Un/natural disasters IV: a philosophy of warning and alarming multiple simultaneous un/natural disasters

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to describe the phenomenon of multiple simultaneous un/natural disasters (MSDs). This study also aims to describe the importance and contribution of philosophy in describing MSDs warning and alarming systems.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper summarizes topics in the philosophy of MSDs that were covered in detail in previous research in order to continue with the topic of the philosophy of MSDs alarming and warning. A practical solution to conceptual paradoxes is researched by means of conceptual-morphological analysis.

Findings

The paper proposes a conceptual idea for MSDs alarming system which is its main topic; namely, it offers a conceptual solution to a series of practical-conceptual paradoxes that occur before, during and after MSDs.

Research limitations/implications

This is only a conceptual research, and it does not deal with particular technological solutions.

Practical implications

The proposed solution of this research could be implemented in various warning and alarm systems.

Originality/value

The proposed concept of a universal alarm system for MSDs was not previously proposed.
