Proposal of a New Disaster Manual for Implementation of Efficient Disaster Management Measures
The ideal disaster management measures are to be conducted by property balancing the following three measures: Disaster Mitigation or efforts to prevent hazards from becoming disasters, Preparedness/Disaster Response or measures to prevent the disaster from affecting widely, and Optimum Recovery/Reconstruction Plan or prompt recovery and reconstruction to minimize the disaster effects. It is needless to say that a disaster management manual should contribute to the improvement of each of these approaches. Unfortunately, most of the existing manuals are mainly aimed at the Preparedness/Disaster Response. They are Government prepared, with inconveniences such as ambiguity over where the responsibility lies and the characteristics of the region and organization. They are thick printed material, difficult to edit and evaluate. Such manuals do not improve the overall disaster management. Based on these points, this paper presents a New Disaster Management Manual for total earthquake disaster management. This manual considers time flow and damage characteristic and scale so that the organizations and regions, which actually use this manual, can sort out potential problems, review, conduct and assess efficient disaster management measures. In this way, they can create a favorable dynamic environment for disaster management improvement. The authors believe that three functions are necessary to achieve the proposed manual: Analysis and Assessment of existing manuals Independent Edition by each purpose/user , and Drafting and Updating of manual . With these functions, the users can understand the disaster countermeasure relations as well as their roles from different points of view and review the manual by themselves.
