3. INNOVATION
• FLEXIBLER AN UMBRELLA THAT STANDS
• DESIGNERS: LIANG-HOCK POH & MING-HUNG LIN
• ABOUT: UMBRELLA IS ONE OF THE IMPORTANT INVENTION
FOR HUMAN. BUT THIS INNOVATION IS ABOUT THAT THE
UMBRELLA HANDLE BENDS AND CAN BE USED IN DIFFERENT
POSITIONS, IT RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL FORM WHEN NEEDED.
WE CAN USE IT IN DIFFERENT SITUATION. YOU CAN
SEE THIS DIFFERENT INNOVATION.
4. YOU CAN HANG UP IT
EVERYWHERE; CAUSE ITS HANDLE

• A DISASTER IS A SERIOUS DISRUPTION OF THE FUNCTIONING
OF A COMMUNITY OR A SOCIETY INVOLVING WIDESPREAD
HUMAN, MATERIAL, ECONOMIC OR ENVIRONMENTAL LOSSES

COMMUNITY OR SOCIETY TO COPE USING ITS OWN
RESOURCES.
• THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF DISASTERS.
1. NATURAL DISASTER
2. HUMAN MADE DISASTER

• HURRICANE SANDY (ALSO KNOWN AS SUPERSTORM SANDY) WAS THE
MOST DESTRUCTIVE HURRICANE OF THE 2012 ATLANTIC HURRICANE
SEASON. SANDY MADE LANDFALL IN SOUTHERN NEW JERSEYAND
BECAME INCREDIBLE IN ITS SIZE AND POWER. IT WAS A LARGE STORM
WITH VIOLENT GUSTS AND STORM SURGES THAT CAUSED MAJOR
FLOODING AND LEFT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ALONG THE EAST COAST

12. * HUMAN MADE DISASTER
• HUMAN-INSTIGATED DISASTERS ARE THE CONSEQUENCE OF
TECHNOLOGICAL HAZARDS. EXAMPLES INCLUDE STAMPEDES,
FIRES, TRANSPORT ACCIDENTS, INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS, OIL
SPILLS AND NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS/RADIATION. WAR AND
DELIBERATE ATTACKS MAY ALSO BE PUT IN THIS CATEGORY. AS
WITH NATURAL HAZARDS, MAN-MADE HAZARDS ARE EVENTS
THAT HAVE NOT HAPPENED—FOR INSTANCE, TERRORISM.
MAN-MADE DISASTERS ARE EXAMPLES OF SPECIFIC CASES
WHERE MAN-MADE HAZARDS HAVE BECOME REALITY IN AN
EVENT.
