The escalating crisis of global food security demands technological interventions to reduce food loss and food waste. This review explores the technological advancements in edible coating using natural biopolymers as a sustainable solution to combat both quantitative spoilage and qualitative degradation in the food supply chain. We delve into edible coating techniques for extending food shelf life in the coating material standpoint: polysaccharide, protein, and lipid, which are natural biopolymer. Furthermore, the review highlights the transfor...

Abstracting the gap between awareness and action: the Hazard Literacy Framework (HLF) for disaster risk reduction in the Global South

https://doi.org/10.63737/jhl.25.0035
This paper addresses the much-needed but mostly overlooked awareness-action gap in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in developing countries, stressing the limits of traditional, knowledge-focused strategies. Here, we introduce the Hazard Literacy Framework (HLF), a new conceptual framework that reconceptualizes hazard literacy as a multi-dimensional continuum along four facets: cognitive (knowledge), affective (emotional connection), communicative (access to information and trust), and behavioral (engaging in preparedness). The HLF development was...

https://doi.org/10.63737/jhl.25.0023
This study aims to develop and validate a skill-based framework for disaster literacy by integrating field insights from disaster-affected populations with expert feedback from international disaster professionals. In the first phase, a set of 33 core disaster literacy skills was identified through qualitative interviews with 20 earthquake survivors and 19 firefighters who participated in search and rescue operations following the 2023 Turkey earthquakes. The skills were thematically categorized into three disaster phases: pre-disaster, during-...

https://doi.org/10.63737/jhl.25.0036
Over the past century, industrial development has led to severe environmental problems, including the contamination of wastewater (such as from rivers and seas) with dissolved heavy metals (e.g., Pb2+ and Cd2+), which pose serious health risks. To remove these heavy metals, heterogeneous solid-state adsorbents, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted significant attention due to their porous extended structures, strong binding sites, ease of separation from water, and non-toxic, stable nature. In this work, we functionalized MOF-...

https://doi.org/10.63737/jhl.25.0028
This article explores children’s experiences, knowledge, and altruistic behaviors in the COVID-19 pandemic. Our team sought to answer the following research questions: What did children do to help others during the pandemic? Who did they assist? Why were they motivated to act? We compiled and coded 115 news articles focused on U.S. children’s actions in the pandemic. Our analyses identified eight types of altruistic behaviors that children engaged in, which we grouped into two categories. The first category encompassed children providing ma...

Disaster preparedness paradox: Evidence of lower public readiness for extreme rainfall compared to super tropical cyclones in Hong Kong

J. Hazard Lit. 2025;1(3):e18
https://doi.org/10.63737/jhl.25.0033
As anthropogenic climate change intensifies hydro-meteorological hazards, understanding public preparedness is critical for resilience. This study investigates a pivotal yet understudied question: whether the public prepares differently for large-scale, forecasted super tropical cyclones versus sudden-onset, hyper-localized extreme rainfall. Through a survey of 502 Hong Kong residents following two major hazard events in 2023, the study uncovers a significant “preparedness paradox.” Despite higher perceived personal risk from extreme rainfa...
