Engaging Isolated Communities in Disaster Preparation and Communication in the Philippines
暫譯: 在菲律賓災害準備與溝通中吸引孤立社區

Dennis John F. Sumaylo is a faculty member of the BA Communication and Media Arts program under the Department of Humanities, University of the Philippines Mindanao. He finished his PhD in Communication Studies at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. His research interest is in disaster risk communication with focus on engaging communities living in spatial isolation experiencing socio-economic inequalities. He believes that resiliency in facing natural calamities should not be limited to those who have access to information. By examining experiences of isolated communities, he hopes to design multimodal learning tools that can be used for pre-disaster communication efforts and building community resiliency. His interest extends into photography and auditory art. His last participatory multi-sensorial exhibition explored the use of images, sound, and other cues to recreate the emotions experienced in the streets of Davao City, Philippines. He hoped that these cues will trigger people's sense of storytelling, even their street behaviour, in an enclosed art exhibition setting.

丹尼斯·約翰·F·蘇馬伊洛（Dennis John F. Sumaylo）是菲律賓大學棉蘭老島校區人文學系BA傳播與媒體藝術課程的教職員。他在澳大利亞墨爾本的RMIT大學獲得了傳播研究的博士學位。他的研究興趣集中在災害風險傳播，特別是與生活在空間孤立中並面臨社會經濟不平等的社區互動。他認為，面對自然災害的韌性不應僅限於那些能夠獲取資訊的人。通過研究孤立社區的經驗，他希望設計出多模態學習工具，以用於災前的傳播工作和建立社區韌性。他的興趣還延伸到攝影和聽覺藝術。他最近參與的多感官展覽探討了使用影像、聲音和其他線索來重現菲律賓達沃市街頭所經歷的情感。他希望這些線索能夠喚起人們的敘事感，甚至是他們在封閉藝術展覽環境中的街頭行為。
