However, this is still a problematic issue in developing/backward economies. The current method of compensation considers the material value of the assets and does not offer a comprehensive package to assess the use value and dependency value of the lost asset. This paper has selected the Odisha Super Cyclone 1999 and Uttarakhand Flood 2013 as the cases to elaborate the issue of economic recovery of disaster survivors. It attempts to have a comparative analysis of these disasters and also the time taken for recovery. The long-term economic recovery of such communities directly depends on the post-disaster economic support system, which could be either a new livelihood program or a program enabling the community to find effective alternatives.","PeriodicalId":44960,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Emergency Management","volume":"13 1","pages":"368"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44274138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A qualitative approach was selected to interview aid workers, using an in-depth semi-structured question guide. Selected participants completed at least three missions while employed with an organisation and the type of fieldwork was restricted to emergency response, complex emergencies and early recovery. Results show that general workload, teamwork and the connection to headquarters are perceived as the biggest challenges. Important resilience resources can be identified in team-members, professional experience and possessing a satisfying life back home. Intercultural understanding was researched as one of the most important personality traits within humanitarian fieldwork. This study suggests better preparation for HAW prior fieldwork and better education programs within the field to compliment professional experience.","PeriodicalId":44960,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Emergency Management","volume":"13 1","pages":"382"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41646488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review paper analyses the changing trend and pattern in natural and man-made evolving emergencies threats and disasters vulnerability, towards robust and effective emergency community-based preparedness, emergency response policy and programs in Saudi Arabia. Method: A systematic review was performed to assess community emergency readiness in man-made or natural threats and epidemics disasters in the Kingdom. Findings: Our results showed that man-made disasters were the most reported cause of fatality with over 3979 deaths from 1975 to April, 2016. Substantially, Saudi Arabia government commitment and investment efforts have been devoted to ensure adequate emergency management. However, the level of community emergency preparedness culture for all types of risk assessment and management still requires urgent attention in the context of emerging global health threats and epidemics. This paper provides a set of lessons learnt that are useful to foster and scale-up further policy-makers and emergency planners proactive emergency preparedness capacity, and communities resilience initiatives. Leveraging on aggregate annual Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage or mass gathering lessons learnt, global emergency response experiences and best practices are assets in scaling-up proactive and practical community/public and regional emergency security resilience. Conclusion: Strengthening evidence-based comprehensive sustained Saudi innovative community-based emergency partnerships, community surveillance and preparedness, resilient measures and best practices against threats and disasters is advocated.","PeriodicalId":44960,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Emergency Management","volume":"13 1","pages":"288"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44419314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present a prototype where the translation is dealt with by restricting communications to occur through a form of controlled natural language (CNL) (Fuchs and Schwitter, 1995). The prototype is new in that it allows for communications between both physical and virtual autonomous agents, agents are assigned different levels of autonomy, and it includes a level of information hiding that allows for information to be passed to relevant agents, whilst keeping those (humans) involved anonymous. A real-life mission is then used to exemplify how information is retrieved and communicated in the prototype.

The formalism utilised is the stochastic marked point process. The paper is written to support 'black-box' modelling of situation awareness in virtual training simulation, where a trainee's performance is compared with, e.g., the performance of experienced commanders with respect to key performance indicators (KPIs) obtained from such simulations. The paper also briefly discusses the use of the introduced decision model in developing agent-based models and simulations. It is also noted that the decision model encompasses the recognition-primed decision (RPD) model of naturalistic decision-making.","PeriodicalId":44960,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Emergency Management","volume":"13 1","pages":"193-209"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45223608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through participatory observation and action-cameras attached to fire brigade incident commanders, critical events are identified and condensed. The effects of these critical events upon the incident commanders are analysed in dialogical sessions. The dialogical sessions reveal vulnerability when critical events affect them cognitively, but especially when affected emotionally and physically. Acknowledging and understanding the effect of these striking moments is the baseline from which incident commanders and researchers can gain insight into the realities of practice. This paper argues that in order to gain insight into the actual practice conducted in the midst of everyday action we need to shift our view of incident commanders from privileged sense-makers to privileged sense-facilitators.","PeriodicalId":44960,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Emergency Management","volume":"13 1","pages":"272-287"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41343290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although recovery took about two weeks, stable patients were discharged. The forecast has been included in university's mitigation plan, while the mechanical room's protection was strengthened and the renovation process included building of flood preventive structures. The second flood, which hit Jeddah in 2011, did not affect the university including the hospital. KAUH became a shelter for staff and victims.

There are many models available in the literature among them HECHMS, MIKESHE, HECRAS, MIKEFLOOD, MIKE11, SWMM, DELFT3D, etc. Each of these models has its own advantages and disadvantages. In general, hydrological models are used to estimate the flood from a rainstorm, while hydraulic models are used to delineate the inundation zones. Solution of the governing equations for flood propagation is cumbersome and takes lots of time and efforts especially in two-dimensional domains in urbanised areas. In this paper, an efficient methodology based on the random walk theory is developed and programmed to delineate the inundation areas from a flood. The method is applied on the flood that happened on November 2009 in Jeddah city using a simplified city configuration. The results are plausible. The method can be further developed to simulate floods in a real city configuration.","PeriodicalId":44960,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Emergency Management","volume":"13 1","pages":"169"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48374024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
