Interactive Model of Disaster risk & Disaster management: The Egg Model

Abstract

A conceptual model is always a suitable way to show the relationship between the different components of a process or among different processes. In the field of incident management, there are several models. However, there is almost no simple, natural, conceptual model to show the relationship between disaster risk management. In this article, a new model, which is called the Egg model, including the shell, the white (albumen) and the yellow (yolk) parts, is introduced. In which, risk management includes three steps. The first step is the assignment of a body, either a person, team or organization, as responsible (the resembling the shell). In the second step, the body does the assessment of the risk (resembling the white part). Risk assessment, on its own, includes risk identification, risk analysis, and risk evaluation. Finally, (resembling the yellow part), treatment of the risk(s) is begun which includes, prevention and mitigation, and preparedness before the disaster and, response and recovery after the disaster occurrence. Obviously, without an intact shell, the whole egg (albumen and yolk) will decay and all resources will be lost. Also without assessment of the risks, proper and effective management of the disaster is almost impossible. The third step of the risk management, the risk treatment, is in fact the disaster management. This simple model shows the relationship between risk management and risk treatment. Although this model may have oversimplified the process of Risk Management, it helps to create a unique overview and understanding for almost everyone.

“…Disaster management examines disasters and all aspects related to disasters, especially disaster risk and how to avoid disaster risk. Runkle et al (2018), Poorheidari et al (2020) further stated the importance of disaster management to: 1) prepare for all disasters or unwanted events, 2) reduce losses and victims due to the impact of a disaster, 3) increase awareness of all parties in society about disasters to involved in the process of disaster management, and 4) protected community members from hazards or the impact of disasters.
