“…The intermediate and unacceptable readiness score for nurses demonstrated the need to increase the conditions and motivation for disaster preparedness. Additionally, Patel et al (2020) highlighted the need of educating vulnerable populations on how to deal with catastrophes and showed a substantial link between a person's place of residence and ethnicity in terms of training for disaster risk reduction. The findings of Patel et al (2020) are in accordance with this study.…”

Both natural and man-made dangers cause bodily harm, as well as social, economic and environmental harm. In order to minimise the complications of these threats, proper training and preparedness are crucial. The purpose of this study was to look at the factors that affect how well-trained healthcare volunteers are for natural hazards in Iran. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses approach, a systematic review of literature on the factors influencing the training of healthcare volunteers in natural hazard published between 2010 and 2020 was conducted. The Google Scholar search engine, PubMed (Medline and Central), Science Direct and Web of Science databases were searched using both individual and combined key phrases. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational studies in Epidemiology checklist was used to select and evaluate 592 observational and quasi-experimental articles. Finally, the study comprised 24 papers that satisfied the research criteria and made good use of good technique, sample size and adequate tools for validity and reliability. The most useful variables for disaster preparedness were job self-efficacy, strategic decision-making and quality of work-life, job performance, job motivation, knowledge, awareness and health literacy.Contribution: To avoid calamity, a thorough training program is required. Therefore, the most crucial objectives for health education specialists are to identify the factors that determine disaster preparedness, train volunteers and provide fundamental techniques to reduce natural dangers.

“…The research aims outlined at the start of this paper necessitated an extensive study to establish the context for the study as adopted by Patel et al (2020) and Ahmed and Charlesworth (2015). The research uses a comprehensive literature review (CLR) that chronicles the process of inquiry into the current status of specialized knowledge in terms of examination, organization, reflection and assessment of five major modalities; media, observation, documents, experts and secondary sources (Onwuegbuzie and Frels, 2016).…”

Purpose Rural building practices, especially in developing communities, are often plagued by inadequate local construction knowledge and a limited understanding of the best building practice guidelines. This has contributed significantly to compounding the effect of significant catastrophic events. The purpose of this paper is to examine the potential impact of disaster knowledge management (DKM) on improving housing resilience and makes particular reference to the 2005 earthquake in rural Pakistan. Design/methodology/approach Our research uses a comprehensive literature review that involves a qualitative approach to research aimed at understanding the 2005 earthquakes, their impacts, reconstruction challenges and DKM. Conventional published journals, articles, previous case studies and books were included. But importantly, to take in relevant local information, the review also took in published government reports, disaster mitigation policy documents, national and international NGOs publications, conference proceedings and news articles. More than 80 research papers and conference proceedings over 21 years, from 2001 to 2021, were analyzed in eight major online databases. These include Google Scholar, Science Direct, Research Gate, Scopus, Jstor, Springer, Emerald and Semantic Scholar. Findings The investigation identified that DKM has an important role to play in capacity building and technical knowledge transmission relating to seismic guidelines aimed at improving housing resilience. Consequently, a theoretical framework was developed, focused primarily on the post-2005 rural reconstruction mechanism and the identification of key challenges to disseminating seismic guidelines effectively in relation to rural construction practices. Originality/value This paper makes an original contribution by developing a DKM framework via the identification of key challenges that need to be addressed, in relation to rural construction practices, generally, but particularly in the Pakistan context.

“…Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) education as part of the curriculum is more critical and beneficial since it includes practicing rescue skills. Implementing these, students are more equipped with the skills and knowledge to survive (Patel et al, 2023). The result could also tie up with the Social-Cognitive Theory of Albert Bandura, which believed that humans could learn through observation without needing imitation.…”

The country experienced different kinds of natural and artificial disasters because of its location. We could not prevent such calamities, but we could lessen the impact and save ourselves and the community by being equipped with different skills and knowledge about disaster awareness and preparedness. This study aims to determine the disaster awareness and preparedness level of senior high and college students. The respondents' demographic profile significantly affected their awareness and preparedness before, during, and after the disaster. The respondents are determined by age, gender, year level, course/strand, and social class. The researcher used a purposive sampling technique to determine the accurate result in this study. There are 190 respondents from senior high and 190 from college students, with 380 respondents being accumulated. Hence, the study's result shows that the students' disaster awareness and preparedness are affected because of their demographic profile. It also shows that the disaster awareness and preparedness level of senior high and college students at the University of Mindanao is good. Government and private schools must include different seminars, training, and subjects in the curriculum in all courses and strands.
