I added this to 2022 in science:
One science journalist reflects on the global management of the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to science, investigating the question "Why the WHO took two years to say COVID is airborne" [1] – a finding hundreds of scientists reaffirmed in an open letter in July 2020 [2] – with one indication that this may be one valid major concern to many expert scientists being several writings published by news outlets. [3] [4]
I then searched for a Wikipedia section about "Disaster reflection" as well as for relevant high-quality material but couldn't really find either.
I'm sure there are studies and other WP:RS about disaster reflection though so could please add a section about it if have/find any? What I'm basically referring to is:
Disaster reflection (maybe it often goes by other terms like "catastrophe retrospection") is routinely and systematically analyzing past problems in the management of a disaster as well as the causes that lead to the disaster or its severity and helps with delineating potential measures to address these issues for the future (during and especially after the phase of "Recovery"). It identifies and assesses major issues, systemic (often cascading or intertwined) faults and leverage points.
Possibly relevant to this:
Any feedback / comments / additional relevant material?

There's probably more and maybe somebody could check if there's something like a review or aggregated lists of issues of what went wrong / was problematic per disaster (or disaster disaster-type and most likely COVID-19 and possibly the Russo-Ukrainian War emergency management) and e.g. could be done better next time (something showing notable systematic reflection of peri-disaster issues).the failure to ensure adequate global supplies and equitable distribution of key commodities—including protective gear, diagnostics, medicines, medical devices, and vaccines—especially for LMICs
[...]
the poor enforcement of appropriate levels of biosafety regulations in the lead-up to the pandemic, raising the possibility of a laboratory-related outbreak
The “science” of disaster management is spread across more than 900 different multi-disciplinary journals. The existing evidence-base is overwhelmingly descriptive and lacking in objective, post-disaster evaluations. [1]
Prototyperspective ( talk) 11:34, 9 December 2022 (UTC)However, disasters also have an ‘experiential’ reality, the memory of which creates a critical reflection of the past disaster for better preparedness in the present and for future disasters [2]

This page is a mess. I argue for a complete restructuring of this page. I think a general template could be as follows.
purpose: provide a high level overview of emergency management as a discipline and profession
Outline (general) 1 What em is
2 difference between emergency, disaster, catastrophe
2.1 difference between hazards and disasters
3 phases of emergency management
3.1 preparedness
3.2 mitigation
3.3 response
3.4 recovery
3.5 other terminology (risk reduction, prevention, etc.)
4. profession of EM
5. Discipline of EM
6. EM practices within nations (this would be where the national system section goes, but could also have other relevant information)
7. international EM organizations (this should include UNDRR and information about the Sendai Framework).
I think there is a lot of great informationin on this page, but it really belongs elsewhere or in its own dedicated article (ex. emergency planning ideals)
This article also needs to be less US centric. Not all nations and subnational governments practice EM as the US does, and the article heavily emphisises the US system which is activly misleading.
i think this page should be clearer and simpler. Risky Bussiness ( talk) 17:13, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
See title Risky Bussiness ( talk) 20:22, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
I am considering adding information about disaster management to either this page or as a separate child article, as a project for a university course. Would this be an advisable action? I could not seem to find a current article about natural disaster mitigation, specifically, but am unsure if it is too similar to this article or another, or if it should instead be a subtopic in this article.
To do this, I would describe disproportionate effects of disasters on certain communities, and actions they could take to lessen impacts of the future. Furthermore, I would go through a history of actions intended to mitigate the effects of natural disasters. </ref> Natural Disaster Mitigation : a Scientific and Practical Approach / InterAcademy Panel on International Issues.
