Typhoon Haiyan ("Yolanda") was the strongest typhoon in world history which struck the central part of the Philippines last November 8, 2013. The international community got involved in the recovery and rehabilitation of devastated areas. However, educational institutions were among the first to respond to the needs not just of affected families but also that of rescuers and support providers. Consequently, the Eastern Visayas State University in Tacloban City became the "logistic depot" of supplies coming from international non-governmental organizations. EVSU also served as nerve center for a lot of foreign nationals who did ocular visits and other research works.
Is there anyone interested to join a multi-disciplinary team of researchers for a scientific and wholistic study on the role of academic institutions in disaster risk management? Please send your comment to [email protected]
Dear Colleague,
Whenever there are more details available, I would appreciate it very much if you could send them to me via e-mail.
Best regards
I would be interrested. I was in Philippina in november in Tacloban. I send you private mail soon!
Bests regards
Seems interesting I have sent you my additional information via email. Thank you, kind regards.
Which kind of hazards are you interested to assess? Your study is from the hazard itself to vulnerability, to risk? Structural and human vulnerability?
Yeas, you are very much correct that academician can play vital role in this field. We are ready to work together if possible.
I would be interested to participate in this great project. If possible, please send me more detail via private email ([email protected]).What are you exactly looking for? what data do you have and what is the main goal of the project?
Depends on the details and the main structure of your project, may we can join you as a multidisciplinary group (a professional group in risk management field) from the university of Bordeaux - France.
Looking forward to hearing more from you
I am very interested in this project as I am working for the Faculty of Disaster Management of Patuakhali Science and Technology University in Bangladesh.
Let me know what is next to do
Best regards

I would be delighted to help out. I am employed as a mobile emergency medical services physician (anesthesiology) and have some publication experience and a reasonable grasp of large statistical modelling and public health regulatory affairs.
You can also try Prof. JC Gaillard at Auckland University. He has been doing a lot of disaster risk reduction work in the Philippines.
I'm interested in this study. I'm the head of the disaster management department in TelAviv university. I was in Bogo city in Cebu island with the Israeli field hospital after Yulanda hit this area.
I also interested in this project. I'm a visiting researcher in Seoul National University. My main research area is a risk analysis of coastal structures considering climate change impact. Recently I submitted a paper about hurricane storm surge prediction model to Natural Hazard. Now I also collaborate with US Army ERDC, CHL.
I would be glad to discuss the possibility of collaboration. Since the attack on the U.S at the World Trade Center thirteen years ago tomorrow, I have been the Director of the Institute for Disaster and Emergency Preparedness at Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine where I also serve as Associate Dean for education, Planning and Research as well as Professor of Family Medicine/Public Health and Biomedical Informatics. Our .Institute for Disaster and Emergency Preparedness has received support from the.Public Health Service and was designated by the Assistant Secretary for Disaster and Response to be part of the National Emergency Strategy Team (TEAM). We have provided training in 48 of the 50 states in the U.S. and in 14 foreign nations both face-to-face and on-line to more than 250,000 people and have given papers at many national meetings as well published a number of papers in peer-reviewed journals.. Two years ago we initiated a Masters of Science degree in Disaster and Emergency Preparedness.
I would love to be part of the research as i am myself involved in the teaching and learning of DRM in our institution where we are have a full masters course in DRM in the department of civil engineering, Institute of Engineering in Tribhuwan University Nepal. Nepal has been experiencing all kinds of disasters annually and has been ranked in top 20 most vulnerable nation in the world. We have been working with CNRD network which is a network of 11 university around the world and currently developed a module on Eco DRR ie ecosystem approach for DRR. The module has been adopted by more than 30 universities in collaboration with UNEP. We are a member in the national platform for DRR.
I am interested in collaboration. I am a German social scientist with many years of expertise in risk and disaster research, particularly risk perception in international compartive settings and what we can learn from it for risk and crisis communication.
If you are interested in this offer, please send me an e-mail via: [email protected]
I am also interested in collaboration, the international perspectives and the resulting knowledge synthesis are likely to have important outcomes, [email protected]
I am also interested in the study,I an coordinator for Disaster management department at university ,From last five years we are doing projects on Disaster management as USR(university social responsibility ),We worked on awareness and training part in entire district for lightning and earthquake disaster,lightning deaths in this region reduced after our efforts ,.I will mail you details of our work on your mail id..my mail id is [email protected]
