EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT POLICIES
EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT POLICIES
Introduction:
Disaster response is the fundamental ethos that are taken in order to mitigate further loss of life and property caused by a disastrous event.
By taking primitive measures, the response procedure attempts to restore the order of life in an immediate aftermath (Heo and Heo, 2019).
Three distinctive stages associated with disaster management policies are: disaster planning, disaster management and disaster recovery.
The disaster responses are an effort to normalize life after the disaster took place by reconstructing within a short span. With proper analysis of the disaster, its effect and consequences, disaster planning is done to recover the loss and also further efforts are assessed to prevent loss of lives due to disasters.

Assessment of the effectiveness of disaster response effort policies:
Disaster response policies are developed to help support people to procure safety and stability due to disastrous vivacity.
The initiatives about the disaster response are evaluated with the measures of MOE that is Measures of Effectiveness (Gilissen et al. 2016).
This is considered as a quantifiable management tool that sources the measurement process with proper evaluation, outcome analysis and performance management with help of the tool. By assessing, monitoring and evaluating the services and situation, the MOEs are developed.

Justifying the prediction of disaster was accurate:
The effectiveness of the response measures lies in analyzing the incident of disaster by gathering evidence.
With help of the crisis management model, the vivacity of earlier disastrous effects is then checked and evaluated as the cause (Siriwardana, Jayasiri & Hettiarachchi, 2018).
After proper evaluation of the tendency of destruction, cause and further loss probability, the response methods are taken.
The prediction may not be accurate for all the cases. The response methods are based on an incident that took place due to the same calamity or effect in a particular place. Evaluating the life and loss at a particular place during cyclones, the government takes initiative to provide extra precautionary safety and services to the dwellers (Nordberg & Booth, 2019). This might not be enough for the other disasters. However, the policies taken to help this issue are always regulated to the wellbeing of disaster stricken people and local inhabitants.

Justification if the stakeholders or citizens have been warned about the disaster properly:
The disaster-prone areas are mentioned in the red zone once any calamity is traced by the weather department.
As per the response policy of disaster, the inhabitants, local stakeholders, dwellers, fishermen near the seacoast areas are warned to maintain distance from the coast.
The response policy provides an instant support to maintain life with medical aid and other emergency services like transport, food, temporary shelter.
However, the measures might not support the loss of property and possessions and life. Therefore, the MOE infers strict rules in housing and stability factors near the disaster prone areas and prohibits any business based on tourism near the seacoast or beaches in times of cyclone or tsunami to escape danger (Rathnayake & Siriwardana, 2020).

The initiatives were proper in gaining effective response and recovery efforts to disasters:
With real time data, situational awareness optimization is done in accordance with the response measures.
By improvising information flow, measures taken to save life in a disastrous area.
Hence, the initiatives though cannot be said to be perfect, but has potential in recovering after the effects of the disasters. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has focused on the planning process to help mitigate disastrous effects by developing programs and policies (Anh & Hai-Hoa, 2017).

Contd….(The initiatives were proper in gaining effective response and recovery efforts to disasters)
By attaining system security and reliability with help of IT, tracing and tracking areas prone to effect have been made possible.
These policies support people being affected by the disaster in case proper information was not provided by the weather department. To minimize the communication gap, compensation for the stricken are provided by the government. In order to stop misleading information, proper training measures are being taken by the Federal Management Agency.

Future mitigation effort if taken in response to the disaster:
Evaluation of the earlier incidents may help the initiators get an idea on the pattern and way of the effect in associating effective support for the sufferers.
Evaluating the staff performance in rescuing people from the disastrous fact, further steps or implementation in staff performance or government ethics can be taken.
By analyzing and evaluating the loss and earlier experience, further as well as improvised measures can be taken. Strengthening the connectivity support, rescue of people from earlier may save lives more (Yuswadi, Gumanti & Maarif, 2017).

Contd….(Future mitigation effort if taken in response to the disaster)
To check, if the rescue transport, medical support was enough for the range of loss in the area.
Arranging more transport communication, ambulances to support the inhabitants are in regard to the policies. Developing strong management to provide bereaved people with a temporary relief and shelter and a partial compensation of their loss might be helpful in this regard.

Justifying if the disaster response policies were cost efficient:
The disaster management helps support the loss of houses in case government alerts regarding the risk were not mentioned earlier.
This is applicable for the loss of houses, life, animals in contractual policy bonds with selective agencies....
