A disaster management plan is essential because it can guide library personnel on what to do in a critical time. Using an eight-part survey instrument, this paper documents the impact of Typhoon Haiyan on 22 academic libraries in Northern Panay, Western Visayas, Philippines and the disaster management practices that were implemented. The results revealed that although the majority of the libraries do not have a disaster management plan, they all had common disaster management practices that enabled them to save parts of their collections. Moreover, the study revealed that librarians lacked knowledge and skills on disaster management.

Applying a novel non-dominated sorting differential evolutionary algorithm (NSDEA) procedure to a DC power flow based multi-objective transmission expansion planning (MOTEP) model, this paper aims to develop a Reference Grid Performance Assessment Model that can be used as a benchmark when evaluating investment proposals for the transmission upgrade. Investment cost, line rental cost and amount of load curtailment are considered in the optimization as the three objective prerequisites. In addition, the static MOTEP problem has been investigated in both greenfield and expansion planning problem with and without generation rescheduling considerations. The proposed model was applied to a realistic 46-bus South Brazilian system. Simulation results show the accuracy, outstanding convergence performance in finding the optimal solution, simple implementation as well as satisfactory computation time of the proposed solution technique.

The academic libraries in Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, Philippines are vulnerable to disasters. In the last ten years, the majority of the 13 respondent libraries have sustained at least one disaster that may have been caused by civil unrest, war or terrorism, flood, earthquake, or fire. The majority were unprepared to face such disasters, may it be small-scale or catastrophic, and only one library has a disaster management plan. The lack of significant holdings of rare books, shortage of financial resources, no perceived risk, and the unavailability of staff to write a disaster management plan, are the reasons why most libraries do not have a plan. Moreover, the majority lacked staff that has undergone training in disaster preparedness and management. On the other hand, all of the libraries have disaster management practices that although not enough, will still enable them to lessen the effects of the disaster and save their library and parts of their collection when necessary. The respondents identified management support as an essential factor in their success in disaster management. The results of the study provide valuable information on the current state of the libraries in the Philippines with regards to disaster preparedness and management. Therefore, it is an essential addition to the literature on disaster management in the Philippines, which is very scarce as of the moment. Journal article 2019-09-01T00:00:00Z
