Classmates and Professor,
The article by Seyedin, Samadipour & Salman (2020) discusses how the role of people can be improved in crisis management plans and the factors that affect risk perception. One of the factors that stood out is psychological factors. According to Seyedin et al., psychological factors comprise emotions, mental images, internal and external control. For instance, the authors explain that worries, anxiety, and concern are particularly effective for ensuring risk perceptions and protective measures. Also, the authors state that a community that a disaster has previously hit will psychologically prepare for catastrophes and undertake various protective measures. This psychological factor stood out for me because I believe the mind plays a crucial role in determining our actions in different situations. Psychological factors also decide whether or not we become worried or take something for granted. When a community takes warnings for granted, they are more likely to be caught off-guard. If we become concerned about disasters, we are likely to take participate in prevention measures. Therefore, our mental perspectives significantly affect perceptions and the actions we take.
The study concludes that the various factors affecting perception were presented to various institutions, including educational, managerial, and cultural. The study revealed that a collaborative plan would effectively play a role in changing the communities’ perceptions. The authors also argue that using a family-centered approach will significantly improve the community member’s perceptions regarding risk. Notably, the authors argue that educational and participatory can have a significant impact on people’s perspectives. I believe that the study concludes well and sheds light on how people’s attitudes can be transformed through a family-centered approach. I think that the family-centered approach will aid in communicating the need for risk recognition and planning. Family members tend to trust each other more and are also likely to convince other family members on getting on-board with disaster planning measures. By tapping into families, negative perceptions such as doubt and ignorance can be rectified and evoke a more positive perspective regarding disaster planning. According to Flood response plan: City of Fort Worth (2019) flash floods can occur anywhere, and residents required to be informed on flooding response plans. Members of the community are more likely to take action or participate in disaster planning to protect their families from the effects of disasters.
