Although it is argued that learning is a crucial mechanism for improving flood resilience, few empirical studies have explored how lessons learned from past flood experiences influence flood resilience. It is also unknown whether there are any barriers preventing people from implementing the lessons learned and eroding the development of flood resilience. To address these gaps, this paper conducts a case study of Jiangnan village, a frequently flooded rural village in southern China. Jiangnan village was seriously flooded in 2022; however, it is surprising that only a few people living in the village experienced flood losses. Forty-four in-depth interviews with local villagers were conducted between 2022 and 2023, revealing that extensive local knowledge learned from past flood experiences helped reduce flood losses during the 2022 flood. We further concluded that the lessons learned significantly contributed to flood resilience by improving villager agility during flooding and promoting a holistic approach to flood risk reduction. Moreover, several barriers preventing people from implementing the lessons learned were identified, including a lack of accurate and timely flood risk communication, personal barriers, and changes in flood regimes. This study provides insights for flood risk management stakeholders that help them understand the value and limitations of local knowledge. We also advocate for flood management to reduce reliance on flood control and integrate a learning-based approach, enabling people to experiment with alternative practices during floods and then learn from their subsequent feedback.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"114 ","pages":"Article 104998"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142705778","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}

Mitigative capacity refers to the ability to minimize the impact of a tsunami through bioshields like coastal forests, wetlands, and dunes in the Coastal Plane. Adaptive capacity encompasses longer-term resources that support recovery, such as food, water, and refuge provided by forests, prairies and agricultural land among others in the Coastal Range. Using spatial and multivariate analyses, 53 coastal settlements were evaluated, leading to three settlement clusters with distinct degree of urbanization, type of settlement (village or city), and differences in their latitudinal distribution and in the number of prairies and agricultural land in the Coastal Range. Results show no significant differences between settlement clusters and mitigative capacity. On the other hand, the study finds that cities' type of settlements, with greater prairie and agricultural land in the Coastal Range, particularly in central and northern Chile, show a higher capacity for adaptation, based on transportation and refuge available after the tsunami. This research highlights the crucial role of natural resources in both immediate disaster mitigation and long-term adaptation.

Disasters stress these complex networks and can provoke systemic disruptions that extend far beyond the spatial footprint of hazards. An enduring challenge for assessing infrastructure networks within disaster impact assessment frameworks has been to adequately quantify the high spatial interdependence of these networks, and to consider risk management interventions through time. This is of particular importance for volcanic eruptions, which can produce multiple hazards over highly variable spatiotemporal extents. In this study, we present a methodology for the quantification of systemic vulnerability of infrastructure networks, which can be coupled with physical vulnerability models for the purpose of impact assessment. The two-part methodology first quantifies the haard-agnostic criticality of infrastructural components, inclusive of interdependencies, and then incorporates representative hazard spatial footprints to derive the systemic vulnerability. We demonstrate this methodology using the case study of volcanic eruptions from Taranaki Mounga volcano, Aotearoa New Zealand, where there are many industrial sites of national importance, and a high likelihood of a complex multi-hazard volcanic eruption. We find a considerable increase in the systemic vulnerability of electricity and natural gas network components after incorporating infrastructure interdependencies, and a further increase in the systemic vulnerability of these critical components when cross-referenced with potential volcanic hazard spatial extent. The methodology of this study can be applied to other areas of interest in both its hazard-agnostic or hazard-dependent form, and the systemic vulnerability quantification should be incorporated into impact assessment frameworks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"114 ","pages":"Article 104997"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142705781","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}

A functional building is one that is used for its intended services. This paper develops a multi-step community-level functionality analysis framework by modelling: (1) building functionality that integrates the building's structural performance, essential water and electric power service performance, and physical accessibility through road networks; (2) portfolio-level building recovery by aggregating functionality of buildings for an entire community; and (3) serviceability of infrastructure systems. Graph theory is applied to assess performance of infrastructure systems. The cascading effect of water pipe failure on the road network is modelled through geographic dependency analysis. Post-earthquake water demand changes due to household dislocation and return, and increased water service demand at essential facilities are captured to model the performance of the water network under stressed conditions. The framework also assesses household-level housing recovery and integrates results with physical damage repair to more holistically depict the functional recovery of buildings from the perspective that buildings must be occupied to be fully functional. The proposed framework is illustrated for a scenario earthquake for the virtual community of Centerville. Findings provide an up-to-date measurement of post-disaster functionality for buildings and critical infrastructure systems that can guide decision-makers during pre-disaster planning and post-disaster recovery. The example demonstrates that consideration of essential infrastructure services significantly alters the functionality of the built environment during the recovery process. For instance, power outages resulted in functionality loss of up to 75 % of physically operable buildings for as much as 14 days. Consideration of physical accessibility loss to nearest road segments resulted in a portfolio functionality drop of up to 9 % for 6 days, and partial water shortage significantly hampered the functionality of the impacted area, including the regional hospital. <u>Approximately 3 % of households were unable to repair their damaged homes and became homeless. The proposed framework enables risk-informed decisions regarding long-term recovery at the community scale with inclusion of those living at the margins and most susceptible to long-term negative consequences from disasters.</u></div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"114 ","pages":"Article 104929"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142660993","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}
