El primer caso es el terremoto-tsunami del 27 de febrero de 2010 en el centro sur de Chile, mientras que el segundo corresponde a la catástrofe de la región serrana de Río de Janeiro, Brasil, después de l…
This study investigates land-use decision-making practices in Christchurch, New Zealand and the surrounding region in response to the mass movement (e.g., rockfall, cliff collapses) and ground surface fault rupture hazards incurred during the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence (CES). Rockfall fatality risk models combining hazard, exposure and vul…
While disasters occur relatively frequently almost none are of a scale as serious or complex as the triple disaster that devastated coastal regions of Tohoku, Japan. How can a region recover from a disaster as horrific as that triggered by the earthquake, tsunami and radioactive contamination linked to the explosions and reactor meltdowns at the Fukushi…
This case study has been developed to capture Japan’s experience in road geohazard risk management and offers a way forward for low- and middle-income countries. It includes a discussion of the:
Significant issues Japan overcame, such as the initially narrow scope of road management authorities and expansion of the mandate and planning for geoha…
In this article, the researchers present the case study of the 2017 Mexican earthquakes and the post-disaster activities developed by an emergent group of social actors - reading mediators. They argue for the critical role of mediators and their use of children's literature and arts-based practices as essential instruments for community reconstruction.…
This study evaluates the impact of “group subsidies,” a policy intervention to repair and reinstall damaged capital goods and facilities of small and medium-sized enterprises after the Great East Japan earthquake.
A positive effect of the subsidies on small recipient firms’ postdisaster sales and employment was found in the study. There was also a posi…
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (SFDRR) represents an inclusive approach to disaster risk reduction, linked to development and recovery. Building on previous international guidelines, the SFDRR promotes practical and measurable outcomes for reducing disaster losses, including indicators to measure progress towards seven specif…
This study presents a city-scale, data-driven model of multi-infrastructure recovery in a suburban municipality. The approach uses the Graph Model for Operational Resilience, a data-driven discrete event simulator that can model the spatial and functional cascade of hazard effects and the pattern of restoration over time. A novel case study model of the…
Albania, located on the Balkan Peninsula in South and Southeast Europe, has a population of 2.9 million people. With a total area of 28,748 square kilometres, the country is divided into 12 administrative regions which are further divided into 61 municipalities. The country’s economy has grown remarkably in the past three decades, moving Albania into a…
The April/May 2015 Nepal earthquakes and aftershocks had catastrophic impacts on rural households living in biophysical extremes. Recoveries from natural hazards that become disasters have tangible and intangible short- and long-term dynamics, which require linked quantitative and qualitative methods to understand. With these premises in mind, we random…
The Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami catastrophically struck the eastern part of Japan on March 11, 2011. Fire and Disaster Management Agency reported that the number of deaths was 19,667 and the number of missing persons was 2566 as of September 7, 2018. Also, 121,783 buildings were heavily damaged and 280,965 buildings were moderately dama…
To achieve post-disaster recovery of rural households in developing countries, it is necessary to understand the recovery conditions and the factors that play significant roles in the decision-making process. The aim of this paper is (1) to explain the transition of the residential status (i.e., type of places or houses in which affected househo…
Natural disaster recovery is multidimensional and takes time depending on vulnerabilities. Change occurs as households embedded within integrated social and environmental systems adapt or transform.This study focuses on the April/May 2015 Nepal earthquakes to understand rural natural disaster recovery. Household surveys were conducted on critical e…
A dos años del 19s, ante el cambio de administración en la ciudad y los cambios en la política pública frente a la reconstrucción (aún pendiente), presentamos la actualización del Manual para para la reconstrucción con dignidad.
En esta ocasión, iremos dando a conocer distintos fascículos que ofrecen información específica y que se complementan entre s…
