“…Therefore, the future of this system may be improved by utilizing this system for image transfer such as image of onsite disaster overview, injuries, and crucial data [55]. Hence, there is a need to conduct robust multidisciplinary studies on effective communication system for disaster that include experts in emergency medicine, public health, information communication technology, engineering and last but not least the policy makers [56].…”

The purpose of this review is to provide the overview of available systems and potential future systems for communication during disaster in Malaysia. Electronic searches in major subject loci databases such as MEDLINE (via PUBMED), Ovid, Science Direct, Scopus, IEEE Xplore digital library and Springer are used in conducting the reviews. The major challenge is to integrate between readily available communications systems at pre-disaster, during disaster and post-disaster. Therefore, this review will further provide information for the policy makers, responsible personnel as well as researchers on the vulnerability of the communication systems during disaster and the future direction of effective communication system in Malaysia.

“…In Malaysia, disparities among government levels hinder the effective implementation of disaster and climate change mechanisms (Khairilmizal et al, 2016;Zen et al, 2019). Historically, top-down disaster management limits community involvement and preparedness, exacerbated by poor inter-agency collaboration and a lack of climate policy integration (Shariff & Hamidi, 2019;Palermo & Hernandez, 2020;Sandaran & Selvaraj, 2021;CAN & CGM, 2022).…”

Global climate change has led to a surge in climate-related disasters. Effectively managing these crises requires adopting disaster risk reduction strategies that account for climate change's profound impact. This article explores gaps in Malaysia's disaster risk reduction governance and climate change adaptation through literature review and preliminary interview. It highlights critical shortcomings which are outdated policies, challenges in multiple disciplinary collaboration and data sharing, and a lack of a robust strategic plan. While these findings are not exhaustive, they open the opportunity and emphasize the pressing need for further research. Future studies should focus on uncovering networks among actors, policies, and practices in Malaysia to develop a governance framework for a safer and more sustainable future amid evolving climate challenges. This requires thorough examination of the overlaps and distinctions in both fields, paving the way for a governance strategy aligned with the Paris Agreement, Sustainable Development Goals, and Sendai Framework.

“…Inconsistencies exist in either the national, state, or local levels of government that prevents the national disaster mechanism NSC Directive No. 20 from being fully implemented [60] . Within a comparable context, climate change has typically moved to the top of the national agenda but has yet to permeate the state and local levels [61] .…”

As a result of changes in climate factors, the number of natural hazards has become more frequent. To achieve optimal governance of disaster risk, it is essential to consider climate change and modify the strategy so that it aligns with the agenda for reducing disaster risk. This paper’s findings are the result of a qualitative methodology that included a review of the literature on the topic DRR and CCA relates to both international and domestic policy in Malaysia. It discovered gaps in the convergence of DRR and CCA in terms of policy formulation, governance systems, and linkage among actors. To close the gaps, a comprehensive approach that involves multi-level governance as well as multi-sectoral initiatives through multiple disciplinary methods would be required. This necessitates a governance system that encourages the participation of actors from both domains in order to achieve greater sustainable development and climate risk management.
