“…In particular, this paper has demonstrated as to how the decision is mechanised in a disaster event when the knowledge trigger either comes from external factors that is environmental changes (reactive) or based on the initiative of the authorities for managing the disaster (proactive). This issue essentially has been a continuing concern in DM research stream for instance as recognised by these scholars (Dorasamy et al, 2017;Doyle et al, 2014;Fogli et al, 2017). The central issue raised and becoming the main concern is that the complete knowledge elements as a prerequisite for a better decision making process should be in place and fit not only for those who are in the decision making level but also for those who are in the planning and real world levels.…”

“…Nevertheless, in their researches, the issues on how the knowledge deposited is able to be retrieved by stakeholders for the decision making processes remains unclear. While in other approach, for instance in here (Dorasamy et al, 2017), they also develop an integrated knowledge management system for DSS in DM nonetheless, the issue of how the knowledge is sourced as well as decomposing the fuzzy and intertwined of it into an understandable format based on the urgency of the DM timeline remains unspecified.…”

In Disaster Management (DM), a Decision Support System (DSS) first and foremost requires a sufficient amount of representative knowledge to avail it to authorities who need it. A challenge in providing DM knowledge is that relevant authorities are often varied with different requirements. The knowledge may be needed and presented differently according to the decision making process whether it be for planning/policy making or responding operationally to a real time situation. This reality is reflected in the fact that DSS in DM is often focussed on very specific set of tasks e.g. evacuation, logistic or coordination and/or DM phase specific e.g. Preparedness or Response only. However, the trigger for accessing such knowledge is often an external change be it environmental or organisational. Hence, a variety of views or stakeholders are often involved. DM is a complex domain and various concerns and phases are often intertwined. This work advocates a unified access based on a unified representation of the various phases and concerns. The paper contributes to development of the required hybrid mechanisms, some are top down and others are bottom up. The proposed DSS architecture and its development lifecycle accommodate interests of varying DM decision makers. A knowledge conversion process centred on the Meta Object Facility (MOF) is used to structure and disentangle the knowledge for those different interests and roles. A real case study of the recent Mt. Agung volcano eruption in Bali Indonesia is successfully used to demonstrate the efficacy of the development process and the resultant DSS.

“…The development of knowledge and attitude towards disaster preparedness and response is important to be conducted by educational institutions as a part of the knowledge management system. Knowledge management systems in the disaster emergency management education have become an important priority at this time because the catastrophic events can indiscriminately devastate all humans worldwide (Dorasamy, Murali, & Kaliannan, 2017). TTE is useful in determining the important role of team members in improving the speed and quality of responses in disaster drills.…”

Background: Tabletop Exercise (TTE) is a specific learning method through a simulation designed to test the competency and the ability of a group to respond to disasters. Using the map of disaster events is considered effective to prepare disaster drills rather than other methods. TTE method has been carried out annually to train the students, however no studies reported the effect of this method.Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of TTE on enhancing nursing students’ knowledge and attitude in a disaster drill. Methods: This study was conducted with one-group pre and post-test of a quasi-experimental design. The total samplings were 80 nursing students of the fourth year who undertook the disaster nursing course. The intervention of the study was started using the scenario of an earthquake disaster simulation using TTE media divided into four groups. The instruments consisted of two questionnaires: Students’ Knowledge on Tabletop Exercise (SKTE), and Students' Attitude on Tabletop Exercise (SATE) which were tested for their validity and reliability. The data were analyzed using a dependent paired t-test. Results: The study showed that TTE had a positive effect in enhancing the knowledge (p=0.001) and the attitude of nursing students in disaster drills (p=0.001) (df=79). Conclusion: TTE intervention was an effective direct learning method to improve students’ competencies in disaster response. TTE might be considered as a learning method in improving students' competencies in preparing disaster drills.

Frequently port safety accidents have resulted in port safety problems becoming the focus of increasing attention. Port safety assessment is an important basis in preventing port safety accidents. Owing to complicated influencing factors of port safety, assessing port safety effectively has been a key research topic in the industry and academe. To determine port safety assessment indexes reasonably and acquire practical assessment results, the port safety assessment index system based on 5M (man, machine, material, management, and milieu) was established first. Then, weights of all assessment indexes were determined by the entropy weight method, and the port safety assessment model was constructed by matterelement theory. Finally, the assessment model was verified by ports in Zhejiang Province of China. Results demonstrate that the material factor presents the highest average weight among all evaluation indexes. The accident rate of goods and qualified rate of pollution control are two indexes with the highest weights. The port safety assessment results based on the entropy weight matter-element model conform to practical situations. Thus, the port safety assessment model based on entropy weight matter-element theory can measure port safety level effectively and evaluate its feasibility in practical cases. The model offsets shortcomings of single theory assessment and provides a new idea and decision-making method for port safety assessment.
