“…As we mentioned earlier, the development of community resilience sits at the forefront of strategies employed to deal with the increasing impact of climate change [9,19]. To conceptualize community resilience, the most usual indicator and target of interventions is the development of social capital, which rightly assumes that stronger and more cohesive community networks will be able to respond better to and cope more efficiently with the impact of disasters [10,11,51,78]. However, as some researchers have argued, the notion of social capital cannot account for the processes that mobilize existing networks [13] or for the emergence of novel, unexpected capitals [17] (or social capacity, to use a non-economic and less reductionistic term; also see Tierney & Oliver-Smith [67]).…”

Highlights  Groups can emerge due to the shared experience of common fate between residents  The dynamics of such groups' post-disaster endurance or decline are underexplored  Ongoing common fate, social support and commemorations can sustain emergent groups  Individuality, inequality and identity changes can cause groups to decline  Resilience policies should aim to support groups and reduce inequality of treatment

“…On the 26 December 2004 a "megathrust" earthquake of at least a 9.0 magnitude struck off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia and set off tsunami as tall as 100 ft in some areas. The tsunami devastated coastlines in India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia, killing close to 200,000 people across these areas, with 35,000 killed in Sri Lanka" (Aldrich, 2015). This shows the occurrence of disaster in Asia and Indonesia in particular.…”

The purpose of applying socio-ecological resilience is that there are significant changes in climate and scientist established that the planet is getting wormer on yearly basis and sea levels are rising. The climate pattern is also changing rapidly and rainfall shortage become a challenge. Human actions are responsible for changing climate through emission of greenhouse gas in atmosphere which keep depleting the ocean layers by make the planet earth wormer. Disaster is a natural phenomenon that happen with or without the expectation of human. Food system resilience is important in this discourse as disasters are an unforeseen circumstance. The concept of resilience was introduced in development to help resort the communities affected by the natural calamity. Governments formulate resilience policy as a strategy for disaster preparedness. This article used qualitative analysis in discussion. Food system resilience was used in the context of socio-ecological system which entail environmental issues and societal values in ensuring food security. Food system resilience was discussed in connection to SDGs goal number two (Zero Hunger). The weight of the discussion is centred around socio-ecological system in boasting food security.It is evident that the two countries have something in common but defer in many aspects of their development priorities and pace. They both need more improved crops or variety of cereals to ensure food security and public awareness creation on resilience policy and actions is a necessity.

“…annually. Future cases of flooding in the region will be even more monumental, both in terms of dimension and impact (Chan, 2012). A reconsideration of the current strategy is therefore essential to improve the preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery for Malaysia and its citizens in the face of a natural disaster.…”

“…Furthermore, the large number of government agencies and other organizations involved in evacuation and aid distribution contributes to this coordination issue (Shafiai, 2016). In addition to this, the approach is taken towards disaster and flood management in Malaysia as of now is still a highly reactive one and not one that is centered around proactive action (Chan, 2012;Khalid & Shafiai, 2015).…”

During the annual monsoon season, Malaysia is often affected severely by floods as a result of heavy rainfall and poor irrigation. Every year, thousands of people have to be relocated and be evacuated from their homes. Thus, this research is aimed to look at two central aspects of disaster management in the context of flood disaster management in Kuantan, Pahang. Using a mixed-method approach, first, the effectiveness of communication mechanisms in the case of floods is investigated with quantitative analysis using descriptive design. Secondly, this research takes a closer look at the underlying logistical framework found in flood disaster contexts and identifies its critical success factors. For this, a qualitative research approach is taken. Using thematic analysis, in-depth semi-structured interviews are analyzed to arrive at conclusions regarding the critical success factors. Investigating in the effectiveness of disaster communication, it has become apparent that communication between authorities, agencies, non-government organizations or NGOs and flood victims are still in need of improvement, as the suggestions made by participants of the study suggests, both in regard to emergency updates as well as to heightening community awareness on the right actions to take in preparation of upcoming floods. The critical success factors for humanitarian response in the case of flood management include coordination, communication, knowledge, and preparedness. In it crucial to safeguard communities, thus, the unambiguous and clear standard of procedures or SOPs need to be in place at the integrated agencies for them to be understood and known by the individuals who execute them.
