Abstract: Communication is a primary challenge in response to natural and man-made disasters. The purpose of this study is to determine the forms of communications that played a critical role in disaster preparedness during the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami (Tohoku earthquake). The study used a case study research method and included six informants following the purposive s ling technique. Data was collected through unstructured in-depth interviews. The findings suggest that communication in all forms played a vital role in disaster preparedness. In the survivor’s view, however, the impact of broadcast media in establishing situational awareness was limited. Local disaster management efforts, such as, “on call,” or emergency measures, such as, personnel and trucks with communication systems, mobile phone alarms, and sirens were viewed by survivors as useful in transmitting unambiguous, specific messages in a demanding tsunami context. In particular, the study demonstrates that residents’ trust in risk/disaster related messages and mediums play vital roles in subsequent behaviour/response to natural disasters.

Abstract: In this study, we report a new BODIPY-based design, called the cross-conjugated design , that takes advantage of the α- and β-position functionalization of the BODIPY core.

Abstract: Being part of the expert team sent by Hungarian National Directorate General for Disaster Management to Tirana after the 6.4 magnitude earthquake in 2019, and experienced the fear of residents living in slightly or heavily cracked buildings raised the question of preparedness to against seismic events in other moderate seismic regions such as Hungary. Recent earthquakes within the moderate range have proved that moderate seismicity does not necessarily equate to moderate damage suffered.Vulnerability to earthquakes has increased due to extending urban areas. This paper presents lessons learnt after medium-sized earthquakes and examines the adaptability of measures taken afterwards and the possibility to apply these methods to other regions in Hungary and throughout Europe where the seismic hazard is not great, but cannot be ignored. To reduce the potential damage, a comprehensive assessment of the seismic risk followed by a package of relevant remedial measures is needed. Methods developed for Hungary is presented compared to methods applied in other regions to determine local site effects, vulnerability, and preparedness, being the main components responsible to risks. Based on the results, engineers can better plan to make improvements to infrastructure, and authorities can better plan for emergency activities in case of a seismic event.
