The study identifies homeowners' social and technical capacity aspects in Ghana, West Africa, to effectively improve their resilience. Ghana is particularly vulnerable to flooding, and its flood risk management (FRM) strategy is gradually evolving to encompass a greater role for homeowners. To gain insight into the factors influencing homeowners' capacity to implement measures, a quantitative research design comprising a household survey was employed in three study areas (Accra, Kumasi, and White Volta) with 1168 participating homeowners. The results offered insights into the high risk perception and respondents’ motivation, the significant challenges they face in coping with flood events, their limited knowledge of effective measures, and the heterogeneous implementation barriers and support needs across the region. Based on these findings, this paper outlines the practical implications, actionable steps, and sustainable strategies that can be employed with the FLOODLABEL_GHANA tool for resilience improvement.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"114 ","pages":"Article 104953"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142660992","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}

This study developed a conceptual framework to guide health security strategies, policies, and capacity-building efforts, harmonizing the national health security agenda and outlining stakeholder actions through an iterative process involving the review of 78 policies and consultations with 21 stakeholders. The framework is founded on four core principles intrinsic to Filipino identity: Bayanihan (multisectorality), Kalusugan Pangkalahatan (equity and universal health care), Magkakaugnay na Sistema (interoperability), and Pananagutan (accountability). It prescribes six strategic actions: ensuring the accessibility and sustainability of resources, adopting a community-centered approach, enhancing knowledge and information sharing, fostering partnerships and collaboration, establishing a robust implementation system and integrated service delivery network, and strengthening governance. This framework aims to fortify the Philippine health system, making it more resilient and equitable in facing current and future health threats. It calls for active engagement from all stakeholders in implementing these strategies, contributing to a healthier and more secure nation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"114 ","pages":"Article 104970"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142705870","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}

The impact of Natech events can escalate throughout supply chains. To mitigate such impact, industry and business managers need to adopt protective measures in the chemical industry. Past research has shown that managers may not be on the same page in adopting protective behavior. This exploratory study aims to understand factors influencing managers' motivation for adopting protective measures to prevent chemical supply chain disruptions when dealing with flood-related Natech risk, through the lens of an enriched Protection Motivation Theory (PMT). It proposes an enriched version of the PMT, which is re-elaborated from three aspects: (1) updating the sub-components of threat appraisal with advanced risk perception formation; (2) considering perceived resource deficiency within the business when evaluating coping appraisal; and (3) incorporating the impact of cognitive biases. The model is validated through partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis, with data collected through a questionnaire distributed to a sample of the chemical industry in Colombia. The results showed that the proposed model is a promising model for predicting managers' protection motivation although it does not effectively explain or predict the variance in the endogenous variables. Experiential risk perception, response efficacy, self-efficacy, and resource deficiency are strong drivers in predicting managers' protection motivation. Furthermore, normalcy bias lowers deliberative risk perception and indirectly affects protection motivation, whereas, short-termism increases perceived resource deficiency and indirectly affects protection motivation. Although not related to protection motivation, optimistic bias is found to lower affective risk perception. In addition, several key insights were obtained that may help enhance managers’ protection motivation and Natech risk management through more specific risk communication and policy interventions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"114 ","pages":"Article 104985"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142705776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the past decade, educational initiatives in Pakistan have gained momentum to mitigate disaster-related damages and foster resilience. This approach has been supported by numerous studies highlighting its effectiveness in achieving positive results. This study examines the factors that can either aid or impede the expansion of disaster risk reduction education for primary school students in four districts of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province. The study employed a multi-informant mixed-method approach that gathered data from multiple sources, including elementary school children, school personnel, and child-centered disaster risk reduction non-governmental organizations members. Many teachers in the study believed they could involve children in disaster preparedness and thought disaster risk reduction education should be taught in schools. The study identified six significant challenges (policy blueprint for DRR education, cognizance and availability of DRR educational materials, teacher’s competence to improve learning outcomes, strengthening school partnerships, allocating resources for optimal results, and giving children a voice) and proposed several policies recommendations for making progress.

This paper examines the factors determining insurance expenditure among organised manufacturing factories in India, focusing on the role of regional disaster risks. We gather information on insurance expenditure and other factory-level factors by utilizing unit-level data from the Annual Survey of Industries for 2018–19. We integrate this data with the spatial disaster risks index across Indian states, obtained from the <em>Disaster Risks and Resilience in India</em> report by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The state-level disaster risk index captures the regional risk environment that influences insurance expenditure at the factory level, even after accounting for factory-specific factors. We test various hypotheses on the determinants of factory-level insurance expenditure using the ordinary least squares method in a multiple linear regression framework. Given that the decision to spend on insurance reflects a corner solution problem, with a substantial share of factories reporting zero expenditure while others incur strictly positive amounts, we employ Tobit and Cragg's hurdle models to ensure robustness. Our results indicate a positive and statistically significant association between the location-based spatial disaster risks index and factory-level insurance expenditure. Factories located in a state with higher disaster risks spend significantly more on insurance expenditure. Among other factory-level factors, our findings indicate that factors such as gross value added, subsidies, the value of imported inputs, export share, type of organisation, age, the value of plant and machinery, and depreciation significantly affect insurance expenditure.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"114 ","pages":"Article 104964"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142660919","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}

Thus, the authors analysed 49 publications from 2005 to 2023 and identified 42 influencing factors and 226 causal relationships. These factors were classified into three groups, namely, 1) contextual sub-system, 2) operational sub-system, and 3) stakeholder sub-system. Drawing on the data, a causal loop diagram (CLD) was developed, and numerous feedback loops were identified within and between systems. Through a network analysis of the CLD, five leverage factors were identified as systemic interventions for policymakers to consider in improving building material supply performance for post-disaster recovery, namely, regulatory arrangements and governance, competence and capability of stakeholders, stakeholder relationship, availability of local materials, and resource exploitation. However, CLD and network analysis also revealed the need for further investigation of the mechanisms and interventions related to building material supply in disaster contexts.
