“…Under knowledge and learning we grouped activities with the purpose of increasing response capacity based on improved understanding of the hazard. Examples of this type include raising tsunami awareness and developing a culture of tsunami preparedness in communities in Japan and in the Philippines (Esteban et al, 2013b). In Iceland, residents acquired specialist knowledge about cultivating ashimpacted soil after a volcanic eruption (Bird and Gísladóttir, 2012).…”

Abstract. Community-based disaster preparedness is an important component of disaster management. Knowledge of interventions that communities utilize in response to hazards is important to develop local-level capacity and increase community resilience. This paper systematically examines empirical information about local-level responses to hazards based on peer-reviewed, published case studies. We developed a data set based on 188 articles providing information from 318 communities from all regions of the world. We classified response examples to address four key questions: (i) what kinds of responses are used by communities all over the world? (ii) Do communities in different parts of the world use different kinds of responses? (iii) Are communities using hazard-specific responses? (iv) Are communities using a multi-hazard approach? We found that within an extensive literature on hazards, there is relatively little empirical information about community-based responses to hazards. Across the world, responses aiming at securing basic human needs are the most frequently reported kinds of responses. Although the notion of community-based disaster preparedness is gaining importance, very few examples of responses that draw on the social fabric of communities are reported. Specific regions of the world are lacking in their use of certain hazard responses classes. Although an all-hazard approach for disaster preparedness is increasingly recommended, there is a lack of multi-hazard response approaches on the local level.

“…From among them, this paper chose three nations, Korea, Indonesia, and the United States, for a comparison. These three were chosen not because Japan and Chile are unimportant for a comparison, but because some major lessons have already been drawn based from their cases (Esteban et al ., ,, pp. 695–700).…”

This study compares Korean, Indonesian, and US tsunami awareness, the ultimate goal being to reduce human loss, economic damage, and psychological impact resulting from tsunamis. Using the comparative perspective, the study examines the start of Korean awareness of tsunamis, tsunami awareness in Indonesia, and US tsunami awareness with mitigation. Three components are examined: government policy, researchers' efforts, and residents' readiness. The value of this study lies in its initial and systematic comparison of these three nations' approach towards tsunami awareness. It recommends that each nation learn from the major phases of other types of awareness to achieve its ultimate goal.

“…Various strategies can increase the extent of tsunami awareness. These strategies include government policy, infrastructure, education and training, and awareness campaigns (Esteban et al, 2013a(Esteban et al, ,2013b. According to USAID IOTWS, 2007, the eight fundamental approaches towards coastal community resilience to tsunamis to reduce risk and adapt to change are governance, society and economy, coastal resources management, land use and structural design, risk knowledge, warning and evacuation, emergency response, and disaster recovery.…”

The Tsunami disaster was the first and the biggest in Banten Province. However, in response to the health crisis, the preparedness was still lacking, even though in an emergency response situation, the management of disaster management carried out was quite good. The method of research is based on data reports that include quantitative and qualitative methods. Analyzing health facilities and the impacts that occurred in the field during the tsunami period is the basis for this article and, at the same time, a discussion of describing problems that can be anticipated in the future.
