Post-seismic allocation of medical staff in the Longmen Shan fault area: case study of the Lushan Earthquake

Prevalence and risk factors of depression in the empty nest elderly from the Sichuan Longmenshan fault earthquake

“…From 2000 to 2016 in China, seismic disasters have resulted in 92,000 deaths and direct economic losses of 103 billion dollars (The International Disasters Database, 2016). Earthquakes also result in secondary disasters, such as landslides, debris flows and barrier lakes, which can deeply affect the normal lives of survivors . These environmental changes can also cause environmentally‐induced migration such as the internal migration of survivors after the 2009 L'Aquila Earthquake …”

“…The Longmenshan fault is located between the Sichuan Basin and the Bayan Hara block of Northern Tibet . As one of the China's most active seismic zones, the Longmenshan fault has had 16 earthquakes higher than M 6.0 in the past three centuries, with one of the largest being the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake . The 2008 Sichuan Earthquake (M 8.0) caused 69,227 deaths, 374,176 injuries, and 18,222 missing .…”

“…The 2008 Sichuan Earthquake (M 8.0) caused 69,227 deaths, 374,176 injuries, and 18,222 missing . Government and non‐government organizations (NGOs) gave significant support to assist the quake‐hit areas in the Longmenshan fault area post‐disaster recovery and reconstruction . Regardless of the assistance, the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake elderly survivors have been found to have serious psychological problems …”

“…Because of the geological and geographical characteristics of the Longmenshan fault, secondary disasters frequently occur, meaning that post‐seismic reconstruction is difficult work and takes a lot of time; however, generally, society and survivors find some stability after 5 years . In this study, empty‐nesters who had been affected by the Longmenshan fault earthquakes were examined.…”

“…It is also designed to be a practical tool that policy makers can use to help them solve the pressing problems that they confront in their organizations [14]. The kernel of SD modeling is to construct multiple feedback loops for characterizing the interactive behaviors of complex systems, especially providing new insights into organizational risk issues such as aerospace, transportation, the chemical industry, and environmental engineering [15][16][17][18][19]. Understanding the nature and stability of such dynamics to enhance the systems thinking is often the purpose of a SD model.…”
