Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Disaster Management (a.k.a. Emergency management). We have three main work areas:

  • Theoretical and background information, including the phrases: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. This section also covers methods for managing disasters.
  • Hazards and their impacts, which cause disasters. Examples of hazards include, earthquakes, drought and epidemics. When those hazards impact people, it creates a disaster, such as the Boxing Day tsunami and the World Trade center attack).
  • Organisations and Individuals involved in disaster management

Thank you for taking the time to be a part of educating Wikipedians about managing disasters. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

About the Project[edit]

Goals[edit]

  1. Create a categorisation of concepts and applied terminology
  2. Maintain one inventory page of disastrous events, see list of disasters
  3. Merge articles that describe similar concepts into one comprehensive article

Central articles[edit]

  • Emergency services
  • Disasters, List of disasters
    • Natural disasters

Standards[edit]

Definition, scope & structure[edit]

No classification of this project has been agreed upon. The subject is being discussed by project members on a dedicated talk page.The scope of this WikiProject is any article relating to policies as well as implementations of disaster management. This include emergency services operations (police, ambulance, and fire service) as well as the phenomenological description of natural and man-made hazards. It also include individual disastrous events, e.g. hurricane Katrina and the Ethiopian famine in the 1980s.

Naming convention[edit]

Main page: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disaster management/Naming

A naming convention for such articles is also definitely required. It has been decided that all articles concerning individual disasters should be <<year>> <<place>> <<event>>. To illustrate the point with an example, the article October 11, 2006 New York City plane crash was recently renamed to 2006 New York City plane crash

Articles[edit]

The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team requests that more disaster articles be assessed as to their quality and importance. To help facilitate this, Template:Disaster management could be modified to accept optional quality and importance arguments (and by default add articles to an 'unassessed' category). See Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Using the bot for how to do this and how to set things up so a bot will automatically keep track of statistics on assessed articles. After the setup is completed, volunteers will need to go through Category:Disasters and assess all the articles there and in appropriate subcategories. (See below for ideas.) Some articles have been assessed already:

  • Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/WPHumanities#Wikipedia:WikiProject_Disaster_management.

See also:

  • Wikipedia:Article assessment/Natural disasters (inactive results from experimental assessment)
Checklist

This is a quick checklist of things to look for when systematically assessing articles, especially those for disaster events. If you find deficiencies you don't have time to fix yourself, create a to do list at the top of the article's talk page by adding {{To do}} there. Then you can edit the to do list and add items to it.

  • Assign quality and importance according to the definitions at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment. See the top of the talk page of the article of interest to see if this has already been done.
  • Is the article in the correct categories?
  • Does the title comply with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (most common English name) and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (events)?
  • Does the first paragraph give a concise explanation of the subject, including alternate names in bold, location, major causes, and major outcomes?
  • Does the article use the correct infobox? Is everything in the infobox filled in?
  • Is there a concise assessment of the loss to human life?
  • Is there a concise assessment of the financial losses? Are figures clearly labeled as to whether they are in (for instance) 1900 dollars or 2007 dollars? Is a modern inflation-adjusted estimate available?
  • Does the article cite its sources using footnotes, especially for statistics?
  • Does the article have a map showing the area affected?
  • Does the article have a photograph illustrating the event?
  • Is the article in need of wikification, copy-editing, or other cleanup?
  • Major articles should be linked from lists such as List of wars and disasters by death toll, and the statistics presented in lists need to be consistent with those found in articles (which hopefully have references)

To do list[edit]

WikiProject:Disaster management

Here are some article-related tasks you can do to improve coverage of disaster management topics on Wikipedia:
  • Improve:Random Hacks of Kindness, Ramstein airshow disaster, Emergency management, Canal Hotel bombing, Threat of the Dnieper reservoirs, I-35W Mississippi River bridge, Boys in Red Tragedy
  • Expand:Disaster response, Stampede, Bambi bucket, Environmental hazard, Environmental disaster, 1948 Ashgabat earthquake, 1920 Gansu earthquake, 1998 Papua New Guinea earthquake, 2009 Hermosillo daycare center fire, Counter-IED efforts, Thomas Fire
  • Create:Vulnerability (society) see Vulnerability, Hazard (society) see Natural hazard
Additional suggestions
  • There is a lot of duplication of efforts and confusion of terminology surrounding disaster management on Wikipedia now. Examples include Disasters and Natural disasters. The current categorisation is also far from great, lacking in structure and logic. The task to clean up in this domain is immense, but it has to be done.
