Abstract

The occurrence of natural disasters has become increasingly prevalent worldwide, prompting a heightened focus on readiness and response strategies for future events. This study aimed to explore the importance of skills development and training in disaster management from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. The research included a thorough literature review of disaster management models, as well as an analysis of empirical studies conducted in Mozambique and Japan. Additionally, the literature underscores the repercussions of natural disasters on the susceptibilities of both developed and developing nations. The findings of this study indicate that skills development plays a crucial role in current disaster management frameworks, such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) and the Capability Approach model. Additionally, the study highlights various skills development and training initiatives present in Japan's disaster management practices and policies, as well as in Mozambique's disaster management projects.
