1. 1. The Development of A Simple Engineering Calculation Method for Wildfire Scenarios

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Författare :Muthia Khairunisa Jaelani; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Wildfire; evacuation; WUI fire; evacuation modelling; traffic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : Emergency planning is required to respond to the increasing wildfire threat. A part of this is to assess a community’s capacity to move to a safe place during wildfires. This can be achieved by calculating the time it takes for a community to evacuate from an at-risk area to a relatively safe place. LÄS MER

3. 2. Testing the wildland urban interface fire evacuation tool WUI-NITY: A case study of a rural community

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Författare :Afroza Mallick; [2021]
   Nyckelord :WUI-NITY; fire evacuation tool; evacuation; wildland-urban interface.; Technology and Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis makes use of a freely available platform based on multi-physics simulations, named WUI-NITY, to model WUI fire evacuation. This simulation platform includes three sub-models addressing fire spread, pedestrian movement and traffic movement allowing the representation of their interaction to produce outputs useful for dynamic vulnerability assessment.

4. 3. The effectiveness of youth participation in post-disaster responses: The case of the 2015 Nepal earthquake

   Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Teologiska institutionen

   Författare :Hana Nakata; [2020]
   Nyckelord :Youth participation; local participation; post-disaster response; 2015 Nepal earthquake;

   Sammanfattning : Focusing on the rising attention towards including the local population in humanitarian action, this study demonstrates how youth participation can produce effective results in a humanitarian response, making use of the post-disaster response to the 2015 Nepal earthquake as a case study. The research was intended to investigate the specific factors that enable youth participation to produce effective results in humanitarian programming, examining the methods that organisations used to involve youth, the benefits and challenges that arose from the process, and how effectiveness could be measured for the purpose of qualitative analysis.

5. 4. Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment : Analysis of a Risk Assessment Process in Emergency Preparedness

   Magister-uppsats, Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för datavetenskap och samhällsbyggnad

   Författare :Katarina Garpenfeldt; [2019]
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : A challenging yet crucial component of emergency planning is to identify relevant hazards and assess their risk level. Within the Province of Ontario, Canada, governmental emergency management stakeholders are required to use the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) process, developed by the Province, to meet legislative compliance.

7. 5. Inclusion of Evidence-Based Approach to Humanitarian Needs Assessment in Flash Appeals

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Författare :Esa Kukkonen; [2018]
   Nyckelord :Evidence; evidence base; evidence-based approach; Flash Appeal; funding humanitarian crises; humanitarian needs assessment; sudden-onset emergencies; General Works;

   Sammanfattning : According to the humanitarian principle of impartiality, decisions on what to fund in humanitarian crises should be based on a clear identification and prioritization of need. However, both the donors and responders have been reported to not act solely based on the needs. LÄS MER
