The Burden of Natural and Technological Disaster-related Mortality on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the WHO Africa Region
African Journal of Health Sciences, 2004Co-Authors: Joses Muthuri Kirigia, Luis G Sambo, William Aldis, Germano MwabuAbstract:The WHO Africa region has the highest Disaster mortality rate compared to the other five regions of the organization. Those deaths are hypothesized to have significantly negative effect on per capita gross domestic product (GDP). The objective of this study was to estimate the loss in GDP attributable to natural and Technological Disaster-related mortality in the WHO African Region. We estimated the impact of Disaster-related mortality on GDP using double-log econometric model and cross-sectional data (from the UNDP and the World Bank publications) on 45 out of 46 countries in the WHO African Region. The coefficients for capital (K), educational enrolment (EN), life expectancy (LE) and exports (X) had a positive sign; while imports (M) and Disaster mortality (DS) were found to impact negatively on GDP. The abovementioned explanatory variables were found to have statistically significant effect on GDP at 5% level in a t-distribution test. Disaster mortality of a single person was found to reduce GDP by US$0.018. We have demonstrated that Disaster mortality has a significant negative effect on GDP. Thus, as policy-makers strive to increase GDP through capital investment, export promotion and increase in educational enrolment, they should always recall that investments in strengthening national capacity to mitigate the effects of national Disasters expeditiously and effectively shall yield significant economic returns.

perceptions of accident foreseeability and stress and coping during the evacuation period of Technological Disaster
Environment and Behavior, 2004Co-Authors: Lori J Lange, Loren Toussaint, Raymond FlemingAbstract:The public depends on experts to manage risks of technologies and to prevent or warn of a possible mishap. Perceptions of experts’ ability to predict accidents were investigated in evacuees and controls during the threat of explosion from the derailment of a train carrying liquid propane. Evacuees showed elevated stress response levels compared to controls across psychological, behavioral, and physiological modalities. Perceptions of transportation accident foreseeability moderated physiological stress for evacuees, with stronger perceptions of accident predictability associated with lower stress hormone levels. Perceptions of transportation accident foreseeability also were associated with a reactance-style response to the Disaster and problem-solving coping style in evacuees. Perceptions associated with greater secondary predictability moderated the physiological stress effects of the accident on evacuees during the acute phase of the Disaster and furthermore, was associated with more efforts to regain ...
