Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Disasters are complex environmental, social and cultural events and processes yet disaster management approaches tend to simplify responses and homogenise affected populations. Participatory research with more than 550 children across Europe, detailed in this book argues for a radical transformation in children’s roles in disasters. It shows how more child-centred working in civil protection and emergency planning, that recognises children’s capacities in building resilience, benefits at-risk communities as a whole.

The World

This chapter details how, in the months leading up to the formal launch of Disaster Action, members were invited to contribute to numerous conferences, seminars, training events, and exercises. They found themselves sharing platforms with lawyers, civil servants, business leaders, and police officers. At those early events there was much emphasis on disaster management, corporate responsibility, and the litigation that inevitably follows in the wake of disaster, involvement in which had added so much to the distress of those on the receiving end. Although every speaker for Disaster Action uses their own experience as the basis for a presentation, key universal messages remain the same, including the point that good lines of communication with relatives and survivors are essential. As the world of emergency planning and management began to reflect on the needs of people, awareness grew of the important role and positive contribution Disaster Action could make in humanising policies and procedures. The chapter then looks at how Disaster Action produced a series of leaflets for survivors and bereaved people; developed information and advice for policy makers and practitioners; and provided telephone support.

Industrial Environment

Industrial establishments always involve risk to the environment and people living there. Statistical analysis of the major-accidents occurred in the last few decades indicate that the reason for the industrial accidents is either ‘human errors’ or failure of the machines.So, there is need to analyse the consequences of potential accidents for the purpose of emergency planning and disaster management. This proposed vehicle is equipped with various gas sensors(specificto the industry) which is capable of detecting gases and alerts the admin using GSM module and it also stores real time status of the environmentin cloud through the use of IoT module andthe updates are notified to the admin.

The Impact

Every year, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is exposed to different natural hazards. However, flash floods have been the most common hazard during the previous few decades. Between 2000 and 2020, over 1,000 people lost their lives from flash floods, resulting in an economic loss amounting to billions of US dollars. By focusing on flash floods, a systematic review of the extracted data was conducted. They were analyzed based on the suitability of their content and data for emergency planning requirements and disaster management challenges in the KSA. A total of 104 articles, papers, and plans were reviewed, of which only 18 complete papers met the inclusion criteria, including one plan and the General Directorate of Civil Defense (GDCD) website. The author has concluded that: 1) the essential requirements for emergency planning in the KSA include: conducting studies that show potential natural hazards, their locations, and their implications, and taking appropriate measures that reduce the possible causes of natural hazards; 2) The challenges facing the disaster management in the KSA are: lack of policies; the ambiguity of legislation and plans; poor coordination between stakeholders; lack of databases. This is the first investigation into emergency planning requirements and challenges of disaster management in the KSA. Furthermore, a scientific consensus predicts an increase in the frequency and magnitude of flash floods in the KSA. Therefore, the gaps need to be addressed in order to reduce the impact on inhabitants and infrastructure.
