“…They argue that given this complexity, it is critical for researchers to continue developing decision support systems that can lead to more timely and effective decision making. They also note that much of the literature is generally motivated by planning for a specific disaster event (Chacko et al, 2014;Chacko et al, 2016;Overstreet et al, 2011), and discussions on goals have typically focused on addressing immediate needs of a current emergency or a disaster at hand. They argued that such approaches miss out on the opportunity to consider information about long-term community stability and viability (Bealt & Mansouri, 2018;Habsburg-Lothringen, 2015).…”

The global impact of COVID-19 has been devastating. The grim mantra of new norm repeated the world over indicates that COVID-19, unlike previous disasters, negates the possibility of bouncing back. As such, we need to rethink how we conceptualize community resilience, moving away from the nostalgic ideas of bounce back, and embracing the notion of bounce forward. Indeed, humans have bounced back from seven coronaviruses in the likes of common colds, and the SARS and MERS pandemics. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, spreads much faster than past pandemics and brings paradigmatic changes with widespread effects pervading various facets of life, from the social to the economic aspects. Past preparations had mainly focused on stopping transmission and largely neglected the socio-economics repercussions. In this paper, communication is proposed to play a central role in fostering community resilience in the bounce-forward notion in pandemics. The roles of communication in the long-term stability and viability of communities, in the bounce-forward notion, has been understudied. In addition to disseminating information and creating awareness, communication can also act as a vital enabler to break down silos, share knowledge, ensure equitable access, and foster vertical and horizontal, top-down and bottom-up working relationships. More needs to be explained on the centrality of communication in capacity building, adaptation to new realities and seizing opportunities that the current media and communication landscapes have to offer. Pandemics will be our new normal, thus, we need to gear up, to avoid the 'coronacoma' that we are experiencing with COVID-19.

“…The literature on sustainable disaster planning is extensive but limited in some key areas. Chacko et al (2016) formed a model for ex ante budgeting and planning for both mitigation and resilience. However, his work did not deal explicitly with uncertainty in event and severity forecasts.…”

Disaster Risk Planning With Fuzzy Goal Programming

The uncertainty in the timing and severity of disaster events makes the long‐term planning of mitigation and recovery actions both critical and extremely difficult. Planners often use expected values for hazard occurrences, leaving communities vulnerable to worse‐than‐usual and even so‐called “black swan” events. This research models disasters in terms of their best‐case, most‐likely, and worst‐case damage estimates. These values are then embedded in a fuzzy goal programming model to provide community planners and stakeholders with the ability to strategize for any range of events from best‐case to worst‐case by adjusting goal weights. Examples are given illustrating the modeling approach, and an analysis is provided to illustrate how planners might use the model as a planning tool.

“…Research related to disaster mitigation is usually done to see the process of activities conducted, evaluation and approach used (Wu et al, 2019;Kaban et al, 2019;Karashima, 2019;World Bank, 2016;Duncan et al, 2018;Guinet et al, 2017;Chacko et al, 2016;Asri et al, 2016;Muricho, 2018;Rajeev et al, 2019;P, 2020;Chou et al, 2017;Pancasilawan, 2020). As for the study of the system that has a role in disaster mitigation is still not much found.…”

Pagerwangi village is one of the regions of Bandung Barat that are prone to natural disasters such as avalanches especially earthquakes. Its geographical location falls within the red zone of the Lembang fault. So that in prediction would be one of the affected areas due to tectonic earthquakes stemming from the faulting of the Lembang fault. Disaster prevention programs are already being conducted by the government along with other parties such as educational agencies and civic groups. The study aims to analyze how disaster mitigation implementations through the Functional Structural approach theory based on four aspect of Integration, adaptation, maintenance patterns, and goal achievement. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The results of the study showed a mismatch in the integration aspects, leading to obstacles in the process of adaptation of the community in disaster mitigation
