“…The difference in knowledge mastery was caused by the implementation of the SETS thematic learning integrated with local wisdom. Appropriate treatment and the provision of knowledge specifically delivered in accordance with the regions' characters and community could increase the students' understanding significantly (Andreastuti et al, 2017;Manning & Kushma, 2016;Warsini et al, 2015).…”

This study aimed to improve the mastery of knowledge, attitudes, and skills of students in disaster mitigation in prone areas of volcanic eruptions. The subjects of this research were fifth (V) graders in three elementary schools situated in prone areas of Merapi volcano eruption in Srumbung subdistrict, Magelang regency, Central Java. The data collected in this study consisted of disaster knowledge, attitude, and mitigation practice. The data of disaster knowledge were obtained through a test and analyzed using t-test and N-gain. The attitude data were collected using questionnaire with an improvement analysis using N-gain. The mitigation practice data were collected through observation and analyzed by descriptive percentage for attitudes and skills. The research results showed that the implementation of thematic learning of Science, Environment, Technology, and Society (SETS) integrated with local wisdom was able to reconstruct and increase the disaster management knowledge. This can be seen from the N-gain score obtained by each elementary school which the highest Gain Score was 0.46 and included in the medium category. There was an enhancement attitude toward disaster having the highest Gain Score was 0.77. All disaster mitigation indicators were successfully mastered by more than 70 percent of the students, who were in the good category (70≥X≤85) in all three elementary schools implementing the thematic learning of SETS integrated with local wisdom.

“…Research highlights that while disasters impact all the lives in affected areas, their effects are 'disproportionately imposed upon ethnic minorities, low income families and other vulnerable groups, such as women, children, the elderly and the disabled' (Manning and Kushma, 2016: 249; also Kulkarni et al, 2008;Moore et al, 2004;Sherrard Sherraden and Fox, 1997), particularly in the long term (Sundet and Mermelstein, 1997;Zakour, 1997).…”

“…The first suggested element of good practice is that services need to be responsive to the actual needs of people in a disaster-stricken locality, rather than available donations and external priorities (Bliss and Meehan, 2008;Manning and Kushma, 2016;Pawar, 200;Tang and Cheung, 2007;Webber and Jones, 2013). Most people are likely to need immediate access to temporary accommodation and support to meet their basic needs.…”

“…This is particularly important to emphasise for international services intervening in a disaster context in any country (Huang et al, 2014;Tang and Cheung, 2007;Wang et al, 2013), but also for national services intervening in a disaster-stricken locality within their own country (Manning and Kushma, 2016;Sherrard Sherraden and Fox, 1997;Webber and Jones, 2013).…”

“…Research literature also suggests the need for better linkages between international social work and emergency management communities (Manning and Kushma, 2016). Some international organisations, such as the Red Cross Society of Taiwan, recognise and have given social work a significant role in providing disaster relief, underpinned by emphasis on human rights (Wang et al, 2013).…”

Based on a rapid review of social work research literature on natural disasters, this article offers an original synthesis of lessons about the nature and organisation of social services in the context of natural disasters. Drawing on social practice theory, existing intervention models are problematised, offering a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics between diverse types and levels of organisation, differing constituencies of disaster survivors, and differing environments in which they encounter. The paper also identifies elements of good organisational practice and sets an agenda for wider professional debate on the role of social work in international social development practice.

In this paper we show how EVPPI analysis can be a good tool to formalize the decision making process leading the design and implementation of interventions aimed at preventing and controlling the consequences of extraordinary events. More concretely we the economics of emergency as the approach aimed at defining how to identify which interventions would be more efficient to be implemented in order to minimize the risk of incurring in unexpected circumstances/events. Our rationale is that when dealing with complex decisions potentially leading to extraordinary circumstances, the first step for a decision makers should be to minimize the sources of uncertainty by mean of further research. This would inevitably entail investments and reallocation of resources. Our approach aims to define how to decide where is more efficient to intervene. Our paper provides a theoretical framework of the EVPPI and an application based on a hypothetical natural disaster. In the last section we discuss the limits of our approach and implications for further research.
