“…From the 2011 Thailand floods, disaster preparedness plan was the most preferred information following by disaster warning before flood events [130]. After the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, Thai Government established the National Disaster Warning Center (NDWC) for monitoring and processing natural disaster information [131].…”

The numbers of natural disaster events are continuously affecting human and the world economics. For coping with disaster, several sectors try to develop the frameworks, systems, technologies and so on. However, there are little researches focusing on the usage behavior of Information Technology (IT) for disaster risk management (DRM). Therefore, this study investigates the affecting factors on the intention to use IT for mitigating disaster's impacts. This study conducted a systematic review with the academic researches during 2011-2018. Two important factors from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and others are used in describing individual behavior. In order to investigate the potential factors, the technology platforms are divided into nine types. According to the findings, computer software such as GIS applications are frequently used for simulation and spatial data analysis. Social media is preferred among the first choices during disaster events in order to communicate about situations and damages. Finally, we found five major potential factors which are Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), information accessibility, social influence, and disaster knowledge. Among them, the most essential one of using IT for disaster management is PU, while PEOU and information accessibility are more important in the web platforms.

“…For further research, after creating the risk profile, the interviews with the specialists in the public healthcare system, the operation staff and the senior government officers should be conducted to gain more insights both in the operation side and the management side. The preference of information during disaster is also interesting to be taken into consideration with the operation analysis [13], [14]. The result of this can support the other area.…”

The United Nations Office implemented the disaster risk profile idea for disaster risk reduction! as one of the tools in the development and country's disaster risk reduction. Due to the worldwide agreement, the Sendai Framework of Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 has one of the priority actions to understand the risk before taking further steps to plan and operate. Furthermore, the knowledge of the emergency management has the topic of the critical infrastructure that needs to be protected to make it operate as usual during the emergency to prevent the worst case. The public healthcare system is one of these critical infrastructures. This research followed this concept and focused on the disaster problem in Thailand, which its major disaster type is a flood. The data from the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, Ministry of Interior, reported that during the fiscal year of 2010-2019, 48,543 THB of government expenditure on the emergency help cost was used to ease the flood disasters. Thus, this research paid attention to the development of the disaster risk profile in the public healthcare system during the flood situation. The study area was Nakhon Sawan Municipality, Nakhon Sawan Province, Thailand, one of the significantly affected areas from the 2011 Thailand floods. The main target referred to the operation during the 2011 floods in the study area. This research applied the! BPMN 2.0 to understand the operation process and the cooperation during the flood situation. The model could explain the function and responsibility of each organization and the disaster risk profile, by focusing on the operational level during the flood situation. The outcome of this was the risk profile and the suggestion to conduct the policy in the next step.

“…Many countries around the world had to face with disaster, particularly in vulnerable areas. From the survey in Thailand, disaster preparedness plan was the most preferred information following by disaster warning before flood evets (Leelawat et al, 2018). It indicated that they still lack of preparation and disaster knowledge.…”

The 2011 Thailand floods widely affected many parts in Thailand such as households, industry and agriculture. Especially, industrial areas were�massively damaged by floods. Many factories had to stop their operations. Therefore, it severely impacted economic�losses. Area-Business Continuity Management (Area-BCM) is a useful system�supporting company mitigate flood effectively. Before the system is implemented,�opinion survey of related�people in an area is�important. Therefore, this research aims to investigate factors affecting Perceived Usefulness (PU)�of the Area-BCM. The model is proposed based on Technology Acceptance Model and flood mitigation behavior. The analysis results categorized the respondents into four groups following their experience with floods. It is found that subjective norm significantly affect to PU. In addition, flood hazards knowledge significantly positively affect to PU in experienced group. On the other hand, worry about flooding indirectly affect to PU through subjective norm. Moreover, government is found to be the most trusted source by respondents in receiving disaster information. They also mentioned warning information should be provided. Furthermore, the findings are expected to be used as a guideline for developing a prototype of the Area-BCM system.
