, Alaska a decade after the Exxon Valdez Oil spill. Results suggest that resource loss was a more prominent predictor for depression than demographics, involvement in the on-going litigation, or commercial fishing jobs. The research concludes that certain aspects of resource loss are critical in the development of depression after a technological
disaster, and in understanding how to address depression in the community.

Challenges of strategic decision making in natural disaster risk management in the public sector in Kenya

▼ Strategy formulation and implementation involves the development of long term plans by an
organization for the effective management of both internal factors in the form of strengths
and weaknesses and factors of external nature in the form of opportunities and threats to
success of the organization, as well as monitoring the behaviour of the macro-environment.
Strategic management is practiced in Kenya both in the private sector and, for a number of
years now, in the public sector including the civil Service itself.
The role of government is, among others, to create an enabling environment for the various
players in the socioeconomic development of a country to operate conveniently and
profitably. The challenges posed by demands from the private sector, and the increasingly
sophisticated public, for efficient service delivery have over time forced the public sector
institutions to reorganize their management structures with the aim of delivering services in an efficient manner. As a result, public sector institutions have adopted strategic management practice, albeit in many different forms. This includes the mainstream Civil Service itself. It is therefore necessary to scrutinize their management structures and practice, through research and other methods, with a view to better understanding them and also to help
improve their performance.
There is scientific evidence that owing to climate change, the problem of natural disasters is set to worsen. It is therefore necessary to put systems in place that will help deal with this problem effectively. This research was undertaken to examine the challenges of strategic decision-making in natural disaster risk management in the public sector. It also investigated how the management of a multi-institutional service like disaster risk management can be carried out to the satisfaction of all the stakeholders. The research was in the form of a survey of the institutions, in the public sector, responsible for Natural Disaster Risk Management at policy formulation and implementation levels. The data was collected through the administration of a structured questionnaire, after which the information gathered was analyzed using content analysis technique.
The study found out that although each of the institutions studied included natural disaster
management in their strategic plans, the process is not harmonized as different institutions implemented their strategies independently. The net effect was a reduction in the overall efficiency and effectiveness of disaster risk management as a function. The study therefore concludes that there is need to reorganize the natural disaster risk management structure in order to enable the institutions deliver their mandate in a manner that satisfies all their stakeholders. In this respect, the research recommends both policy and operational
reorganization by, among others, putting in place a National Disaster Management Policy and
the establishment of a single institution that will be responsible for natural disaster risk

▼ Seventeenth-century Seville, one of early modern Spain's most populous cities and the mercantile hub of its imperial trade, endured repeated and severe flooding of the Guadalquivir River, events that have been largely overlooked by historians. Additionally, Seville's boom-then-bust history and the allure of the 'decline of Spain' thesis have ensured that the second half of the seventeenth century for both the urban and the national context remains similarly neglected. This thesis, by conducting research into the city's flooding from 1621 to 1700 presents an alternative narrative of continuity, at the same time as asserting the value to be gained from a historical study of the environment and disasters. I argue that urban responses - political and cultural - to disaster provide fundamental evidence of the impact of wider historical processes and structures. The asistente - the royal governor - of Seville likewise lacks sustained or detailed study. These men, as the king's appointees, had a vital role in the performance of the government of the Habsburg monarchy. The city's equivalent of the corregidor in other Spanish cities and towns, and previously understood as a legal and administrative official, the asistente was, I argue, responded to a broader set of political attitudes, which prioritised conservation and discouraged novelty. I also stress the hands-on and practical aspects to the post, which demanded a working appreciation of urban space. By connecting a study of royal government in one of the most significant of early modern Spanish cities to an environmental history of flooding, I address important gaps in the scholarship and suggest new avenues of research into the history of environmental disaster. Spanish 'decline' might be reinterpreted as a failure to deal with specific local environmental issues, and environmental disaster acknowledged as an issue of central political importance.

▼ In this study, we propose a mixed-integer linear programming model for a Heterogeneous Fixed Fleet Drone Routing problem (HFFDRP) that minimizes the post-
disaster inspection cost of a
disaster-affected area by accounting a number of drone trajectory-specific factors into consideration such as battery recharging costs, servicing costs, drone hovering, turning, acceleration, constant, and deceleration costs, and many others. The trajectories between each pair of nodes are constructed using a path construction model. Two heuristic algorithms are proposed, namely, Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search (ALNS) algorithm and Modified Backtracking Adaptive Threshold Accepting (MBATA) algorithm, to solve the largest instances of our proposed optimization model. Computational results indicate that the proposed MBATA algorithm is capable of producing high-quality solutions consistently within a reasonable amount of time. Finally, a real-life case study is used to visualize and validate the modeling.

▼ The synthetic control method (SCM) has been used to assess the impact of a
natural disaster, conflict, and political change. The SCM shows an efficient and clear approach for selecting control units based on similarity and provides statistical inference by conducting placebo studies. The SCM is an analytical tool comparing the treated unit with the non-treated unit. The non-treated unit (hereinafter the donor pool) is the group with similar characteristics of the treated unit. Only difference between the two groups is the experience of the treatment (hereinafter the intervention).
The Tōhoku earthquake which occurred in March 2011 is the analysis’ intervention. I selected Japan as a treated unit and the donor pool was consisted of 37 countries from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The outcome variable is Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission per capita and the intervention window is 1995-2014 (pre-intervention: 1995-2010 and post-intervention: 2011-2014).
The results indicate a positive movement in GHG emission as a result of the earthquake. Placebo studies, leave-one-out tests, and the ratio between post to pre-intervention mean squared prediction error (MSPE), are performed to evaluate the statistical inferences of the analysis. All the tests provide robust evidence and statistical significance of the results. Regardless of the existence of nuclear power facilities in the donor pool, the graphical results almost provide the same direction in the GHG emission.

▼ The seriousness of food insecurity in many developing economies
has prompted this research into its key potential drivers. The
thesis assesses primary data on Cambodia as a case study to
examine potential impacts of (i) agricultural land property
rights on household food insecurity of rice farmers in rural
Cambodia, (ii) of excessive flooding and irrigation on rice
productivity and rice revenue, and (iii) of rice productivity and
rice revenue on household food insecurity. The primary data are
taken from a household survey conducted between March and May
2014, administered to 256 households in 32 rural villages in
rural Cambodia. The second part of the thesis examines (iv) the
international experience of private property rights impacts on
food insecurity, using data from 57 developing economies over
1990 to 2011. This cross-country examination is motivated by the
Cambodian evidence to investigate whether the international
evidence on the linkage exists.
The plot-level evidence from Cambodia indicates that a one-unit
increase in security in agricultural land property rights could
reduce household food insecurity by about 1 day per annum on
average. Security in agricultural land property rights could
improve credit access, collateralisation, and farmers’
revenue-cost ratios. For rural rice farmers in Cambodia, simply
holding ‘land documents’ of any type does not appear to have
a strong impact on their food insecurity. The international
evidence provides similar results to the Cambodian evidence:
countries with greater private property rights experienced less
food insecurity. A one-percent increase in property rights
security potentially reduces prevalence of undernourishment and
prevalence of food inadequacy by 0.85 percent and 0.64 percent on
average, respectively.
The plot-level evidence from Cambodia shows that providing
irrigation for the currently unirrigated plots could raise
per-harvest rice yield by about 0.7 tonnes and per-harvest rice
revenue by about USD150 on average. Expanding access to formal
irrigation, i.e., from reservoirs, dykes, or canals, could raise
rice yield and rice revenue by about USD200 per harvest, relative
to other irrigation types, such as river or groundwater
irrigation. The household-level evidence from Cambodia shows that
rice productivity and rice revenue are significantly, negatively
associated with household food insecurity. Plots affected by
excessive flooding had lower rice yield by about 0.7 tonnes per
hectare, lower per-harvest rice revenue by about USD150, or lower
per-hectare rice revenue by about USD140 on average, relative to
those plots unaffected by excessive flooding.
The thesis has identified four policy options for tackling food
insecurity in Cambodia and developing economies. First,
strengthening security in private…

“You Came to Not Normal Land”: Nurses' Experience of the Environment of Disaster: A Phenomenological Investigation.

▼ Previous research suggests US nurses are unprepared for disaster, and suffer from adverse psychosocial outcomes following their disaster response. Current disaster preparedness focuses on providing hospital-centric trauma and acute care in fully resourced Western conditions, and does not include the environmental realities of the disaster setting. This study utilized an existential phenomenological approach to explore the meaning of the nurse’s experience of the disaster environment. Eleven nurses with broad disaster expertise and training levels participated in this research. The essence of their disaster experiences can be summed up by the central theme of “You came to not normal land.” Four global themes that describe this “not normal land” were “All the resources was gone”; “You prepare, you prepare, and you are unprepared”; “It can be done; it’s just different”; and “Stuff that sticks with you.”
The environment of disaster was both “not normal” and challenging owing to the many simultaneous breakdowns in healthcare supportive systems. Nurses were surprised and unprepared for the environmental conditions surrounding them. Reductions in systems (i.e. water, power), structures, staff, and supplies were coupled with lack of familiarity with alternative care sites, unaccustomed patient populations, the prevailing need for public health and fundamental nursing, and the isolated nature of disaster environments. Policies and regulations that “normally” guide nurses’ actions were disregarded in the immediacy of providing care when the usual social framework no longer existed. Nurses continue to relive the disaster setting’s sights, sounds, smells, and stories of the people they encountered. A strong sense of pride, duty, and willingness to respond again prevailed in these nurses.
Nurses can be prepared for the likely conditions of reduced resources and damaged infrastructure following disaster by including the contextual setting of disaster nursing in disaster education, practice, training, and policy. Suggestions for further research include determining the relevance of current disaster training to the nurses’ actual disaster experience; determining what non-clinical knowledge or skills or training disaster nurses think would be useful; and identifying and measuring the contribution of environmental factors to disaster nurses’ stress.

▼ This thesis utilizes three theoretical approaches;
political ecology, settler culture and community conservation to
examine soil conservation and the white agrarian
environment in
colonial Zimbabwe to evaluate to what extent players in government
and the agricultural sector were conscious or concerned about
preservation and conservation of the soil. The thesis also examines
the role of local and international ideas in the colony’s
conservationist tradition, and whether the soil conservation
movement was identity-forming among the colony’s settler farmers.
The history of conservation on settler farms in colonial Zimbabwe
can be periodized into three broad timeframes - from the 1890s to
around the mid-1930s, between 1934 and 1965 and the Unilateral
Declaration of Independence (UDI) period. In the first three and
half decades of the 20th century the history of conservation can
best be described as being characterized by a series of “dilemmas.”
The British South Africa Company (BSA Co.) administration did not
pursue soil conservation in any significant, synchronized or
sustained manner. In the second period, from 1934 to 1965, there
was considerable progress in the construction of conservation works
on settler farms. This process was the result of recommendations
made by
Natural Resources Commission, a body that was appointed in
1938 to investigate the status of the colony’s
natural resources.
The mid-1940s were characterized by the formation of Intensive
Conservation Areas (ICAs) in settler farming districts whose
mandate was to oversee the construction of conservation works to
rehabilitate settler farms. With the support of the
Natural
Resources Board (NRB), and the Department of Conservation and
Extension (CONEX), formed in 1948 to provide expertise on
conservation-related matters and extension support, all settler
farming areas were covered by trained CONEX staff, though in most
instances very thinly distributed due to high demand for their
service and manpower constraints in the department. The third
period, the UDI era, was characterized by attempts by the minority
settler government to forestall majority rule in the colony. Malawi
and Zambia (formerly Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesia, respectively)
had been granted their independence by Britain in 1964. As
decolonization was taking place in other parts of Africa, black
majority rule in colonial Zimbabwe also seemed imminent. To the
alarm of the white minority government, Britain had set out to
grant majority rule to its African colonies, including Southern
Rhodesia (renamed Rhodesia after Zambia’s independence). The Ian
Smith-led government of Rhodesia, feeling betrayed, declared UDI on
11 November 1965, delaying Zimbabwean independence by another 15
years. With the end of the Federation in 1963, the colony could no
longer rely on federal resources as it had done between 1953 and
1963. Sanctions, imposed in reaction to UDI, further put the regime
in a tight corner. Their impact was quite significant. Fuel had to
be rationed, and general belt-tightening across the…

Collapse and the City: The Breakdown of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, 2005.

▼ The environment has become the center of attention in recent years. The world is at the brink of several interrelated ‘green’ crises: environmental degradation, climate change, peak oil, food crisis, and various natural disasters. Hence, there is a viable threat to society. This essay aims to explore the significance of the environment for societal collapse—with a Western world city focus. The method of choice is a literature-based critical instance case study. In this thesis, the environmentally focused collapse theories of Jared Diamond and Clive Ponting are tested on the empirical example of the city of New Orleans, USA. In 2005, New Orleans was wrecked by Hurricane Katrina. As a result, 80% of New Orleans was flooded, almost 1,800 people lost their lives, and the infrastructural systems suffered lengthy breakdowns. Consequently, the supply of basic services such as water, food, sewage, electricity, heating, communications, transportation and shelter was severely compromised. The study shows that in the specific case of New Orleans, the underlying reasons for collapse cannot be explained by ‘green’ collapse theories alone. In fact, poor wetlands management was the only environmental issue of importance. Contributing causes were various managerial flaws (including lack of financing) on all levels in terms of emergency prevention, preparedness and response, as well as long-term structural implications for social justice. Thus, the environmentally related theories of Diamond and Ponting do not prove a perfect match. Instead, the collapse of New Orleans had better been explained by a ‘root cause mix’ theory, which takes political, economic, social and environmental aspects into consideration.
Miljöfrågor har hamnat allt mer i fokus de senaste åren. Världen står på tröskeln till ett flertal miljörelaterade kriser: miljöförstöring, klimatförändring, peak oil (oljeproduktionstoppen), global matkris samt diverse naturkatastrofer. Detta medför sammantaget ett allvarligt hot mot samhället. Examensarbetet syftar till att belysa miljöns betydelse för samhällskollaps – med fokus på den västerländska staden. Den metod som tillämpas är en litteraturbaserad fallstudie. I uppsatsen testas Jared Diamonds och Clive Pontings miljöinriktade teorier om samhällskollaps på det empiriska exemplet New Orleans, USA. År 2005 ödelades New Orleans av orkanen Katrina. Så mycket som 80 % av staden drabbades av översvämning, 1 800 invånare omkom och hela infrastrukturen bröt samman. Katastrofen fick därmed allvarliga konsekvenser för grundläggande samhällsfunktioner som försörjningen av vatten, livsmedel, avlopp, elektricitet, värme, kommunikationer, transporter samt boende. Studien visar att miljöorienterade teorier om samhällskollaps inte fullt ut kan förklara grundorsakerna till det sammanbrott som skedde i New Orleans. Den enda miljörelaterade orsaken av betydelse var inadekvat skötsel av våtmarkerna. Bidragande faktorer var istället bristande politisk styrning (inklusive otillräcklig…

▼ To increase disaster preparedness in immigrants, risk communication and management need to be tailored to their needs and concerns. To this end, research needs to uncover how immigrants construe natural disaster risks and issues in the context of the receiving community’s social environment, and how their experiences compared to the general population. The goal of this thesis was to understand how risk perception and the social environment relate to immigrants and Canadian-born individuals’ disaster preparedness. The relationship between risk perception and disaster preparedness was investigated in the first study. Analyses of the data from a national survey revealed that both groups shared three core risk perception dimensions: external responsibility for disaster management, self-preparedness responsibility, and illusiveness of preparedness. However, they differed in the salience of five risk perception beliefs. For both groups, external responsibility for disaster management and self-preparedness responsibility were positively associated with preparedness behaviours, whereas illusiveness of preparedness was negatively related to preparedness behaviours. In the second study, the relationship between community social capital and individuals’ preparedness behaviours was investigated. Analyses of two conceptually-linked national surveys revealed that neighbourhood contact and societal trust predicted during-disaster preparedness behaviours in both groups. Interestingly, societal trust positively predicted emergency planning in Canadian-born individuals but the reverse was true for immigrants. To provide a comprehensive social-ecological perspective, twenty-two individual interviews were conducted to explore immigrants and Canadian-born individuals’ lived experiences of natural disaster risks and issues. A unifying thread across five emergent themes showed that individuals did not perceive natural disaster risks as a valid threat and disaster preparedness as relevant to their daily lives because they believed that the positive social environment in Canada would mitigate the risks. For immigrants, the immigrant condition and culture shaped how they construed natural disaster risks and issues. Overall, findings suggest that risk communication and management need to focus on building human capital and social capital, use an all-of-society engagement approach, and reframe all-hazards preparedness as relevant for daily stressors. Specific for immigrants, disaster initiatives need to be tailored to the timeline of experience of being an immigrant within the context of their receiving communities.

▼ Following a
natural disaster, there is a need to rapidly assess the safety of civil infrastructure. This job is typically undertaken by local governments with the help of volunteer civil engineers with structural expertise, as well as organizations such as Cal EMA and ASCE. However, the inspection process is labor-intensive and a bit tedious, and results are prone to error as they tend to rely on the individual expertise of the inspectors. 3D reconstruction stands to become a useful tool in the safety evaluation process, as well as providing valuable opportunities for forensic engineering. This research explores the application of a low cost, rapidly deployable 3D reconstruction system for post-
natural disaster documentation and analysis of civil infrastructure. A review of the process of 3D reconstruction was conducted. Likewise, a review of existing technology used for
disaster scene analysis was performed. Two potentially useful 3D reconstruction toolkits were examined: FIT3D and Autodesk 123D Catch, of which the latter was determined to be best suited for the task at hand. Experiments were conducted to determine the best methodology for producing accurate 3D models as well as calculating the inherent error in the model. It was found that measurements obtained from the 3D model were accurate within approximately 0.3 inches.

▼ By researching
natural disaster displacement and the process in which we rebuild, I have found that by creating a modular prefabricate unit that is both cost efficient and easy to construct, we can significantly reduce the rebuild time, reduce people from leaving, as well as encourage new residents to move to the effected area.
It is important as an architect and designer to use our skills to better help humanity. By focusing on the effects of Hurricane Harvey in the Houston Area, I have developed a unit design, and infrastructure plan that can be used universally around the world to help effected cities and people survive after a
natural disaster.
These findings are useful in the fact that the United State has no universal plan when dealing with
disaster events. By creating a plan to provide single and multi family units, and incorporating them within close distance to necessary needs and infrastructure, this plan has the potential to reduce rebuild time, and encourage economy growth.

▼ Final Thesis, Master of Business Administration & Economic Program, Field of Research: Management, School of Business & Economics at Linnaeus University, Växjö, Sweden, 4FE10E, Spring 2015. Author: David Häggberg Supervisor: Richard Nakamura (Daniel Ericsson) Title: Ground-Breaking Contingency Planning with Risk- & Disaster Management Subtitle: A Case Study at Höganäs Japan K.K. Background: On the 11th of March 2011, Japan was hit with one of the largestearthquakes in modern history at a magnitude of 9.0 on the Richter scale. Thiscaused wide spreading and lasting delays in production in large parts of the worlddue to organizations supply chain being connected to Japan. Subsequently RiskManagement has received renewed and increasing attention, both in Japan and therest of the world. The proactive concept of Risk Management primary builds itsmodels around probability and utilizes this concept as a basis for determining whichrisks that should be mitigated through countermeasures and financial investments.Though when faced with an environment filled with uncertainty and an additionallevel of indirect risk exposure due to the potential domino effect of natural disasterssuch as earthquakes, can Risk Management really handle that, a world whereprobability fails? The reactive approach used by Disaster Management mightcontain clues for making Risk Management more flexible. Research Question: How can a transnational corporation adapt their RiskManagement strategy and plan for contingencies in a country with an unstablenatural environment? Purpose: This thesis seeks to investigate how a strategy for Risk Management canbe created and adapted with the regard to uncertainties such as an unstableenvironmental situation. The goal is further to highlight how traditional RiskManagement can be combined with other related areas such as DisasterManagement, in order to make a more complete strategy and a more flexible plan foraction. An adaption to the Risk Management strategy that would be made in order tomake the strategy applicable on a global level and including areas with unstableenvironmental situations. Method: This study has utilized a multi-strategy approach and the main source ofdata for this case study has come from semi-structured interviews and acomplementary survey. The author has found it necessary to adopt a pragmaticstandpoint with a qualitative focus in order to explore the research question andunderstand the collected data to its fullest extent. Conclusion: Adopting the local practices and mindset that strives to constantlysecure the supply chain and fulfill customer obligations by creating contingenciesthe risk exposure can be mitigated. Utilizing a quickly adaptable approach instead oflong-term planning in combination with concepts such as a Disaster Recovery Planthe Risk Management…

▼ This study was an endeavour to contribute to the understanding of mobile phone use in
disaster management. The main purpose of the study is to identify the factors necessary for mobile phones to successfully facilitate communication and information dissemination in
disaster management operations in Vanuatu, which is viewed as a region experiencing significant risks to
natural disasters, as well as a rapidly expanding mobile phone industry.
The research uses qualitative data collected through semi-structured interviews from two months of fieldwork in Vanuatu. Interviews were conducted with participants sourced from mobile phone providers, civil society organisations, government departments, and Vanuatu communities.
The research revealed a set of 16 critical success factors that affirmed a number of conclusions drawn from the literature but also revealed information unique to the Vanuatu context. The emerging factors necessary for mobile phone success were developed into a top-down framework with four categories. At the top, factors at the ‘Government Level’ highlighted the need for government
leadership and ‘ownership’, particularly in ‘policy formulation’ and ‘sanctioning’ of disseminated information. Below this, key stakeholder groups involved in mobile phones and
disaster management make up the ‘Stakeholder Level’, where there was a critical need for ‘communication’, ‘alignment’ and ‘collaboration’ between these groups. Stakeholder groups also need effective ‘staff training’, and a clear understanding of their ‘roles and responsibilities’ surrounding the mobile phone application. The means that enable stakeholders to operate this process make up the ‘Technology Level’, where critical factors include an ‘extensive network’ containing ‘resilient infrastructure’ with swift ‘maintenance and repair processes’. Finally, at the grassroots, community members make up the ‘User Level’. For users mobile phones must be both ‘affordable’ and ‘easy to use’, they also need ‘electricity access’ to meet phone charging needs, as well as knowledge of local areas with sufficient ‘network access’.
These results reveal the importance of addressing ways to improve mobile phone use in
disaster management. Mobile phones are now the most widely used information communication technology in Vanuatu, so improving their effectiveness in
disaster management operations is important and could have significant implications for communities that are vulnerable to
natural disaster hazards.

▼ This project expands on the existing literature concerned with the centralization of America's
natural disaster emergency relief and aid. Using Frank Baumgartner and Bryan Jones' punctuated equilibrium theory to guide the research-my thesis suggests two key findings about this policy area. First, the
Disaster Relief Act of 1974, not the better-known Stafford Act of 1988, appears to mark the start of federal preeminence in
disaster management. The second is the understanding that the legislative and executive branches became proactive in
disaster management at different times. My findings ultimately contribute to the existing literature by bringing about greater awareness to the exact origins of how U.S.
disaster management went from being the responsibility of state and local governments without any general federal framework for well over a century and a half to what it has become currently. And, perhaps more importantly, this project opens up the debate to future researchers, interested in all aspects of
disaster relief law, to the important role Congress has played in the development of this policy area, which appears to be overshadowed by the later, more public involvement from presidents.

▼ This dissertation is an ethnographic case study of the Christchurch Central City Rebuild. Following a series of severe earthquakes near Christchurch, New Zealand between September 2010 and February 2011, the central government declared a state of emergency and passed the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act (CER Act) in April 2011. This act mandated the creation of a new governing body, the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority, to oversee the development and implementation of a recovery strategy and plan for the Central City to be developed in cooperation with the Christchurch City Council and Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, the local Māori tribal authority. I analyze the structure of power established by the post-earthquake recovery legislation through the lens of Rebuild discourse, a discursive regime comprised of multiple political projects that each engaged in recovery in particular ways to enact their specific vision of what future Christchurch ought to be. I argue that the passage of the CER Act and the structure of power it created in post-earthquake Christchurch drew on the legacy of New Zealand’s settler-colonial history to enable the neoliberal settler state in its efforts to dispossess local Christchurch residents of access to their city while also maintaining the ongoing dispossession of the local indigenous group Ngāi Tahu in order to serve the interests of economic and political elites.

▼ This study examined the dynamics of an inter-organizational national
disaster management organization (NDO) in the Caribbean. It sought to provide a better understanding of network structure, functions, and member relations, which provided a foundation for understanding member roles and
leadership styles. This dissertation's primary research question was: How do members participate in the national
disaster management network in the Caribbean?
In personal interviews, network members identified the NDO as a semi-open network system, incorporating both hierarchical and collaborative characteristics. This analysis argued the network constitutes a dynamic system that shifts its governance structure to adapt to circumstances confronted during the
disaster management cycle. This study also found network structure affects member positions and those views reciprocally affect how the NDO is organized. One participant clearly claimed a central network position and served as "network broker," while several other members formed two high density groups within the NDO.
Network members played a range of formal and informal roles in the collaboration, including coach and coordinator. The central NDO member played several primary roles: fundraiser, change agent, manager, and informer. This analysis also suggested
leadership styles shaped the network's hybrid governance structure: some members employed a directive or delegative style, while others relied upon a participatory approach. This mix of styles underscored the importance of shared
leadership in a
disaster context.
The Saint Lucia government has endeavored to engage citizens in
disaster management planning through an extensive NDO committee structure. This study yielded insights into that decentralized decision-making structure and process. The NDO, as a public policy network, has served as a "new governance" form of government action. At the national level, non-governmental organizations have used the structure to work to frame
disaster management issues, while citizens active at the grassroots levels have participated in the nation's
disaster preparedness and response planning processes. This new governance mechanism may be deemed participatory but not yet representative democracy. Overall, however, Saint Lucia's networked and engaged approach to
disaster response and mitigation has encouraged deeper mutual awareness of shared challenges among government units, participating third sector organizations, for-profit entities, and the nation's citizens.

▼ Despite the devastation caused by environmental catastrophes, these phenomena have yet
to garner significant attention as a
subject of criminological inquiry. This thesis is framed
by the following question: How can we problematize the notion of ???
natural???
disaster to
arrive at a criminological understanding of human culpability in the production of harm?
I argue that the degree of human suffering caused by
natural disasters is aggravated by
imperialistic state crimes, which predispose populations to conditions of vulnerability and
dependency. I substantiate this argument with an analysis of Haiti and demonstrate how
its history of imperialistic exploitation by the US amounted to a pattern of state crime
victimization that marginalized Haitians and, consequently, shaped their suffering from
the 2010 earthquake. The story of Haiti exemplifies the relationship between the
contemporary hardships of a
natural disaster and the historical injustices of state crime,
thus illuminating the relevance of a criminology of catastrophe.

threat of floods. Annually, more than 400 million people have been
directly exposed to floods worldwide for the past two decades. This
was also seen in India where floods topped the list of natural
disasters in terms of number of events and estimated damage. In
India, 5.2 million people were reportedly affected by floods in
2011 which caused 158 deaths. A review of the data on disasters in
India showed that in many places, the same people were affected
twice as they faced both drought and floods. The location chosen
for the study was one such area located in the northern,
drought-prone part of Karnataka, in Badami taluk of Bagalkot
district. The region is characterised by its under-development and
has been classified as one of the more backward taluks in Karnataka
state. Being mainly rain-fed agricultural villages most livelihoods
revolved around land and livestock. The region faced severe floods
in July 2007 and October 2009, and caused severe flood related
losses in the region. Objectives and research design The conceptual
frame adapted for the study was from the modified sustainable
livelihoods framework which provided a useful analytical tool to
study vulnerabilities and capabilities in the context of a
disaster. The broad objective of the study was to examine the
disaster recovery of households in the context of vulnerability to
floods in rural Karnataka.

▼ This thesis examines the ways in which earthquakes have been culturally remembered in Italy since the massive Messina earthquake of 1908. It starts from the observation that cultural memory studies have focussed on ‘man made’ traumatic events thereby overlooking the ways in which
natural disasters too have been
subject to remembrance and commemoration and their meaning contested. The thesis shows indeed that ever since the 18th-century Lisbon earthquake, earthquakes have been ‘culturized’, that is, represented and interpreted within semantic frameworks which highlight their meaning for later generations, often deploying complex strategies in order to make sense of what seems senseless and beyond the ken of mankind. The thesis then goes on to examine in considerable detail the ways in which two major earthquakes in 20th-century Italy (Messina 1908; Irpinia 1980) were represented in a variety of media both through contemporary reports and through later forms of mediated recollection. It shows very clearly the procedures whereby the two earthquakes were interpreted and, most interestingly, connected to the Italian political landscape and especially to issues surrounding the North-South relations and the trustworthiness of the Italian State. It also shows how the recollection of later events was mediated through the memory of earlier ones (and vice versa), hence demonstrating the non-linear and multidirectional character of the cultural memory processes at work. In contrasting the recollection of the Irpinia
disaster with that of the Bologna bombing, both events from 1980, the thesis demonstrates both the different issues at work in the recollection of
natural as distinct from purely man-made disasters, at the same time as it shows the interconnectedness between them.

▼ The frequent occurrence of
natural disasters has long
been a reality in China, but with an apparent increase in the
frequency of the
natural crises in China in recent years, the
Chinese government’s preparation for and response to such events
have changed. This thesis studies the performance of China’s
disaster management and communication system in two
disaster
situations that occurred in 2008: a major winter storm and the
Sichuan earthquake. Government policies relevant to the full life
cycle of
natural disasters, from prevention to relief and
restoration, are covered, and the government’s on-the-ground
communication activities as these two disasters unfolded are
analyzed. Using this information, the thesis explores the features
of the Chinese government’s
natural disaster communication
framework and identifies potential gaps between this framework and
classic crisis communication theories.

▼ Introduction: Disaster is one of the most pressing global issues of the 21st century in that it compromises human development and economic gains on a global scale and threatens the integrity of the natural environment. The poorest regions of the world, and the most vulnerable groups within them, assume a disproportionate share of the burden. Little is known about what the discipline of occupational therapy may contribute to the field within the medical-rehabilitation sphere and beyond, involving issues of social inequality and change; and specifically, the role of ‘occupation’ in strengthening resilience and promoting recovery across individual and social realms of practice. This thesis explores the relationship of occupation to disaster resilience and recovery through a qualitative study that engaged a culturally diverse group of occupational therapy practitioners involved in the field of disaster. Methods: The study utilised a constructivist grounded theory approach, involving active, in-depth interviews. Findings: Across different situations of disaster the practitioners were confronted with patterns of disconnect between actors and elements within the system that impacted upon the coordination and quality of assistance. In response to these challenges they used occupation to bring people into changing relationships with each other and the environment around them, toward more resilient, collaborative and sustainable relationships and systems. This process is represented by the theory of ‘Occupational Stewardship and the model of Occupational Stewardship and Collaborative Engagement (mOSCE). Conclusion: Occupational Stewardship illuminates the transformative potential of occupation as it is deeply embedded in the social world and lies within a dynamic, emergent, ecological context. The concept and practice holds the potential to contribute to inclusive, community-based approaches and interventions in the field of disaster. Moreover, Occupational Stewardship opens up avenues for the contribution of an occupational perspective to complex global issues and population health concerns related to issues of equity, participation, sustainability and social change.

▼ This thesis provides an analytic and game-theoretic approach to modelling evacuation behaviour during natural disasters. Chapter 1 is an introduction to natural disaster trends and the types of problems encountered in this area of research. Chapter 2 explores the role of communication and information in assisting agents to evacuate using a stylised analytical model. Chapter 3 investigates the impact of congestion on individual departure time decisions and Chapter 4 focuses on exit selection under imperfect information. Game theory is used to answer questions such as how do individual decisions impact others and what happens if perception does not match reality? Finally, Chapter 5 summarises the contributions of this thesis and discusses possible future directions for research.

▼ This project was designed to assess long-term posttraumatic stress symptoms, coping strategies and attributions in two groups of children. The first group of children was exposed to a single tornado in May 2010. The second group of children was exposed to multiple tornadoes during the same time period. Parents provided information about their children's exposure to the tornado(es), symptoms of posttraumatic stress symptoms, and general overall functioning. Children provided information about their own symptoms of posttraumatic stress symptoms, use of coping strategies, and attributions at two different data collection points (20-months and 23-months post-
disaster). This project provided long-term follow-up for two groups of children who were exposed to either a single tornado or multiple tornadoes in May 2010. The results of the study show that even two years post-
disaster, children in both the single and multiple exposure groups were exhibiting elevated levels of posttraumatic stress symptoms, but were continuing to exhibit normal levels of functioning. Both groups of children reported using numerous coping strategies and multiple attributions to deal with the tornados. Given that the use of coping strategies and attributions were significantly correlated with symptoms of posttraumatic stress at both time points, findings may suggest that the children have learned to adapt to the tornado exposure. Between the two groups, children in the multiple exposure group reported higher levels of PTSS, use of more coping strategies, and making more attributions than the children from the single exposure group. Exploratory analyses were conducted to examine differences in the use of positive and negative coping strategies, and individual attributions. The results of the study provide valuable information to contribute to gaps in the literature about PTSS, use of coping strategies, and attributions over a longer term following exposure to either a single or multiple traumas. Furthermore, this is one of few studies that have assessed long-term symptoms of posttraumatic stress longitudinally following exposure to tornadoes.

▼ This Note asserts that natural disaster-affected populations have a right to call on the international community to protect basic subsistence interests where their sovereign government is unable or unwilling to do so in the wake of a catastrophic natural disaster. First, this Note situates the right to international humanitarian assistance following a natural disaster as a legitimate right under modern international human rights law, using the normative framework set out by renowned political theorist Charles Beitz. This Note then illustrates how the international humanitarian law doctrine of the Responsibility to Protect provides a clear and coherent way to operationalize the right to post-natural disaster humanitarian assistance, by providing a previously-determined structure for a definitive, yet circumstantially-flexible, determination of first- and second-level responsibilities for eligible international actors to take action in defence of this right.
