ARTICLE.
Facebook Enables Disaster Research Studies: The Use of Social Media to
Recruit Participants in a Post-Disaster Setting. this article showed that the
use of social media to recruit participants for disaster research could limit several of
the practical and ethical challenges connected to disaster research. However, the
method demands access to the Internet and requires several strategic
considerations, particularly concerning non-probability sample biases and
generalization as well as an active approach from the researcher.

Reducing Disaster Exacerbated Non-Communicable Diseases Through Public Health

Infrastructure Resilience: Perspectives of Australian Disaster Service Providers. this
article states that Disaster service providers can play a vital role in reducing the risk
of disaster exacerbated non-communicable diseases through public health service
infrastructure resilience. They are often employed in communities where disasters
occur and are therefore best-placed to lead implementation of the mitigation
strategies identified in this research. To sustainably implement the mitigation
strategies they will need to become integrated into effective performance and
monitoring of the disaster response and health sector during non-disaster periods.
For this to occur, the strategies should be integrated into business and strategic
plans. Achieving this will help implement the Sendia Framework for Disaster Risk
Reduction 2015-2030 and, most importantly, help protect the health of people with
non-communicable diseases before, during and after a disaster.

An information management system for the emergency management of hurricane

disasters By: Eleftherios Iakovou, Christos Douligeris Access to accurate and comprehensive
information for a wide spectrum of topics to support hurricane disaster planning and
response is of critical importance to emergency managers. This paper presents the
development of IMASH, an Information Management System for Hurricane disasters.
IMASH is an intelligent integrated dynamic information management tool, capable
of providing comprehensive data pertaining to emergency planning and response
for hurricane disasters. The architecture of IMASH along with all its modules is
presented in this paper. IMASH is based on an object-oriented database containing
geographically referenced environmental and related data. It further employs the
intelligence of a decision support system, while providing worldwide access through
the internet and the World Wide Web. The developed system can offer support for a
wide range of hurricane disaster related activities hurricane preparedness activities,
activities during or just before a hurricane strikes and post-disaster response and
restoration activities; it can further serve as a platform that could dynamically be
augmented to include new data and models.
