Natural hazards are one of the destructive phenomena that pose a significant hazard to humans, property, and economy, among others. One most recurring natural is flooding, which caused by typhoons, monsoons, heavy rainfall has been main concerns Philippines in recent years. The study’s results will provide information on factors affecting flood disaster preparedness integrating Theory Planned Behavior (TPB) Protection Motivation (PMT). A total 509 individuals answered an online survey questionnaire with 52 adapted questions. Structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed risk perception (RP), media (M), personal experience (PE) had effect perceived severity (PS) vulnerability (PV), consequently affected attitude toward behavior (ATB), social norms (SN), behavioral control (PBC). It was determined ATB, SN, PBC significantly (AB), led intention follow (ITF) prevention (PP). After analyzing data, it 56.2% female respondents were said be more resilient compared males. This first study determine mitigation flood-prone areas Philippines. beneficial academicians government officials developing determining affect preparedness. Lastly, deeper understanding how AB variable may further researched improve paper.

Purpose Existing literature on how social learning stemming from flood experience influences management and adaptation to flood-risks, resilience-building is scant. In this context, the purpose of study map processes examine application in formulating coping measures strategies Bangladesh's wetland communities. Design/methodology/approach To bridge research gap, conceptually, we formulated Social Learning Disasters (SLD) Framework explain process mechanism its influence community resilience. Applying a qualitative approach, empirical investigation was carried out Fenarbak Union Sunamganj District, Bangladesh. Using participatory approach techniques, required primary data were procured. Findings The results yielded three key findings: (1) memory have often enabled communities adopt diverse adaptive response flash floods; (2) learning-based actions resulted reduced flood-risk enhanced resilience floods, especially when these supported by both local external innovations (3) aforementioned stemmed primarily first-hand which shared via various collective platforms. Research limitations/implications followed methodology procured two union level unit Therefore, generalization apply larger context should be made with caution. Also, represents cross-sectional study, thus understanding long-term trend not possible. Practical implications findings direct profound for community-level disaster-risk planning. As there are serious deficiencies documenting preserving development planning, offers conceptual framework, along evidence, transforming lessons learned into practical change. highlight importance as effort provide evidence innovative adaptations These critical societal well enhance Originality/value Limited efforts hitherto been determine actual disaster shocks takes place, lead vulnerable take up actions. Our attempts fill knowledge gaps providing an evidence-based account responses disasters.

While scholars have been elaborating on the nature and scope of resilience for some time, contemporary era monumental disruptions elevated this topic to top scholarly practical attention. Yet, there is much confusion ambiguity about how it should be defined measured. In addition, definitions appear vary greatly across disciplines. Given these shortcomings, study first presents a framing definition using categorization attributes under process, structure strategic move/action, emanating from cross-disciplinary foundation. Second, offers conjectures propositions multinational enterprises (MNEs) move/action drawing ideas social, mechanical, ecological literature regarding construct. Third, we present new frame-based methodological approach in presenting subordinate concepts resilience.

In 2021, heavy precipitation events in Germany have confirmed once again that pluvial flooding can cause catastrophic damage large, medium, and small cities. However, despite several hazard-oriented strategies already place, to date there is still a lack of integrated approaches actually preventing negative consequences induced by rainfall events. Furthermore, municipalities across the world are learning from recent episodes general need explore new techniques guidelines could help reduce vulnerability, enhance resilience, adaptive capacity, sustainability urban environments, considering predicted future challenges associated with climate variability. To address this gap, paper presents outcomes research project “Heavy Rainfall Checklist for Sewer Operation” which was conducted IKT Institute Underground Infrastructure, involve all stakeholders affected within cities, implement series documents be adopted support organizations their operational staff problems caused incidents.

To effectively cope with the impacts of climate change and increase urban resilience, households neighborhoods must adapt in ways that reduce vulnerability to climate-related natural hazards. Communities United States elsewhere are exposed more frequent extreme heat, wildfires, cyclones, precipitation, flooding events. Whether how people respond increased hazard exposure (adaptive behavior) is widely recognized be driven by their capacity adapt, perception risk, past experiences. Underlying these important dimensions, however, social context. In this paper, we examine capital shape risk household flood mitigation actions. The study, based on a metropolitan-wide survey Austin, Texas, USA, suggests bonding (personal networks, neighborhood cohesion, trust) positively related behavior negatively perception. Importantly, our research demonstrates positive significant effect adaptive even when controlling for neighborhood. This policies programs strengthen connectedness within can behaviors thus improving community resilience
