“…To take into account marginalized groups makes sense. Marginalized populations are differently impacted [103], encounter many problems in relation to emergencies and disasters [6,11,39,40, including being dismissed [116], ignored [105][106][107][108][109][110][111][112]119] or overlooked [41,104] in emergency and disaster discussions and actions and the EDMPP literacy level about marginalized groups is low [113,114,119,149,[155][156][157][158]. Marginalized people can contribute needed EDMPP-relevant data on the 'social' to decrease the gap in the literacy of people involved in EDMPP.…”

The importance of emergency and disaster management, preparedness, and planning (EDMPP) is ever increasing with COVID-19 being one recent EDMPP challenge. EDMPP is impacted by and impacts the ‘social’ of individuals and societies. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the ‘social’ is important for providing EDMPP. Marginalized populations are over-proportionally impacted by emergencies and disasters and often overlooked in EDMPP. Therefore, it is especially important to understand the lived experience of marginalized groups and to involve marginalized groups in providing knowledge for EDMPP. Technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning and reasoning, e-coaching, other decision support systems and Bayesian belief networks are increasingly employed for EDMPP. However, biases and other problems in the use of technologies for EDMPP are noted. Understanding the ‘social’ of marginalized populations and others is essential for designing algorithms and other technologies that are not biased towards marginalized populations and others. The phrase “equity, diversity, and inclusion” (EDI), other EDI linked phrases, and EDI frameworks are increasingly employed in workplaces to improve research, education, and workplace environments for marginalized groups such as women, Indigenous Peoples, visible minorities, racialized minorities, disabled people, people with disabilities and LGBTQ2S+. EDMPP actors are workers. Using EDI in EDMPP could improve the EDMPP situation of marginalized groups by encouraging knowledge production by and about marginalized groups related to EDMPP. The main objective of this study was to map out the engagement with the ‘social’, EDI and marginalized groups in the EDMPP-focused academic literature in general and the EDMPP academic literature covering disabled people, patients, technologies and COVID-19. A scoping review using the academic databases SCOPUS, Web of Science, and the databases accessible under Compendex and EBSCO-HOST were employed to fulfill the objectives. The study found little coverage of marginalized populations and EDI phrases and frameworks, and a lack of many terms linked to the ‘social’ in the literature searched. These gaps need to be filled given the importance of EDMPP to the ‘social’ of individuals and societies.

“…Moreover, ensuring the disaster preparedness of schools for children with special health care needs is particularly important, because in such schools there is a high percentage of people who need support and equipment in the event of a disaster. The creation of an efficient plan for disaster management, including children with special health care needs, would help to achieve better outcomes [18].…”

Relationship between Teachers’ Awareness of Disaster Prevention and Concerns about Disaster Preparedness

Disaster preparedness in schools is critical for the health and well-being of students and staff. To enhance disaster preparedness, awareness of disaster prevention should be raised among teachers. The aim of the current study was to assess disaster prevention awareness among teachers and to clarify the relationship between disaster prevention awareness and concern regarding disaster preparedness. Teachers from special needs schools, for which disaster preparedness is particularly important, were selected. Study questionnaires were sent to 1310 schools for children with special health care needs across 47 Japanese prefectures. Five-hundred-and-thirty-one complete responses were obtained. The disaster preparedness in the schools was insufficient. Teachers were concerned about child management, life saving, life maintenance, evacuation shelter management, and school management. There was a positive correlation between disaster prevention awareness and concern about disaster (r = 0.217, p-value = 0.000). The disaster awareness scale items “A sense of crisis about disaster” and “Anxiety” were positively correlated with concern about disaster, whereas “Imagining the disaster situation” was negatively correlated with concern about disaster. The current study analyzed the relationship between disaster prevention awareness and concern regarding disaster preparedness, which is relevant for the practice and indicates the importance of imagination strengthening.
