However, divisive concerns toward drone implementation exist. The present study aims to characterize drone adopters and non-adopters and explore significant determinants underlying drone acceptance for humanitarian operations in a developing country. A disaster-prone developing country of Indonesia was selected as a studied case. An empirical survey involving 439 rescuers from governmental disaster agencies, international and national non-governmental organizations was conducted in 2023. Independent <em>t</em>-test/chi-squared test and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression were used for characterization and determinant identification, respectively. The drone adopters and non-adopters are significantly different with respect to age, gender, education, regions, work experiences, knowledge, personal innovativeness, and perceptions of drone durability, institutional support/policy, regulation, standard. Gender, education, knowledge, awareness, personal innovativeness, technology maturity, drone durability, reliability in extreme weather, GPS signal, optimal drone routing, noise and visual pollution, and misuse risk, are significant determinants contributing to potential adoption. The findings imply that initiatives encouraging drone should be customized for the intended individuals and that not only drone technology but also the facilitation of efficient operation should be enabled to drive the further uptake of drones. Future research extending the study in various disaster-prone areas and exploring the interrelationships among driving forces on drone acceptance, drone adoption decision making involving various stakeholders, and other customized strategies targeting specific rescuers are hence suggested.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52341,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Disaster Science","volume":"21 ","pages":"Article 100314"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590061724000048/pdfft?md5=6b756b5a3f0bc7848203f166c0ff119b&pid=1-s2.0-S2590061724000048-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139726123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Critical infrastructure entities can use the tool to understand where they might consider infrastructure upgrades to mitigate gaps of delivery following a fault rupture, and to consider their emergency response plans for delivery in an emergency (leading to their consideration of ‘planning emergency levels of service’). Communities can use the tool to understand what infrastructure outages will mean at the household level in an emergency, including the considerable distances that some community members will have to walk to access services such as food and water and prepare for prolonged outages. Finally, with a greater knowledge of the gaps in delivery and of those community members that might need assistance with food and water collection, the emergency management sector can be better prepared.

The results indicate that German FRG remains a predominantly top-down system with citizens being dependent on the functioning of the risk and emergency system. The results of the survey highlight the need for: 1) clarifying and co-defining roles and responsibilities in FRG and making them more transparent; 2) enhancing citizen active involvement in governance and deliberating interactions; 3) rebuilding trust; and 4) creating joint responsibilities between citizens and local authorities. Based on the findings of the study, it became apparent that research on citizen centred FRG is steps ahead of policy and practice.

The average annual frequencies of emergency cases in each zone show a correlation r (17) = 0.4758 with the combined mean risk ranks for each zone. In comparison to socioeconomic factors, which contribute to indirect losses, physical factors directly affect safety and contribute to direct losses. Further, outcomes depict more accidents on Indian Railways during the monsoon (nearly 50%) and cold weather (29%) seasons.

Nearly after two decades of the UNISDR proposal, our study finds that there are still gaps in making IR-EWS operational. Our study also finds that works on conceptualizing integration of resilience against disaster with EWS as part of DRR (in line with SDG-13) has not yet been started. Against this backdrop, in this study we developed an IR-EWS for flood termed as Dynamic Flood Risk Model (DFRM) which contains: (1) simple risk-based warning numbers which are easily understandable and communicable to the community, with risk considered as a proxy for resilience; and (2) capital-based action plans in relation to community capital to reduce disaster risk and increase community resilience against disaster. The DFRM is applied in two flood-prone districts in Bangladesh and found to be acceptable to the community with reasonable accuracy. The model is the customized version of flood for generic IR-EWS.

Based on the first-hand data generated through in-depth interviews, participant observations, focus group discussions with residents aged over 59 years, field visits, and investigations, in this study, we provide information on the shelter-seeking places in Bangladesh during the latest cyclones and analyse the reasons why some residents do not evacuate the affected regions post cyclone warning.

In the context of globalization, organizations face numerous uncertainties and risks, necessitating the implementation of efficient risk management plans. While the conventional risk response analysis assumes independence among risks, in reality, they are interconnected. Therefore, evaluating risk interactions becomes vital in comprehensive risk management evaluations. This study proposes an innovative framework for disaster risk management based on a review of relevant literature, global project management standards, and the insights gained from previous studies dealing with disaster management projects. To identify appropriate risk response strategies, an optimization model is developed that incorporates a maximization utility function and directly captures potential risk interdependence. An exact optimization method and two metaheuristics are proposed to solve the developed optimization model for the selection of risk response strategies. A detailed assessment of the considered solution algorithms in terms of various performance indicators and sensitivity analysis of model parameters are conducted through a comparative study. This analysis provides valuable insights into the effectiveness and practical applicability of the proposed methodology.

Presently, there are no widely accepted tools to assess preparedness in Sri Lankan hospitals. As a first step towards developing a comprehensive tool for local hospitals, a thorough understanding of the existing tools is required. The purpose of this study was to examine the content and the validity and reliability of the tools used for hospital preparedness studies worldwide. A systematic review was conducted on three databases. The chosen study instruments were compared to the WHO's Hospital Emergency Response Checklist to identify the common components. The validity and reliability of those study instruments were also analysed. Out of the 53 selected studies, 26 did not reported either validity or the reliability. The majority of the tools had prioritized human resources and logistics management. Face validation was the frequently used validation method, and internal consistency was the frequently used reliability measure. However, the most hospital preparedness assessments had been conducted without using a reliable instrument. Crucial preparedness aspects were also neglected in majority of the tools. Different methods for assuring the validity and reliability were discovered.
