“…These statements mirror that the quality of response during a disaster is influenced not only by the completeness of equipment but also by the skills of the responders. The limitation of resources emerges as a significant challenge during disaster response, as highlighted by various authors (Baur & Rieck, 2020; Ghaffari et al, 2020; Mondal et al, 2019). The findings are likewise congruent with those of Agub (2017), who noted a common issue in the Philippines' disaster management: the lack of capacity among line agencies and LGUs to undertake DRRM activities.…”

Disasters are unforeseen, catastrophic events that have the potential to significantly harm populations, ecosystems, and economies. Disasters can occur quickly or gradually, and the scope of their effects may range from local to regional to even global. The Department of Public Works and Highways' (DPWH) efforts in building and maintaining resilient road networks are vital for ensuring access to affected areas during disasters. This facilitates the timely arrival of emergency responders, the delivery of relief supplies, and the evacuation of affected populations. This study then seeks to examine the experiences of the DPWH-BSDEO (Benguet Second District Engineering Office) personnel in their commitment to fostering disaster resilience while navigating challenges. This study utilized a qualitative research design. Data were collected from various sources, including DPWH-BSDEO employees, Municipal of Buguias personnel, Philippine National Police-Buguias, Bureau of Fire Protection-Buguias, as well as official office reports. The responses of the participants established that the challenges faced by DPWH-BSDEO personnel encompass insufficient funding, limited resources, inadequate training among disaster volunteers, vulnerability of responders to disasters, limited community cooperation, suboptimal communication, and an ineffective drainage system. Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that it is imperative to enhance the DRRM functions within the office and significantly bolster its capabilities.

“…Meanwhile, in terms of emergency supplies mechanisms, Tamal et al [35] designed a distribution model for scarce resources, such as food, water, clothing, medical equipment, and rescue workers, for post-disaster relief, and achieved effective coordination for resource allocation. Oluwasegun et al [36] proposed a multi-phase stochastic planning model for the timely distribution of relief supplies.…”

Production Capacity Reserve Strategy of Emergency Medical Supplies: Incentive Model for Nonprofit Organizations

In 2020, COVID-19 swept across the globe. To reduce the social harms caused by this public health event, nonprofit organizations (NPOs) cooperated with medical enterprises to produce reserves of emergency medical supplies. In practice, this cooperation was challenged by the different goals of NPOs and medical enterprises and the asymmetry of information between these parties. Enterprises are prone to irregularities or speculative behaviors that can result in insufficient production capacity during public health events, which increase disaster risks. Based on the principal–agent relationship of NPOs and enterprises, this study analyzed a game model between NPOs and enterprises under information asymmetry; constructed an incentive model for reserve emergency medical supply production capacity; and solved the optimal reward and punishment coefficients of NPOs, optimal effort level of enterprises, and benefits of disaster reduction. The study also verified the validity of the model using numerical examples and a sensitivity analysis. In taking up the findings of the study, this paper discusses the effects of several important exogenous variables on the optimal decision strategies of NPOs and enterprises and offers management-related insights for NPOs.

“…Generally, they illustrated the levels of suitability for emergency response after an earthquake via a zoning map and did not concentrate on the optimized identification of particular locations (such as those prone to disaster response disruption). Artificial intelligence [ 43 ] and evolutionary algorithms have mainly been used for optimizing procedures [ [44] , [45] , [46] , [47] , [48] , [49] , [50] ].…”
