Our design was, therefore, able to effectively address the problem of recall bias in most studies conducted in post-disaster settings. A limitation is that selection bias might have arisen due to the 59% response rate to the baseline survey. However, this response rate is quite comparable to ...
The map and a report showed that parts of the central United States were facing a ground-shaking disaster equal to the famously unstable terrain(地形) of California.Some 7 million people lived in places easily attacked by these man-made quakes,and almost all the risk of increasing man-made ...
Why would the frequency of natural disasters be increasing? Increased human population = more humans expected to suffer from otherwise natural events. Humans are moving toward the coasts, areas most vulnerable to hazards. Additionally, our availability to communicate disaster news has increased especially...
In addition to these variables,Fomby et al. (2013)point out that the timing of the event is also an important characteristic. They find that negative impacts tend to occur immediately after the disaster, while positive impacts occur with some delay. Finally,Roth Tran and Wilson (2022)emphasize...
Japan has comprehensive disaster prevention and mitigation systems, and the response to this earthquake has been rapid. There is also a cooperation mechanism between China and Japan focused on disaster prevention and mitigation, and some experience of Japan can be learned from. However, the location...

The natural disaster management market is projected to expand from USD 63.95 billion in 2024 to USD 114.04 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 12.3% during the forecast period. The increasing occurrence of hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and other extreme weather patterns, intensified by climate change...
We should be thankful that a “worst case scenario” for this storm never materialized, because what happened to the Bahamas could have very easily happened to us. It was the worst natural disaster that those islands have ever seen, and the recovery process is going to be measured in years...
Where did the most costly natural disaster occur?Natural disasters are extreme, sudden catastrophes that are caused by natural processes by the earth. Different types of natural disasters include floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. There are many consequences that occur as a ...
Furthermore, regions that experience natural disasters tend to have a decrease in the birth rate following the disaster, which must be accounted for when assessing outcomes.27,28 Case-control studies prove difficult as composition of the control group must be carefully considered, and recruiting ...
