“…This distinction may further explain the variation in perspectives in the utility of this approach. For instance, one of the criticisms posed by Bodas et al (2020) is that the injuries sustained during an earthquake differ substantially from the kinds of injuries people sustain in terrorist attacks. However, knowing what kinds of activities the All-Hazards approach is meant for (and our analysis focused on), points to the population that this approach is meant to be used by: emergency managers and those filling emergency management functions in organizations.…”

“…As a long-held principle, however, the All-Hazards approach periodically draws critics, who assert either its obsolescence or the advantage to be gained from separate planning for specific hazards. For example, in a recent essay, Bodas et al (2020) questioned whether hazards with very different initiating agents bore sufficient similarity that they could be planned for according to uniform and broadly applied principles. Bodas et al (2020, 1) cite "the artificial consolidation of dramatically different hazard scenarios."…”

Disasters are among the crises that can test the decision making skill of elected and appointed public officials from planning through response and recovery. The COVID-19 crisis, a public health emergency rather than one with immediate damage to the built environment, has affected many aspects of community life. Experiences in responding to the pandemic will likely stimulate fresh planning initiatives for public health emergencies. How then should emergency planners approach planning and response tasks? The All-Hazards approach has been a mainstay of both research and policymaking for over 40 years, but it has come under recent criticism. In this paper, we consider if the All-Hazards approach to disaster management is still viable. Comparing the management needs that emerged in the pandemic with those of disasters from more familiar hazard agents, we conclude that the All-Hazards approach is valid and can continue to guide policymakers in their hazard and disaster management activities.

“…Various methods of MCA have been applied in agricultural sector like AHP, TOPSIS, Fuzzy and combination of those methods can also be seen in multiple research articles [35]. The application of MCA in the water management sector is enormously found in the literatures where MCA (n=16) [4,5,12,18,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] Fuzzy DMT, MCA(n=1) [41] AHP, MCA…”

Climate change adaptation (CCA) is an emerging topic in recent years since global temperature is continuing to rise and posing threats to natural biodiversity and human life. Its diverse nature requires efforts from a broad range of sectors to cope or adjust. This review paper aims to systematically study the cross-sectoral approaches in CCA decision making and develop probable strengths and shortcomings of those approaches. Literatures concerned with Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Method, or Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) are reviewed since it is considered as a holistic approach to integrate multiple sectors and combine monetary and non-monetary terms prevailing in sectoral and regional aspects, mainly in agriculture and water resource management. The literatures were searched through Scopus and PRISMA method was adopted to systematically refine the published articles based on our criteria. Out of 383 articles discovered, 139 were related to CCA out of which, 33 articles which applied MCA as their methodological approach were shortlisted for the core study. The result showed that MCA is extensively used in CCA decision making, prioritizing options, and formulating adaptation strategies at local and regional scale and considered as a flexible, transparent, and effective method because of an active engagement of stakeholders and experts’ judgement. But its inability to address the underlying uncertainties of climate change scenario is one of the major drawbacks seen. Thus, many literatures suggest incorporating Sensitivity analysis, Dynamic Adaptive Pathways, Real Option Analysis, or Robust Decision-Making Analysis with MCA to overcome those deep uncertainties.

In the context of global changes, nature-based solutions (NBSs) increasingly draw attention as a possible way to reduce disaster risk associated with extreme hydro-meteorological events while providing human well-being and biodiversity benefits at the same time. The PHUSICOS platform is dedicated to gather and analyse relevant NBSs used to reduce disaster risk associated with extreme hydro-meteorological events in mountainous and hilly lands. To design the platform, an in-depth review of 11 existing platforms has been performed. The PHUSICOS platform currently references 152 literature NBS cases and is continuously enriched through the contribution of NBS community. The platform also proposes a qualitative assessment of the NBSs collected according to 15 criteria related with five ambits: “disaster risk reduction”, “technical and economical feasibility”, “environment”, “society”, and “local economy”. This paper presents the structure of the platform and a first analysis of its content.
