Examining the impact of communication during disasters: A case of perennial flooding along the Niger

Background: Communication remains a valuable tool needed for the survival of humans and societies. Even in the midst of natural and man-made disasters, communication has proven to be an indispensable component. Therefore, this study examines the impact of communication during disasters in Nigeria. Specifically, the study is on the use of communication during flood events along the River Niger which flows through some states in the country. Methods: This study is based on the theoretical framework of the disaster communication management model. This study focused on three states of Anambra, Edo and Kogi for the study. Using Cochran’s statistical formula for sample size determination, the study sampled 664 from the population of the three states and used questionnaires as the data collection instrument. Commencing in 2022, the study spanned over a period of three years as online surveys and physical administration of questionnaires were explored to collect data within the stipulated time. Findings: The study findings revealed that several communication media and channels were explored for exchange during flood disasters and these were group, interpersonal and customary channels such as town spokespersons as well as traditional media of radio and TV. Furthermore, the study found that while interpersonal, group and indigenous media channels were effective, the same could not be said of traditional media and new media platforms. Conclusion: Disaster communication is an effective way towards disaster management, and among others, recommends that stakeholders should prioritize risk communication to minimize losses caused by disasters especially floods in Nigeria. The study revealed that confusion, infrastructure damage and lack of knowledge on community-based approaches are some of the challenges faced in communication during disasters. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study highlights the effectiveness of interpersonal, group and indigenous media communication in flood disaster response, which proved to be more effective than traditional and digital media

Rehabilitation and reconstruction emergency response management

Background: Disasters have long-term impacts on sustainable development, disrupting socio-economic systems, governance, infrastructure, and the psychological well-being of affected communities. As a disaster-prone country, Indonesia has developed an integrated disaster management system that emphasizes rehabilitation and reconstruction as critical phases in the recovery process. Methods: This study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach by reviewing regulatory documents—particularly PerKa BNPB No. 11/2008—and various institutional frameworks, including the disaster management cycle and the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) system known. Findings: The analysis reveals that rehabilitation focuses on temporary repairs and restoring basic public services, while reconstruction targets permanent rebuilding efforts that emphasize sustainability, community empowerment, and institutional resilience. Implementation strategies for both phases differ in focus and timeline but are complementary. Conclusion: The findings also highlight the importance of standardized tools such as Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA), which combines the World Bank’s DALA and UNDP’s HRNA, to assess physical damages and human recovery needs across five sectors. The study concludes that sustainable rehabilitation and reconstruction must be positioned as long-term strategic priorities in Indonesia’s disaster management framework. Successful implementation demands multisectoral collaboration through a pentahelix model involving government, civil society, academia, media, and the private sector. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive integration of sustainability principles and human-centered recovery into the post-disaster planning framework, offering a replicable model for holistic disaster resilience

Relocation of residents on the banks of the pluit reservoir and its impact on the level of community vulnerability

Background: Flooding, particularly tidal flooding, has become a major environmental threat to coastal cities around the world, including Jakarta, Indonesia. North Jakarta, which directly borders the Java Sea, is one of the most flood-prone areas, with high vulnerability due to climate change, land subsidence, and unplanned urban settlement. This study focuses on the Pluit area, historically a water retention zone, which has undergone significant transformation in its spatial and social structure. Methods: This study employs a qualitative approach based on a literature review and secondary data analysis. It investigates the dynamics of community vulnerability in North Jakarta, with a special focus on the impact of relocation from the banks of the Pluit Reservoir to Rusunawa Muara Baru. The research also compares social, economic, and environmental conditions before and after the relocation process to assess changes in flood risk and resilience. Findings: The relocation program around the Pluit Reservoir has contributed significantly to reducing community vulnerability to flood risk. Compared to previous major flood events in 2002 and 2015, the Pluit area experienced minimal flooding during the Jakarta flash flood in early 2020, despite the area being 4 meters below sea level. The restored function of Pluit as a "Ponder" area with reinforced embankments has proven effective in controlling water intrusion. However, projections indicate that sea-level rise will submerge large parts of North Jakarta by 2050. Conclusion: Integrating spatial planning, historical water infrastructure restoration, and social relocation strategies can effectively reduce urban flood risk. Nonetheless, long-term sustainability is threatened by climate change-driven sea-level rise. Multi-sectoral adaptation strategies are urgently needed to secure the future of low-lying urban coastal areas. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study highlights the effectiveness of combining historical water infrastructure concepts with modern relocation strategies in mitigating urban flood risk, offering a localized yet scalable model for other flood-prone coastal cities

Sustainable emergency response management

Background: Climate change and disasters pose complex challenges to sustainable development, disrupting economic, environmental, and social systems. This study explores sustainable emergency management by analyzing theoretical frameworks, governance structures, and local adaptation strategies, with a case study focused on the 2018 earthquake, tsunami, and liquefaction in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Methods: This study employs a qualitative-descriptive approach based on literature reviews and secondary data analysis, aiming to identify best practices and existing gaps in emergency response programs. Findings: The findings highlight that effective emergency response requires coordinated action among government agencies, communities, and humanitarian actors. Community participation, data-driven decision-making, inclusive governance, and cultural approaches are key elements that support long-term resilience. However, major challenges remain, including a lack of coordination, inadequate data sharing, and overreliance on short-term assistance. The case of Central Sulawesi shows that integrating local knowledge and national cluster systems into emergency operations significantly improves recovery outcomes. Conclusion: This study concludes that sustainable emergency response must be multisectoral, combining social, economic, and environmental perspectives with strong governance, transparency, and inclusive planning. To improve future responses, emergency management must prioritize community engagement, establish clear coordination mechanisms, and promote adaptive knowledge-based strategies. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this paper lies in its emphasis on sustainable resilience as a knowledge-driven and community-centered process. By highlighting Indonesia's experience, particularly in Central Sulawesi, this study provides insights into how disaster-prone countries can strengthen disaster governance and enhance their capacity to recover and adapt, not only to current risks but also to future challenges in a changing climate

Evaluasi pelaksanaan rehabilitasi dan rekonstruksi: Konsep dan metode teknis monitoring

Disasters are serious disruptions to the functioning of communities or societies involving extensive human, material, economic, or environmental losses and impacts that exceed the affected community's or society's ability to cope using its own resources. Disaster mitigation is crucial. However, disasters are sometimes unavoidable and ultimately require post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction. Thus, post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction also become other important aspects to be planned before or after a disaster occurs. This study aims to examine the implementation of rehabilitation and reconstruction plans through the concept and technical monitoring methods. This research is qualitative and employs a literature review method. In other words, this research conducts an assessment related to the topic of post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction evaluation in previous research, scientific sources, or reports from reputable sources. The main criteria for monitoring and evaluating the post-disaster recovery process are timely and comprehensive estimates. There are several problem aspects that can arise during disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction, such as program readiness, funding, post-disaster physical environmental conditions, political issues, and program implementation time. The research results indicate that in the recovery process, both post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction require a clear, structured, and transparent monitoring and evaluation system. Thus, synergy among the government, affected communities, and partners involved in the rehabilitation and reconstruction process is crucial

Climate change and public health in this new era: Understanding health disasters due to climate change

The environment and natural resources are undoubtedly under threat from a number of factors as a global society, such as desertification, water scarcity, climate change, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and reliance on toxic energy sources. Furthermore, the outcome of the Covid-19 epidemic is still unknown. This study aims to explore the contemporary interaction between public health and climate change. We need to begin developing new conceptual approaches—that is, better ways of thinking, speaking, and doing. This is the first idea we need to consider, and we should do it in light of climate change, a particularly large-scale and intricate environmental disaster. Expanding our perspectives on health communication is necessary, as is delivering messages that encourage meaningful involvement and wise approach decisions rather than inspiring apathy, fear, or melancholy. In order to accomplish an affordable way of life in the natural environment and to develop comprehensive and forward-thinking methods that stop prolonged climate change, we must provide communities and governments with our help
