Despite its humid subtropical climate, Taiwan has experienced rising wildfire vulnerability, necessitating research into management strategies. This study examines Taiwan's wildfire response evolution and decision-making processes using two decades of response records (2004–2023) and discrete choice experiment (DCE) surveys. Our analysis revealed significant shifts towards Full Suppression (FS) strategies, characterized by increased personnel deployments per area burned and shortened containment times. Decision-making demonstrates prevailing risk-averse attitudes and non-linear probability weighting when confronting multi-attribute trade-offs. Taiwanese wildfire managers typically favor suppression strategies prioritizing stability and minimizing outcome variability, even when failing to maximize overall benefits. This behavior demonstrates disproportionate resource allocation toward mitigating highly salient, low-probability catastrophic events rather than optimizing overall risk-benefit outcomes. Despite these predispositions toward FS strategies, strategic adaptation potential exists, evidenced by reduced risk aversion in wilderness catchment areas and paramount concern for personnel safety (willingness-to-pay NT$1.69 million to prevent one casualty per 1000 wildfire events) compared to losses of environmental resource. This research provides crucial insights for wildfire management in Taiwan and analogous regions, highlighting opportunities for strategic adaptation under changing climate conditions, though sample representativeness and cross-regional generalizability warrant further investigation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 105706"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144679312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To reduce the inherent risks that come with this role, firefighters use safety protocols such as lookouts, communications, escape routes, and safety zones (LCES). Currently, LCES implementation is conducted on the ground with limited support from geospatial information, despite the protocol's inherently spatial nature. This study introduces GeoLCES: an analytical framework designed to enhance LCES implementation using remote sensing and geospatial modeling. GeoLCES comprises three spatially explicit safety metrics, derived from airborne lidar data: (1) visibility index (VI), which quantifies landscape-wide visibility, aiding the evaluation of lookouts and communications; (2) escape route index (ERI), which quantifies mobility, facilitating the identification of escape routes and avoidance of entrapment-prone area; and (3) proportional safe separation distance (pSSD), which quantifies the relative degree of sufficient fuel separation, enabling the identification of suitable safety zones. In this study, we describe the theory, computation, application, and interpretation of each of these three metrics as a multivariate, pre-fire decision support tool. To highlight implementation on a useful scale, we map GeoLCES at 30m resolution throughout Gila National Forest in New Mexico, USA. We provide an operationally relevant use-case demonstration to exemplify one approach for employing GeoLCES at the incident level. GeoLCES is the first geospatial analytical framework that seeks to specifically address the complex, multivariate nature of LCES in a holistic manner, and has the potential to improve wildland firefighter safety at a time of increasing fire management demands.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 105714"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144670479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we examine how public policies and non-intentional disaster risk reduction (DRR) measures contribute to the SDP in the Revólver basin – a region in Brazil affected by a compound hydrological disaster (landslides, debris flow, and flash floods) and COVID-19. Using a mixed methods approach through the lenses of the protection motivation theory – including 151 interviews with community members, 10 stakeholder interviews, policy document analysis, and spatial analysis - we found that responsive measures were predominantly non-protective. A third of the interviewees exhibited a false sense of safety, fostered by their trust in the government and the perception of building permits as safety indicators. Stakeholders indicated that DRR actions were absent, as the study area was considered secure. Inadequate risk mapping, urban expansion into high-risk areas, and the relaxation of riparian regulations facilitated settlement in hazardous regions, reinforcing a false sense of safety and exacerbating the SDP. Therefore, local government policies influenced the SDP, particularly in regions where disasters are not frequent. Our findings suggest that non-structural policies, including those indirectly related to DRR, can unintentionally increase risk. Hence, we propose broadening the SDP concept to include both intentional and non-intentional DRR measures and policies inducing unintended consequences.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 105697"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144655482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, as investigations in Norway indicate, it was the perceived loss of control, rather than the characteristics of a crisis that defined the pandemic as a crisis. This paper aims to study losing control in relation to pandemics, and what it means for crisis management. The data used to answer this were gathered from the COVID-19 management that culminated in Norwegian national lockdown March 12th, 2020. Through a thematic analysis, I present some ‘strains’ of losing control: the findings are that the ‘nexus’ of our worries in losing control relates to uncertainty, criticality and urgency. For example, the lacking data for modeling the virus. Further, this is coupled with an acknowledgement that there are things we want to protect. For example, when the system that protects health and well-being is being pressured, it can lead to a sense of lacking control over the situation. I conceptualize that the core of the problem with losing control is an experience of decreasing ‘crisis maneuverability’, and then how it makes sense to talk about degrees of ‘uncontrol’ to explain what makes us recognize when a threat becomes a crisis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 105705"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144686782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
