Abstract Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel frequently operate in high-stress environments, particularly during disaster deployments, placing them at heightened risk of psychological distress. Evidence describing...

Abstract Background Hospital-based simulations are vital for disaster preparedness. Anxiety and other emotions may affect hospital staff by influencing non-technical skills. We investigated self-reported emotional and or...

Modern disaster medicine faces a critical tension between humanitarian impulse and evidence-based necessity. And while disaster risk is the product of Hazard and Vulnerability, socio-economic factors are the primary pred...

This review addresses the urgent need for scalable, accurate, and reproducible remote sensing solutions following the February 2023 Türkiye earthquakes. It synthesizes the contributions of five peer-reviewed studi...

Floods are one of the most frequent and damaging natural hazards in Malaysia, especially in low-lying places, such as Batu Pahat and Johor. National flood monitoring systems, such as InfoBanjir and Malaysian Meteorologic...

This research aims to explore the role of community resilience in response to the refugee crisis caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 by specifically studying two core dimensions of community re...

During the golden-time phase of urban disasters, emergency response systems must issue timely directives that remain compliant with jurisdictional policies and regulations, even when early human reports precede reliable ...

Introduction Disasters often cause large numbers of injuries, including fractures, lacerations and amputations, which overwhelm emergency services. Orthotic and prosthetic solutions can provide timely primary care, reduc...

Starting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always remaining in the groove of rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. This sec...

Urban informality and climate change pose significant challenges for urban planning in rapidly growing cities in the Global South. This study conducts a qualitative content analysis of 45 spatial planning instruments add...

In the context of global climate change and rapid urbanization, floods caused by extreme rainstorms in Chinese cities have been on the rise. Consequently, urban flood risks evolve into a systematic threat to urban safety...

This paper explores the application of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in predictive modelling for seismic events and flood risks, with a particular focus on forecasting extreme quantile events that exceed historica...

Abstract Background In Hatay, Türkiye, which suffered extensive devastation from the earthquake of 2023, people were living in container cities during the recovery process. While the physical and psychological effects o...

ABSTRACT Background Emergency and public health problems are unavoidable and can strike at any time. In a globalized world where crises are getting more common, more devastating, and have a substantial influence on socie...

Drought is a common phenomenon that affects more people within the context of Africa than any other disaster. Likewise, drought is an extreme and common occurrence within the lowland areas of Chipinge district in Zimbabw...

As the nexus between aviation, fire science, and emergency management becomes increasingly more complex, technology can be used to augment training and avoid risk while maintaining authenticity with situational reality. ...

As cyberthreats to critical infrastructure remain prevalent, national response mechanisms must evolve beyond the technical domain to incorporate legal, communicative, strategic, and cross-sector coordination. This work e...

Low-resolution images often lack fine detail and are prone to blurring, noise, and distortions, making accurate assessment challenging. This issue becomes even more challenging for applications, such as land mapping, env...

This study presents an aspect-based sentiment analysis of tweets related to extreme weather events in Indonesia, utilizing the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model. The dataset was obtained through a Twitter crawling proc...

Abstract Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, are increasingly deployed for critical missions such as environmental monitoring, infrastructure inspection, and disaster response. Assessing the reliability of these ...

The mathematical methods of FFT and wavelet transform are used to deal with the acoustic emission (AE) frequency information of rock fracture firstly. Combined with the spectral distribution of AE signal, the main respon...

Flood disasters, with high suddenness, wide impact and severe consequences, severely threaten ecological security, human lives, property and socioeconomic development. Optical remote sensing, though advantageous in spati...

The complex geological environment and frequent natural disasters on the Qinghai–Tibetan plateau pose significant challenges to the reliability of the regional highway transportation network. In this paper, a severity ...

Abstract Early and reliable smoke detection is critical for preventing fire-related disasters, safeguarding human lives, and ensuring infrastructure safety. Conventional sensor-based systems, however, are often constrain...
