The world has spent the majority of 2020 enduring an unpreceded
crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of this crisis
has been enormous, and the situation has yet to be resolved. It is
still difficult to anticipate when the pandemic will end and how
our lives will have changed after the crisis. Higher educational
institutions (HEIs) have also had to undergo tremendous
transformation, in particular, changing a conventional educational,
teaching, and learning system to a digital and online mode and
cancelling or postponing important events such as graduation and
entrance ceremonies and entrance examinations. In addition, a
number of HEIs have been facing financial constraints due to
reduced enrolment, particularly from overseas. Students have missed
opportunities to meet their family and friends, causing profound
psychosocial impact and stress for all concerned. Simultaneously,
however, the situation has given HEIs a good opportunity to
consider their disaster preparedness, response, and recovery
capacity on campus. Some surveys have highlighted a lack of
preparedness for pandemic and other hazardous risks beyond natural
hazards. Safety issues are a top priority at HEIs because they
bring together a number of students, faculty, and staff. This book
covers the experiences and lessons learned from HEIs in
preparedness, response, and recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic
to prepare for such calamities beyond natural disasters in the
future. The book consists of 15 chapters divided into three major
sections. They highlight the importance of HEIs’ governance
issues in disaster risk management, examine the challenges that
HEIs have faced during the pandemic and the implementation of new
teaching and learning methodologies, and provide innovative
responses and preparedness by HEIs based on science and technology,
respectively.
