This study examines the impacts that an emergency had on people’s preparedness levels, using the December 2013 Ice Storm in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) as a case. A questionnaire consisting of three sections was developed to measure the associated impacts, people’s reactions/opinions, as well as their preparedness levels before and after the ice storm. The goal of the research is not only to discuss the factors that influenced people’s ability to prepare, respond to and recover from the ice storm but also to generate useful insights for future disasters that are similar in nature. Our analysis includes various aspects such as the effectiveness of advance warnings and their ability to disseminate information to mass audiences. The findings show that, most of the respondents believe that they learned a lot about ice storms and their impacts because of their prior experience; a significant majority believe that it is the city’s/municipality’s responsibility to prepare for emergencies like ice storms; home ownership was significantly associated with the previous ice storm preparedness; and, power outage experience was significantly associated with the next ice storm preparedness.

The flood is one of the extreme weather events in the world. In Sri Lanka, it is a major natural disaster that mainly occurs in the South-West and the North-East monsoon seasons. The human response strategies are explained in the concepts of the disaster management cycle in the PRE and POST stages. People do not satisfactorily respond during these stages in the study area. There have been no systematic studies conducted on how people responded before, during, and after the floods in Kandawalai. The main objective of this study was to examine human responses to PRE flood situations (mitigation and preparedness). This study selected three GN divisions. Questionnaires, surveys, and interviews were carried out to collect primary data and information. The data was analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Some preparedness and mitigation were undertaken by the Disaster Management Centre (DMC) in Kilinochchi during the PRE flood stage. To reduce floods, the community has used very simple community-based mitigation measures. Only 43% of them took part in flood-awareness programs that taught them how to evacuate from flood-prone areas and how to respond to early warning systems.57% of respondents mentioned that the flood impact could be reduced through better structural mitigation strategies. 10% of the respondents recommended controlling the illegal activities of sewage disposal and soil mining in the Kanakarayan River. The PRE-flood activities should be considered by relevant stakeholders together with community participation, but the government has the main responsibility for mitigating the impacts of the floods in this particular area.

Clinical clerkship students are one of the communities who are always in the hospital environment and have been provided with fire disaster management materials through training and simulations. The hospital has provided complete fire disaster management facilities and infrastructure. However, the problem is that there is no information about clinical clerkship student preparedness for fire disasters in hospitals. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between perceptions of the availability of hospital facilities and infrastructure to the level of fire disaster preparedness among clinical clerkship students in the Zainoel Abidin Hospital. This study used an analytical method with a cross-sectional design. The sample of this study was the clinical clerkship students of the Faculty of Medicine, Syiah Kuala University, who were taken by proportional stratified random sampling, totaling 117 people. The data was collected using an online questionnaire that has been tested for its validity and reliability. Data analysis was performed univariate and bivariate using the chi-square test. The results showed that the clinical clerkship student had a good perception regarding facilities and infrastructure in the hospital (68.4%), while the attitude of preparedness to face fire disasters in the hospital showed a high level (80.3%). The Chi-square test results showed that there was a significant relationship between the clinical clerkship student perception regarding facilities and infrastructure in hospitals and fire disaster preparedness (p = 0,000). The conclusion of this study showed that the good perceptions of clinical clerkship students about the availability of fire disaster management facilities and infrastructure increase fire disaster preparedness in the hospital. This study recommends the importance of training and fire disaster management simulation to be continuously carried out on clinical clerkship students to improve the quality of disaster preparedness communities.

Family resilience plays an important role, especially in dealing with prolonged problems or crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The absence of family resilience might result in family breakdown, decreased family function in decision making, and destroy values in family life. This study aims to determine the effect of belief systems, organizational patterns, and family communication on COVID-19 prevention behavior within the framework of family resilience. The study focuses on factors that most likely influence COVID-19 prevention behavior. This research is a descriptive-analytic study using a cross-sectional approach. A total of 100 respondents representing households in the Banten province filled out an online questionnaire using Google Form. In this study, the multivariate analysis used is multiple logistic regression. The analysis showed that the variables that had significant relationships with COVID-19 prevention behavior were the belief system (p = 0.005), family organization (p = 0.008), and family communication (p = 0.001). The results of this study also show that family communication is the most related variable with an odds ratio of 2694, which means that family communication has the greatest influence of 2-3 times of ?? in efforts to prevent COVID-19.

Fire disaster preparedness (FDP) is of paramount importance in preventing the globe’s most prevalent disaster. This has been a big issue for developing nations. The study investigated FDP among residents in a high-income community of a part in Southwestern Nigeria. The aim of the study was to identify the preparedness of residents regarding fire disasters in residential buildings in Parakin, Ife Central Local Government Area of Osun State, Nigeria. To achieve the objectives, a quantitative study was carried out, primary data was sourced from structured, self-administered questionnaires. 80 buildings was purposively selected for the study. Affiliated literature was reviewed. Descriptive statistical tools such as frequency distribution and percentage was used in analysing the data. Chi-square tests at a significance level of 0.05 was done. SPSS version 23.0 was used in analysing all the data. Findings revealed that FDP is very low in the study area as respondents have very little or no firefighting facilities or gadgets, awareness, training about FDP. Chi-square tests revealed that there was no statistical significance between age of respondents and preparedness, ownership of home and preparedness, education and preparedness and sex and preparedness. It was established that preparedness for fire is very low. The study, however, recommended the provision of active and passive fire protection facilities in buildings, proper training of building users on FDP, enabling laws are also needed to promote the installation of fire protection, prevention, detection and suppression.
