“…However, after participation in the program, changes in the scores suggested that the participants were able to develop a relationship in preparation for disaster. This suggests that the program fosters community resilience (22), which is important for disaster preparedness, and consequently increases the capacity of the community (23) to help in disaster recovery (24). This result coincided with the responses from the group interview, such as "Wanting to devise ways to involve people with a low awareness of mutual assistance in the program" and "Wanting to communicate the need for mutual assistance to those not in a regional, independent disaster-prevention organization."…”

The purpose of this study is to create and evaluate a program to enhance the mutual-assistance capability of community members to safeguard their health during time spent in evacuation shelters after a disaster. In previous research, "Supporting people in need of assistance after a disaster, " the participants' awareness of the need for mutual assistance was low and their relevant knowledge and skills were insufficient. Accordingly, this became a priority in the developed program. Twenty-eight people at six different facilities participated in the program. We collected data using a questionnaire survey and group interview with the participants. After conducting the program, the participants' mean scores of mutual-assistance capability were higher than the mean pre-study scores for 25 out of 26 items. The results of group interview implied that the participants acquired [Realization of issues], and not only shared a [Sense of crisis among participants] but also felt a [Sense of responsibility for mutual assistance in the community]. We considered that our mutual-assistance training program at the time of a disaster is effective for developing mutual assistance for safeguarding health where local residents are unprepared to support those in evacuation shelters requiring assistance after a disaster.

“…Finally, decentralization is crucial for building resilience and is understood as a distribution of governance to facilitate knowledge exchange and resource sharing, and to promote local responsibility for self-management and more balanced decision-making amongst actors and across scales [72,73]. Moreover, in the highly centralized Chilean political and administrative system [74], the attribute of decentralization becomes inseparable from a broader, regional, public demand for greater participation in decision making processes ( Table 3 expresses the variation between regional and metropolitan preferences).…”

Unpacking Resilience for Adaptation: Incorporating Practitioners’ Experiences through a Transdisciplinary Approach to the Case of Drought in Chile

Current debate on the implementation of resilience in addressing climatic impacts calls for more pragmatic means of reducing losses. In this study we aimed to generate context-specific knowledge about resilience factors for addressing the impacts of drought, with the expectation that bringing forth experiential knowledge on how impacts were addressed in the past would shed light on what constitutes key resilience factors for practitioners working in urban contexts. The study was carried in three of the largest cities in Chile: Santiago, Concepción, and Valdivia. The analytical framework consists of urban and regional resilience incorporating transdisciplinary approaches applying the Resilience-Wheel tool, combined with participatory methods for the co-production of knowledge and qualitative content analysis of documents and workshops. Results show that key determinants of building resilience to drought were: improving education and access to information, enhancing preparedness, promoting technology transfer, reinforcing organizational linkages and collaboration, decentralizing governance, and encouraging citizen participation. The Resilience-Wheel was useful for navigating the conceptual complexity and diversity of perspectives inherent among social actors. The transdisciplinary approach allowed us to co-produce key knowledge that can be applied to build resilience in future, through a bottom-up approach that bridges the science-policy interface.

“…These responses require working across agencies and can continue long after the event has passed 2,4 . While the work of other health service providers in disaster response relates to the extent of physical damage and injuries, the public health response can be stretched even when the number of injuries/cases is small, due to the need to provide public education/information, to reassure the ‘worried well’, and undertake surveillance for immediate and consequent health impacts 6 …”
