The number of foreign residents and tourists in Japan has been dramatically increasing in recent years. Despite the fact that Japan is prone to natural disasters, with each climate-related event turning into an emergency such as with record rainfalls, floods and mudslides almost every year, non-Japanese communication infrastructure and everyday disaster drills for foreigners have received little attention. This study aims to understand how a resilient communication ecosystem forms in various disaster contexts involving foreigners. Within a framework of information ecology we try to get an overview of the communication ecosystem in literature and outline its structure and trends in social media use. Our empirical case study uses Twitter API and R programming software to extract and analyze tweets in English during Typhoon 19 (Hagibis) in October 2019. It reveals that many information sources transmit warnings and evacuation orders through social media but do not convey a sense of locality and precise instructions on how to act. For future disaster preparedness, we argue that the municipal government, as a responsible agent, should (1) make available instructional information in foreign languages on social media, (2) transfer such information through collaboration with transmitters, and (3) examine the use of local hashtags in social media to strengthen non-Japanese speaker's capacity to adapt.

“…Como tendência nas pesquisas, os artigos de Evers et al (2012), Dorasamy et al (2013), Pulwarty et al (2014), Souza et al (2015), Chen et al (2018) e Saeed et al (2018), apontaram modelos e sistemas de informações, uso de robótica, inclusive na nuvem para a gestão de riscos de desastres. Blake et al (2019) trataram em seu artigo sobre sistemas e destaca que os sistemas e processos padronizados de GC são cruciais para o sucesso das atividades. Os autores também explicitam a relevância da comunicação e da colaboração intersetorial na promoção de melhorias na resiliência.…”

Este artigo apresenta como pergunta de partida identificar “como as pesquisas acadêmicastêm trabalhado a gestão do conhecimento na gestão de riscos de desastres após a criação daLei n. 12.608 em 2012”. O objetivo geral da pesquisa “analisar as característicasbibliométricas após 2012 sobre gestão do conhecimento na redução de riscos e desastres, paraidentificar as inovações que os autores estão criando, assim como as temáticas das publicaçõesindexadas em base de dados internacionais”. A partir de uma revisão sistemática integrativasalienta-se, que, em caso de desastres, no âmbito das organizações públicas, deve-se terpessoas capacitadas em vários espaços, preparadas para atuar, cada uma dentro das suascompetências, coordenadas com ações integradas.

“…Therefore, the development and implementation of adequate policies, regulatory frameworks and recovery strategies are required to increase transport robustness and resilience ( Cox et al, 2011 ; Miller-Hooks et al, 2012 ). Past events, such as major volcanic eruptions ( Wieland and Wallenburg, 2012 ), earthquakes ( Blake et al, 2019 ), or floods ( Arrighi et al, 2019 ) have demonstrated the vulnerability of transport networks to external impacts, pointing to the necessity of having appropriate measures at hand. Since December 2019, the world population is once again facing a disruption of unexpected magnitude caused by a newly discovered coronavirus SARS-CoV2.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly altered common social and economic patterns as governments all over the world have been forced to take drastic measures to counter the spread of the disease. Among them, quarantine, the closure of borders, and social distancing are the ones that have affected transportation systems most severely. With the clear need to avoid all unnecessary direct human contact, an increased interest in contactless transportation and delivery modes emerged. Drones are a promising alternative in this regard, especially for the delivery of essential goods, such as COVID-19 viral tests. In this study, we therefore investigate how drones can be used to distribute viral tests to potentially infected patients. The novel approach that we propose is to use existing drone infrastructure to perform this task, where drones owned and operated by different public and private entities are retrofitted for the distribution of essential goods in the case of emergency. In a wider sense, we hence suggest the establishment of a drone enabled back-up transport system. Potential performance gains are analyzed through a mathematical time and cost model that was developed in close cooperation with the state Red Cross Organization and a utility drone manufacturer. Process design as well as parameter estimation are based on empirical investigation including, but not limited to, accompanying a COVID-19 mobile testing team in the field. The practical feasibility was verified by retrofitting drones initially assigned to other purposes. Additionally, policy recommendations, such as the establishment of public-public and public-private partnerships, were identified.
