“…It is well known that earthquakes as well as tsunami, volcanic eruptions, and hurricanes are the cause of death of many people, for details please see statistics in the CRED International Disaster Database [54], CRED Report 2021 [55], and corresponded studies [56] [57] [58].…”

The planetary geometries were studied at the moments of 92 strong earthquakes with a magnitude of more than 8 on the Richter scale (R8+) for the period from 1900 to 2011. Three main planetary schemes were specified, namely the schemes of the generalized Archimedes lever (gAL) and the Kepler conjunction (gKc), as well as a new geometry of the triangles of the remote signal catcher (cRS). It was discovered 22 gAL, 42 gKc and 28 cRS geometries, which are 23.9%, 45.7%, and 30.4%, respectively, from the total 92 studying cases. It was found that in some earthquakes; the planetary geometries are absolutely identical, which indicates the universality of the mechanism that caused the earthquake. The triggered effect does not depend on the distance between the planets and the mass of the planets, so the mechanism is identified as an inertial gravitational interaction. The triggered effect increases with the multiplicity of the ratio of distances between planets, as well as with pairwise planetary parallelism, which probably indicates about the wave nature of inertial effects. The triggering effect increases with increasing multiplicity of the ratio of distances between planets, as well as with pairwise planetary parallelism, which probably indicates about the wave nature of inertial effects. According to the Archimedes' lever principle, the Third Law of Motion is changed by adding a few words. It is assumed that inertia is a special case of gravity, namely gravitational self-induction, which really depends, like any self-induction, only on the geometry of the task.

“…While some originate in violent or unexpected phenomena such as earthquakes, others such as droughts are slow to develop or evolve but still negatively affect societies and economies and, depending on their intensity and duration, may eventually affect food supplies or essential services [5].…”

Natural disasters usually involve a phenomenon with consequences that exceed the response capabilities of local communities and have a significant impact on the region's socioeconomic development. Droughts, floods, and hurricanes are all natural disasters that jeopardize the environment and the lives of Somalis. Severe floods have devastated the south and central parts of the country multiple times, destroying infrastructure and homes and killing many vulnerable people. Droughts in the south and central parts of the country, particularly in the Middle Shebelle region, have killed a number of children and mothers. It also had a negative influence on crops and cattle. Objective of this study is to know the recurrence of Natural Disasters in Jowhar, Middle Shabelle region, Somalia: The Causes and Impacts. The Somali people are completely aware of natural disasters such as droughts and floods, and they are self-sufficient in dealing with the consequences of these disasters. Furthermore, the Somali government has not fully created environmental laws to protect and conserve the environment, and the majority of laws, rules, acts, and regulations are not used or administered effectively. We also found that the Somali government is not yet financially prepared to deal with these crises, and that there are no strategic plans in the central government or even state administrations to prevent or at least control these disasters from causing extreme harm to the community and the environment.

“…The impact of disasters can be in the form of environmental damage and mass deaths. The magnitude of the impact caused by the disaster makes it important for the attention of the entire community to be prepared for disasters (Chaudhary & Piracha, 2021).…”

Background: Indonesia has the potential for natural disasters, such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, floods, landslides, tsunamis and others. The impact of displacement for children under-five is the risk of infectious diseases, nutritional deficits, growth and psychosocial disorders. Food aid for adult refugees is relatively less problematic than for children because adults can consume various types of food. Otherwise, children under-five have been unable to consume all various foods provided at the shelter. If this problem is not addressed, children will suffer from malnutrition and may become malnourished further. This study focuses on nutrition management after-disaster for children under-five. Methods: The type of study was cross-sectional. This research was carried out by systematic review study, which was a literature study that published about Indonesia databases using Science Direct and Proquest. The inclusion criteria were studies that focused on food and nutrition management for children in the shelter. Results: The study shows that the nutrition management for children under-five in the shelter has not been addressed optimally, so it is urgent to specifically and integrated nutrition management. Nutrition programs in the shelter include nutrition services, nutrition counseling, nutritionist, and food supply. Conclusion: The role of nutritionists during emergency disasters can contribute to optimal nutrition services in shelter. They can help by arranging menus and attention to nutrition and food hygiene to be provided to children. SOP’s for addressing nutrition health are required, as well allocation funds to provide nutritious food for children under-five.
