A Structural Review on Disaster Management Models and Their Contributions

Abstract

This qualitative study aimed to undertake a critical examination of the models by thematic analysis to determine their contribution to disaster management. A review and analysis of the literature were used. The models were studied to explore their contribution to disaster management and to identify any significant constraints or challenges which could limit the ability of the models to carry out appropriate disaster risk reduction actions. The study found that such models are indispensable because they simplify and improve disaster management. Additionally, they may support planners, managers, and practitioners in reaching proper decisions, making them valuable and necessary decision-making support tools. The study also found that the four key phases of disaster management – mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery – constitute the basis of the majority of models. The study also showed that each model has an advantage that distinguishes it from the other models. The findings also confirmed the doubts raised about the limitations and concerns associated with the models. Concerns included future disasters’ unpredictability, the models’ prescriptive nature, and the impact on businesses. The findings also indicated that certain planners, managers, and practitioners had a limited understanding of the use of models in disaster management. As such, they appear to have overlooked the use of models while dealing with disasters. Hence, the study recommends that the models should be employed in all disaster management phases. The study also recommends that the findings are utilized as a basis for further research into the potential use of disaster management models.

Drought Disaster Management Policy: a Proposal for a Regional Disaster Management Master Plan in East Lombok Regency, Indonesia

“…Another study by Poonia et al (2022) revealed that 82% of drought cases in Central India were attributed to dry soil moisture. In order to anticipate the threat of drought in the area study, a long-term disaster management plan is essential as a reference for policymaking when a disaster occurs (Alrehaili et al, 2022;Ruswandi & Maarif, s2023). However, the study findings indicate that such a document must be available at the East Lombok Regency BPBD Office.…”

“…Manajemen bencana bertujuan untuk mengurangi atau menghindari potensi kerugian akibat bencana, menjamin bantuan yang cepat dan tepat kepada korban bencana, dan mencapai pemulihan yang cepat dan efektif [17]. Siklus manajemen bencana tersebut terdiri dari mitigasi dan kesiapsiagaan, tanggap darurat dan pemulihan [2] [16]. Upaya mitigasi dan kesiapsiagaan dilaksanakan sebelum bencana terjadi, sedangkan upaya tanggap darurat terjadi saat bencana terjadi dan upaya pemulihan terjadi setelah bencana.…”
