Introduction:Rapid innovations and improvements in communication technologies have opened many new channels for health education and delivery, as well as disaster management. Theme 2 examined the role and applicability of these technologies to Disaster Medicine and Management and the various issues involved in their use.Methods:Details of the methods used are provided in the introductory paper. The chairs moderated all presentations and produced a summary that was presented to an assembly of all of the delegates. The chairs then presided over a workshop that resulted in the generation of a set Action Plans that then were reported to the collective group of all delegates.Results:Main points developed during the presentations and discussion included harnessing convergence, seeking interoperability, building partnerships and making it appropriate. This group identified four Principles of Action underlying its plan: (1) investigate possibilities, (2) identify stake-holders, (3) invite participation, and (4) involve discussants in activities.Discussion:Action plans were categorized into three areas that included “thinking globally, acting regionally”, forming a telehealth advisory group, and increasing corporate partnerships.Conclusions:Technology is opening many opportunities that have applications in disaster management. To optimize benefits, goals and standards must be agreed upon and implemented.

Tujuan dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pengaruh variabel bebas terhadap variabel terikat yaitu Pengaruh Beban Kerja dan Kejenuhan Kerja (Burnout) Terhadap Motivasi Kerja Guru di Yayasan Pendidikan Cendana. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survey dengan menggunakan angket sebagai alat pengumpul data. Jenis penelitian kuantitatif dengan populasi sebanyak 59 orang. Pengambilan sampel dilakukkan dengan cara proporsional random sampling, sehingga diperoleh sampel sebanyak 52 orang. Teknik analisa data yang dilakukan dalam dua tahap yakni secara deskriptif dan inferensial. Kemudian data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan analisis regresi, koefisien regresi dan koefisien determinasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat pengaruh yang positif antara beban kerja terhadap motivasi kerja guru sebesar 30,4%. Terdapat pengaruh yang negatif antara kejenuhan kerja terhadap motivasi kerja guru sebesar 22,2%, serta terdapat pengaruh secara bersama-sama antara variabel beban kerja dan kejenuhan kerja terhadap motivasi kerja sebesar 45,7%. Dengan demikian, pengaruh variabel beban kerja dan kejenuhan kerja terhadap motivasi kerja tersebut berada pada tafsiran sedang.

By using Geographic Information System (GIS), people easily can get the map information from a computer. Some advantages of GIS technique also are useful for Disaster Management. As an example, if a disaster happened in a certain area, by producing a buffer from that area, it is possible to estimate the surroundings of the population that has been affected. Regarding the logistics for the disaster, the shortest distance by road between warehouse and the victims can be calculated, avoiding a dangerous area. But, there also are some disadvantages with the use of GIS: 1) it is expensive to buy the software; 2) there is no standardization of both the programs and data; and 3) there are operational difficulties with the software. The ideal system should facilitate to access the database, analyze and calculate information with certain GIS functions from anywhere via Internet. The Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC) has been developing such a system, which we call "VEN-TEN". This system is the platform for any data that are available and also includes some functions of GIS, such as overlaying, buffering, and networking. At present, VEN-TEN contains the databases for 22 Asian Countries, including Russia, which are members of the ADRC. In the future, we would like to develop it world wide, and ultimately, it will be not be used only for disaster management, but in many fields.
