Lessons in Architectural Disaster: The Narrative of Structural Failures Amidst the vast landscape of architectural education, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse stands as a haunting reminder of the intricate relationship between structure and design. Lectures reverberate with the echoes of "cumulative effects of undampened rhythmic forces" and "intense resonant oscillation," cautioning against the pitfalls of disregarding structural integrity. The Millennium Bridge in London, too, bears witness to the repercussions of overlooking structural dynamics, as the rhythmic footsteps of pedestrians induced unsettling vibrations, prompting its temporary closure for remediation. Even the historic Albert Bridge, adorned with a sign prohibiting marching soldiers from Chelsea Barracks due to resonant frequencies, serves as a stark testament to the delicate balance between form and function. Yet, as the annals of architectural history unfold, today's lesson arrives with a sombre tone—the fall of Baltimore's Key Bridge after a devastating collision with the vessel Dali. The narrative echoes the timeless tale of the Ancient Mariner, where the misfortunes of one reverberate through the fate of many. In the wake of this tragedy, architects are confronted with a poignant reminder—the conceptual notion of disaster as a design element. It is not merely an abstract concept but a tangible reality, intent on imparting its lesson to students of architecture. As the Key Bridge crumbles into the depths below, it serves as a stark symbol of the consequences of overlooking structural integrity and the profound impact of design decisions on the built environment. The incident underscores the imperative for architects to not only master the principles of form and aesthetics but also to embrace a holistic understanding of structure and engineering. Amidst the chaos and devastation, there lies an opportunity for reflection and growth—a call for architects to imbue their designs with a deep reverence for the forces of nature and the imperative of resilience. For it is in confronting the challenges of disaster that architects find the true essence of their craft—a synthesis of artistry, innovation, and unwavering dedication to the safety and well-being of society. As the Key Bridge stands as a solemn reminder of the fragility of human endeavour, architects are tasked with the solemn duty of weaving disaster into the very fabric of their designs, transforming tragedy into resilience, and imbuing the built environment with the wisdom gained from the lessons of the past.

The International Day for Disaster Reduction.

The International Day for Disaster Reduction (IDDR) is an international day that encourages every citizen and government to take part in building more disaster-resilient communities and nations. The United Nations General Assembly designated October 13 as the International Day for Natural Disaster Reduction as part of its proclamation of the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction.

In 2002, by a further resolution, the General Assembly decided to maintain the annual observance as a vehicle to promote a global culture of natural disaster reduction, including prevention, mitigation, and preparedness.

In 2009, the UN General Assembly decided to designate October 13 as the official date for this day, and also changed the name to International Day for Disaster Reduction.

It looks delicious as a normal snack 🍞 My parents' house is in Miyagi, and I was damaged by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, so I am very keenly aware of the importance of stockpiling disaster prevention on a daily basis.

REALIZATIONS AND INSIGHTS

One of my realizations is that in order to prevent a larger catastrophe, we should start in planning how to handle disasters in our homes. We will never know when disasters will come, we shouldn’t wait for the time that we will regret not being able to plan. If a community isn’t prepared for disasters, many lives are at stake and usually during disasters, help usually takes a long time to come because of external factors. It is a good thing that in school, we are being trained how to handle disasters because it can happen anytime and anywhere. 

In the current situation of our country right now, we should not turn a blind eye to those who are in need of help. We should be open to assist and as early as now we should try to educate our families and friends in what they can do in case of emergencies.

A Review of Flood Disaster and Disaster Management in Malaysia

Mother nature is a force to be reckoned with. Something you have no power over of: a disaster. One cannot simply stop this tragedy from happening yet at certain occasions, it is something we may prevent.  Moe et al. (2007) defined a disaster as a situation which overwhelms local capacity, necessitating a request to the national or international level for external assistance. According to the Emergency Disasters Database (2006), disasters are classified as an event that must fulfill at least one of the following conditions: ten or more people reported killed, 100 people or more reported affected, a declaration of a state of emergency or a call for international assistance. A type of natural disaster that affects human lives and the environment is Flooding. The most frequent severe weather threat and the costliest natural disaster facing the nation. 

The serious flood happened in 2014 that gave a massive negative impact on the economy and society of several states especially in Kelantan, Malaysia. Flooding is extensive, severe, unpredictable and results in significant loss of life, damage to crops, livestock, property, and public infrastructure. The General Director of the Drainage and Irrigation Department, Hussaini (2015) states that there are two major water-related problems affecting this country; excess water (floods) and water shortage (droughts).

In Malaysia, Billa, et al., (2006) proposed a spatial decision support system (SDSS) technology in flood disaster management that incorporate capabilities in the areas of dialog between system component, data acquisition, storage and retrieval and data modelling and manipulation. These capabilities broadly involve the sharing of interactive mapping tools, evaluation of results by multi-criteria evaluation techniques, visualization and display of results. A well design SDSS for flood disaster management should thus present a balance among these three capabilities.

Flooding can happen at any moment. It is essential that residents and those who live within the area be prepared in case such a disaster occurs. Locals in the area should exert effort in paying attention to news on weather forecasts as to be ready. Mayors in the towns should have a seminar for the people to attend and brief them with instructions on what to do so the people can be ready for what’s to come.
