Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Disaster Management (a.k.a. Emergency management). We have three main work areas:

  • Theoretical and background information, including the phrases: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. This section also covers methods for managing disasters.
  • Hazards and their impacts, which cause disasters. Examples of hazards include, earthquakes, drought and epidemics. When those hazards impact people, it creates a disaster, such as the Boxing Day tsunami and the World Trade center attack).
  • Organisations and Individuals involved in disaster management

Thank you for taking the time to be a part of educating Wikipedians about managing disasters. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

Standards[edit]

Definition, scope & structure[edit]

No classification of this project has been agreed upon. The subject is being discussed by project members on a dedicated talk page.The scope of this WikiProject is any article relating to policies as well as implementations of disaster management. This include emergency services operations (police, ambulance, and fire service) as well as the phenomenological description of natural and man-made hazards. It also include individual disastrous events, e.g. hurricane Katrina and the Ethiopian famine in the 1980s.

Naming convention[edit]

Main page: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disaster management/Naming

A naming convention for such articles is also definitely required. It has been decided that all articles concerning individual disasters should be <<year>> <<place>> <<event>>. To illustrate the point with an example, the article October 11, 2006 New York City plane crash was recently renamed to 2006 New York City plane crash

The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team requests that more disaster articles be assessed as to their quality and importance. To help facilitate this, Template:Disaster management could be modified to accept optional quality and importance arguments (and by default add articles to an 'unassessed' category). See Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Using the bot for how to do this and how to set things up so a bot will automatically keep track of statistics on assessed articles. After the setup is completed, volunteers will need to go through Category:Disasters and assess all the articles there and in appropriate subcategories. (See below for ideas.) Some articles have been assessed already:

  • Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/WPHumanities#Wikipedia:WikiProject_Disaster_management.

Checklist

This is a quick checklist of things to look for when systematically assessing articles, especially those for disaster events. If you find deficiencies you don't have time to fix yourself, create a to do list at the top of the article's talk page by adding {{To do}} there. Then you can edit the to do list and add items to it.

Management
  • Assign quality and importance according to the definitions at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment. See the top of the talk page of the article of interest to see if this has already been done.
  • Is the article in the correct categories?
  • Does the title comply with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (most common English name) and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (events)?
  • Does the first paragraph give a concise explanation of the subject, including alternate names in bold, location, major causes, and major outcomes?
  • Does the article use the correct infobox? Is everything in the infobox filled in?
  • Is there a concise assessment of the loss to human life?
  • Is there a concise assessment of the financial losses? Are figures clearly labeled as to whether they are in (for instance) 1900 dollars or 2007 dollars? Is a modern inflation-adjusted estimate available?
  • Does the article cite its sources using footnotes, especially for statistics?
  • Does the article have a map showing the area affected?
  • Does the article have a photograph illustrating the event?
  • Is the article in need of wikification, copy-editing, or other cleanup?
  • Major articles should be linked from lists such as List of wars and disasters by death toll, and the statistics presented in lists need to be consistent with those found in articles (which hopefully have references)

Generating Awareness On Disaster Management

« Previous: 3 Benefits and Challenges of an Integrated Disaster Information Network

The current “nonsystem” for providing information for disaster management is not effectively utilizing a wealth of information that resides with various organizations. Existing technologies could deliver to disaster managers important new information products that could save lives, reduce damage to property, and lessen the environmental impacts of natural disasters. Continued improvements in technology should help make information more widely, quickly, and reliably available—and at less cost. The current situation is characterized by numerous shortcomings that inhibit optimal decision-making for disaster management. The inability to access information and the lack of standardization, coordination, and communication are all obstacles that a disaster information network (DIN) could overcome. It is recommended that the Global Disaster Information Network (GDIN) Transition Team move ahead in planning for a disaster information network, taking into account the following conclusions from the present study:

  • The need for an improved information network and its potential benefits are clear.Chapter 3 establishes the need for an improved disaster information system. There can be no justification for continuing in the current mode of nonstandard disparate resources when available modern technologies would make their linkage into one system a relatively straightforward matter, with obvious potential payoffs in saving lives and reducing losses if the system is utilized effectively.
  • The foundations for an information network are already in place. While a significant undertaking, establishing a DIN would build on a substantial foundation that already exists. The most costly element of building the basic databases is well under way, and the community of users already exists. A network could be established initially by coordinating existing information resources and developing standards and protocols to ensure their reliability and usability and effectively linking with the user

  • community. The cost of establishing the information system would be trivial compared with the cost already spent in developing the resources.

  • into a standardized format and providing data to the DIN, although a much easier task today because of the Internet than in the past, still require the commitment of resources, especially human resources. Many of the data are created through research or monitoring programs that do not have disaster management as their principal purpose. These organizations should be offered federal incentives to participate in the system because without the raw data the DIN would have nothing to communicate.

    Successful implementation of a DIN will require a commitment of resources from a broad spectrum of stakeholders and sustained organizational and individual commitment of material, financial, and human resources by DIN users and providers. While resource capability varies and not all DIN participants may be able to commit material or financial resources, each has a professional obligation to actively commit human resources.

  • The products of a DIN should be based from the outset on users' needs. The success or failure of an information system is determined by the level of effort and support given to it by its constituency. Thus, it is paramount that broad representation of elements making up the community of users and providers be intimately involved in all aspects of the startup phase of a DIN. This includes such tasks as further defining the initial concept and evolving program plans for the overall system and an operating strategy. The importance of early ownership of a DIN by a wide variety of users and providers cannot be overstated. In this regard, the GDIN Transition Team is encouraged to consider other programs such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Earth Science Enterprise Federation, an activity designed to disseminate information about the earth at a variety of scales (NRC, 1998b).

    In order for the DIN to provide value-added services and products, it must be responsive to the immediate and future information needs of users. The critical prerequisite is systematic and continuous involvement of an information users' representative from the disaster management community in the design, development, operation, and maintenance of the DIN throughout its evolution. Involvement means establishment of a user/provider forum wherein information users and data providers openly discuss their capabilities and needs and together address each of the major natural hazards in the context of each of the four emergency management system phases (mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery). Through the forum the needs of existing and new users could be defined through a taxonomy of user profiles that define the type, format, specificity, timeliness, and accuracy of disaster information desired for specific natural hazards.

    Thus, through user/provider activities, opportunities for avoiding redundancy and reducing disaster management costs could be realized by

  • improved and better use of existing data collection and data management technologies in activities such as outreach programs and National Research Council. 1999. Reducing Disaster Losses Through Better Information. Washington, DC: The National Academies Press. doi: 10.17226/6363.

itself as a credible tool for use during critical events. Developers of the DIN should consult with emergency managers, behavioral scientists, and other professionals on how best to address this issue.

Some of the most useful information products for disaster management could be derived by merging real-time with archival information. Some examples are as follows:

  • Preparing for an approaching hurricane requires incorporating meteorological data into models that predict storm track and storm surge and then overlaying the results on maps showing population distribution, evacuation routes, deployment of emergency personnel and supplies, and other relevant response information.
  • Responding to an earthquake involves rapid determination of magnitude and location followed by modeling to predict ground shaking and damage, which requires soil maps and building inventories, culminating in an assessment of losses and response requirements.
  • Assessing the threat of rising floodwaters requires analysis of real-time stream gage data, modeling river basin and channel hydraulics, predicting the ability of levees and other defense structures to contain the flow, and anticipating problems.

Capabilities for integrating information would be especially helpful to disaster managers during the occurrence of compound disasters. For example, an earthquake in Southern California that occurs when Santa Ana winds are blowing off the Mojave Desert could result in widespread and difficult-to-contain wildfires. The capability to integrate earthquake and wildfire modeling could be crucial in responding. Download film hot shot basketball subtitle indonesia. Similarly, the combination of a volcanic eruption and ash fall with heavy rain, such as occurred in the Philippines when Mt. Pinatubo erupted and Typhoon Yunya hit in 1991, would require integration of information to predict the weight of ash deposits on roofs, among numerous effects, as well as the ability to move equipment in such conditions. Add to this the occurrence of an earthquake, which did happen later in the Philippines, and the need for integration of information becomes of paramount importance.

Rapid information integration would also be of critical value in predicting or responding to technological or environmental problems caused by a natural hazard. Earthquakes can cause dams to breach or rupture fuel storage tanks, landslides can break pipelines, and fires can destroy wildlife habitats. Timely information delivered to the right decision makers clearly would significantly reduce losses. Descargar solo crack para plants vs zombies hackeado. Special attention should be paid to automatic

data integration, for example, to trigger alarms, so as to assure accuracy of data and avoidance of false alarms.

  • Data and information quality and reliability are major issues that need to be addressed. Although the Internet provides the means for accessing information resources, it does nothing to assure their quality and reliability. It would be easy to fall into the trap of thinking that more information is always better; however, bad information likely will lead to bad decisions. Thus, one of the challenges of a DIN would be how to evaluate the reliability of the information in the system.

    Emergency managers face a particular challenge in using disaster information because of the critical time-constrained nature of their situation. Therefore, a DIN would need to provide mechanisms for emergency managers to evaluate the reliability of data and information they receive. Data provided by government agencies, for example, should come with specific quality assurances, including dating. It is obvious that emergency managers who try to use a DIN for the first time during a crisis would be the most likely to have problems, which points to the importance of training.

  • An effective dissemination and access plan is critical to the success of any information system. Time and attention are scarce resources and limit the amount of data that individuals and groups will want to collect. Awareness of the decision-making processes and biases of individuals is needed in order to design a useful disaster information system. Connectivity between users and sources of data and information should be assured in the design of a DIN. This linkage would be provided through the Internet, but in time of emergencies access to the Internet is likely to be disrupted. Because emergency management staffs must have access to communications, robustness and redundancy are critical elements of the system.

    Although the Internet may provide the common network for dissemination of information, the principles of robustness and redundancy lead to examination of other means and methods to achieve assured connectivity. Potential means and methods include private nets such as Intranet or Extranet, which allow controlled access to special communities, thus avoiding some connectivity problems in time of emergencies. At the source nodes, allowances for emergency managers to have priority access to information in time for decision-making should be implemented. Such procedures are not easily achieved on a national basis and will require additional administrative overhead and support.

  • The GDIN Transition Team should focus initially on establishing a national DIN (i.e., with a U.S. focus), but the model should be extended to a global process (GDIN) as soon as it can be demonstrated that a DIN is technically and organizationally feasible. The team members represent agencies with generally limited international missions and experiences. It would be advisable to concentrate on development of a national process where agencies are most familiar and information technologies are well advanced. The process could be extended as soon as the U.S. model works reasonably well both technically and organizationally. Disasters are worldwide issues, and many of the relevant phenomena are global in nature. The International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction1 has heightened global awareness of the value of disaster information and opened lines of communication relevant to disaster issues, factors that should help facilitate extension of a DIN from U.S. to global proportions.
