The document presents a framework called the Context Capacity and Performance Model of Local Government Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). It aims to understand the drivers and barriers to DRR action by local governments. The model hypothesizes relationships between the context local governments operate in, their capacities for DRR, and their performance and action. An expert survey was conducted to validate the model and found experts had varying opinions, with context and capacity seen as equally influential, and all capacities viewed as similarly important, though financial capacity was overestimated and policy context was underestimated. More research is needed, including broader expert and local government surveys, and case studies applying the model.

Integrative Review of Factors Associated with the Willingness of Health Care ...Global Risk Forum GRFDavos
This document summarizes a review of factors associated with healthcare personnel's willingness to work during an influenza public health emergency. The review identified 32 relevant studies published between 2001-2010. The studies examined factors like gender, occupation, education and personal protective equipment availability that affected willingness. Being male, a doctor/nurse, and having prior training/experience increased willingness. Concerns for family and lack of protective gear decreased willingness. Ensuring access to antivirals, vaccines and liability protection for mistakes were the most effective interventions to increase willingness. The review provides guidance for emergency planning to understand and influence healthcare workers' willingness during an influenza pandemic.
The document presents a seismic risk assessment model for a hospital's emergency department (ED). The model includes physical, functional, and patient-oriented submodels linked together. The physical submodel uses structural analysis to determine floor accelerations and drift from ground motions. The functional submodel assesses loss of functionality to examination and operating rooms. The patient-oriented submodel models patient flow through the ED and calculates performance indices based on waiting times. The full model is used to predict ED performance in an earthquake scenario and provide a seismic risk analysis framework.

Brad Keating presented on adapting mass casualty response to increasing active shooter incidents. He discussed establishing integrated entry teams of law enforcement and medical personnel to rapidly enter warm zones to perform triage and lifesaving interventions. Current triage methods have low accuracy rates, so a simplified two-step model was proposed. Preparation through integrated training of all responding agencies and a unified command structure was emphasized to allow for the most effective response and reduce mortality rates from delayed entry.

This document summarizes a study on barriers to considering uncertainties and controversies in urban flood risk governance in Quy Nhon, Vietnam in the context of climate change. The study examined three flood management projects and found poor consideration of uncertainties and limited stakeholder participation. Barriers identified by decision-makers like lack of information and funding masked deeper issues like the influence of private interests and lack of accountability. The study suggests barriers are rooted in issues of governance and political arrangements, and managing flood risk requires addressing uncertainties politically rather than just technically. Overcoming barriers requires a systemic approach that considers their complex and interconnected nature.

This document summarizes a presentation on integrative risk assessment and management for residential recycled water schemes in Australia. It introduces residential recycled water schemes and their objectives to reduce potable water demand, effluent discharge, and stormwater runoff. It then shows that few schemes in Australia have been successful long-term. Through historical analysis and industry surveys, it identifies key risks to schemes' long-term viability like public health concerns, economic challenges, and regulatory issues. The presentation argues current risk assessment and management practices have limitations like poorly defined objectives and an independent approach that does not consider time and context adequately. Improved integrative risk management is needed for resilient recycled water schemes.

Editor's Notes
Thank you for the introduction.
Thank you for having me here.
During the 1980s and 1990s, a shift in society took place when neoliberal ideas of freedom through deregulation, smaller government and market facilitation became the norm to steer and govern society.
As a result, deregulation and liberalization of the public sector in Sweden and Europe evolved.
The competitive tendering processes became a tool to operate through strategic collaboration and cooperation across boundaries in society,
The public entities could concentrate on their core functions and control the tenders/contractors
The idea of collaboration and cooperation rest on the notion of the possibility to build a resilient society
With this in mind one can start ask the question
Why is feedback and learning important?
How does it fit in the picture?
The idea is that
To use contractors experiences of feedback
to build knowledge bases
and exceed in innovations
In short: Build a society that is well informed and prepared for the challenges that lay ahead.
We talk about lessons learned as means to build a stronger and resilient society
BUT does all understand the importance of sharing information and experiences?
IF SO where does the sharing take place? Who is involved? What do one share?
I performed case study on the Swedish National Transport Administration
The STA governs all state roads in Sweden
All maintenance contracts are tendered
I gathered my data through Semi structured interviews, with 28 respondents from the STA and two contracting companies
In 2 different geographical areas in mid Sweden I gathered data
The areas were chosen by their experiences of flooding and its impact on the state roads in the areas.
One has reoccurrence of floodings
One has newly experiences of floodings
The result was analyzed through a socio technical system approach and resulted in a somewhat complex picture over how sharing of experiences and knowledge take place.
The STS give us an idea of how integrated society is.
Here represented by to overlapping figures aka two organizations
with top down steering signals (on the left) and upward feedback signals (on the right).
On the outside (to the far right) we can see other signals and factors that play role in shaping our society.
In this case where these factors not discussed, but these factors do have influences on goals and means for society and of different organizations.
When it comes to learning and sharing does the theory of how we learn say that top-down incentives and feedback loops build a knowledge base for incorporating changes and learn from experiences.
The processes are driven by differences of top-down steering signals
but also in what is given back through the feedback signals on the right hand in the picture.
The idea is that relationships evolve and the understanding of problems and their solutions are the same.
During the analysis parallels emerged, intra-organizational relations play a stronger part then anticipated by legislators.
ALSO
The parallels could be explained by the differences of goals and means of the two different entities
The means and goals are quite different between the public and private actors.
One the public actor is to save money and use resources wisely in shorter relationships (due to corruption allegations)
The other private entity wants long-lasting relationships, with profit as a end result
I’ll elaborate a bit more in the next picture.
In this picture are the top levels in society diffused.
This represent lack of incentives, strategies and policies for sharing of experiences and knowledge
The diffusion can be understood as lack of trust upwards but also across tiers ,
Lack of a strong understanding of why sharing of experiences are important,
but could also be part of how contracts and the tender process is handled which I did not discuss but could sense in answers.
The theory of how we learn say that top-down incentives and feedback loops build a knowledge base for incorporating changes and learn from experiences.
In both single and double loops of learning.
The drive for feedback signals is influencing how well the organizations can adopt and use the lessons that are learned by the individuals.
Importance for the individuals to sense that their experiences make a difference.
Including incentives of reporting, discussing and thinking outside the box and less scapegoat mentality.
The differences mentioned before as means and goals are a hindrance for sharing of lessons learned to occur.
The contractors are the ones with the experience they share in what we can call incremental changes.
The real knowledge is kept to their organizations or to themselves as a an advantage point for future tenders and negotiations.
To achieve a systematic learning over organizational borders
In this study was it clear that the respondent trusted the close groups of people but did not reveal any trust in other directions.
Nested loops exist NO 1 in groups and among individuals that trust each other find that there is some sort of win-win situation (can solve a problem quicker and better)
but the feedback is also selective in content, if finding the experience being of benefit for their own professional future.
The respondents all claimed to share and discuss acute problems, is of incremental art.
BUT a longer perspectives were lacking. Sort of lack of incentives, understandign or maybe even will to why sharing and why it is important
When it comes to sharing information of importance for solving problems there is a discrepancy
The public actor claimed to give extensive information of a project the full arrow 2 to fulfil requirements to solve problems and work efficient.
The private actor give away knowledge and experiences to a trusted group within the public entity (as well as the other way around) The shattered arrow 3.
The nested loops could stand a chance if incentives from the top down are known and understood,
Other important features for succeeding in sharing and trust in each other are: Trust between individuals at all levels is another strong feature for succeeding in sharing
Same background, education, training - all help to build a common ground for sharing and trust to occur.
Incentives of thinking outside the box, build a culture of no blame, something rather easy to say and hard to fulfil.
Other ways are
Tools that are known for Risk analysis, analysis and statistics of reported accidents and incidents.
I found weak steering signals for sharing of experiences
I found weak feedback loops
And weak nested loops of sharing
Much of this could be explained
by lack of trust upwards, and among individuals and groups
Lack of sensing a win-win situation and to be listen to
Resulting in a selective approach on feedback
Experience was sensed as an advantage point something to negotiate with and use as a leverage point in tenders.
