de Vet, E., Eriksen, C., & McKinnon, S. (2021). Dilemmas, decision‐making, and disasters: Emotions of parenting, safety, and rebuilding in bushfire recovery. Area, 53(2), 283–291.

This study focused on parents' emotion work and emotions surrounding home. Emotional work showed to have drained parents, as did threats to, and the loss of, "home" created through "dwelling." When homes burnt, so too did memories of children embodied in that home. This sense of loss intensified when informing children about losses. These emotions impacted parents' mental and physical wellbeing.While there is considerable literature outlining parents' role in lessening disaster impacts on children, few studies examine parents' capacity to do so. In addressing this gap, this study highlights avenues to improve psychosocial aspects of disaster recovery. 

Reports from San Jose State University Add New Data to Findings in Disaster Risk Reduction (Preparing for Wildfire Evacuation and Alternatives: Exploring Influences On Residents’ Intended Evacuation Behaviors and Mitigations). (2021, June 28). Bioterrorism Week,53.

This study explores evacuation intentions among wildland-urban interface residents in Pend Oreille County, Washington, USA. The funders within the three search had explored how mitigation performance (e.g., fuel reduction efforts, structure improvements, active firefighting preparation) differs across three emergent categories of evacuation intentions and evaluate whether a range of factors correlate with participants' evacuation intentions. The funder’s results suggest that a relatively high proportion of residents in the study area intend to stay and defend their property from a wildfire, with smaller proportions intending to evacuate or shelter in place. Individuals who intend to stay and defend are more likely to implement fuel reduction and property mitigation strategies when compared to those intending to evacuate or shelter in place. 

Preparing Your Home to Avoid Disaster. (2022). USA Today Magazine, 150(2925), 2–3.

This article explained that there are more than 400 active wildfires burning in the United States according to the fire, weather and avalanche center. Therefore safe home.org has developed a emergency plan in which will help the homeowner preparing to avoid a wildfire disaster as much as possible. Within this article explained the importance of keeping tree limbs trimmed at least 10 feet above the ground to prevent ladder fuels. It’s also explained the importance of keeping the yard watered in order to prevent the vulnerability of grass being ignited. The article also explains how to make sure dead leaves and twigs are always raked up and disposed of correctly. The article also stated that if there is an evaluation make sure that you move all flammable furniture to the center of your house, turn on exterior and interior lights in order to make sure the firefighters can see your house. In the event of evacuation, it’s important to gather fire tools such as axes, rakes, and buckets and make sure all doors are closed all windows and shutters and blinds and pet doors are also closed. Upon leaving the house it’s important to get dressed and long sleeve shirts make sure you have long pants and durable shoes as well as wear gloves and use handkerchiefs to protect your face from the smoke.

Essig, B., & Moretti, S. (2020). Preventing and preparing for disaster displacement. Revista Migraciones Forzadas, 65, 19–21.

The author in this literature explains that disasters or that of the threat of a disaster can trigger displacement in many ways such as; pre-imperative evacuations or planned relocation’s from high-risk hazard areas; escape from life-threatening send onset disasters

Research on Disaster Response and Recovery National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. 2006. Facing Hazards and Disasters: Understanding Human Dimensions. Washington, DC: The National Academies Press. https://doi.org/10.17226/11671.

This report, conducted with support from the National Science Foundation, assesses the current state of social science hazards and disaster research and provides a set of recommendations that reflect opportunities and challenges in the field. Although research to date has revealed much about how societies respond to natural and technological disasters of various types, it is clear from the following report that we need to learn more. Among the most needed types of research are studies that compare systematically the unique circumstances of catastrophic events such as major earthquakes, hurricanes, and acts of terrorism.

Humphreys, A., Walker, E. G., Bratman, G. N., & Errett, N. A. (2022). What can we do when the smoke rolls in? An exploratory qualitative analysis of the impacts of rural wildfire smoke on mental health and wellbeing, and opportunities for adaptation. BMC Public Health, 22(1). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-021-12411-2

Washington State community that has been particularly hard hit by WFS in recent years, as well as individual, family, and community adaptation solutions. Within this academic journal , the researchers conducted a study within focus groups with residents and key informant interviews with local health and social service providers. The researchers found that the Participants identified a variety of negative mental health and wellbeing impacts of WFS events, including heightened anxiety, depression, isolation, and a lack of motivation, as well as physical health impacts (e.g., respiratory issues and lack of exercise). Both positive and negative economic and social impacts, as well as temporary or permanent relocation impacts, were also found. It has been proven that wildfire smoke events present significant mental health and well-being in packs for rural communities.

This study contributes to the understanding of the relationship between crisis management procedures and local resilience responses. The results of this study argue that interpreting the community response to crisis management from the lens of resilience will allow decision-makers to more thoroughly understand the impact on the community and the related tourism industry. This research proposes a path of integration between crisis management and community response to be used for navigating the challenges that occur during uncontrolled natural disasters impacting community sustainability.

Richard K. James, & Burl E. Gilliland. (2020). Crisis Intervention Strategies: Vol. Eighth edition. Cengage Learning.

This book puts you on the front lines with the crisis worker throughout the chapters, and then illuminates the techniques and strategies the worker used. New videos in MindTap (available with the text) correlate with the text and demonstrate crisis intervention techniques, ensuring that you not only understand the theoretical underpinnings of crisis intervention theories, but also know how to apply them in crisis situations.

Persons who are victims of natural disasters, school-based and home-based violence, violent crimes, and personal or family crises. It applies a unifying model of crisis intervention, making it appropriate for front-line crisis workers-clinical psychologists, social workers, psychiatric-mental health nurses, and graduate students who need to know the latest steps and methods for intervening effectively with persons in acute crisis.

Crisis communication should be a key element in these preparations. While it is important for an organization to have a crisis communication plan, this does not guarantee success. Organizations must be dynamic and tailor their message specifically for the target audience and crisis situation. This research takes a case study approach to investigate how one public sector organization, a University, communicated with a key stakeholder group, their students, following a series of earthquakes. We find that the organization had an updated crisis management plan, practiced implementation procedures, and a well-trained experienced communication team. The organization used a range of communication tools to reach their key target audience. In addition, it was able to improvise and adjust its communication strategy.

Herovic, E., Sellnow, T. L., & Sellnow, D. D. (2020). Challenges and opportunities for pre-crisis emergency risk communication: lessons learned from the earthquake community. Journal of Risk Research, 23(3), 349–364. https://doi.org/10.1080/13669877.2019.1569097

This research showed study that soliciting and responding to feedback in the pre-crisis stage could help individuals clarify or correct any messages that are perceived by audiences as unclear or are simply not accurate. Doing so may improve risk communication effectiveness not only during the pre-crisis stage but also throughout the earthquake crisis lifecycle.
