Safe School Toolkit and Plan Nepal (Piloting Book)DPNet
This document provides an introduction and overview of a safe school toolkit developed by Plan International Nepal. The toolkit aims to help those involved in assessing, monitoring and evaluating safe schools by outlining the key pillars of safe school infrastructure, disaster management, and risk reduction education. It was created based on learning from Nepal's policy context, Plan Nepal's safe school projects, and practices in the education sector. The toolkit is intended as a reference for developing safe school plans and frameworks, with the understanding that it will be refined over time based on government policies and guidelines related to safe schools.
This training guideline is for a school-based disaster risk reduction training organized by a project in partnership with various organizations aimed at mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into school environments and developing disaster-resilient schools. The training aims to build awareness and capacity of teachers, students, and parents on disaster risk reduction and minimize damage to schools from disasters. It will be conducted in schools and utilize existing school disaster management committees and networks of the partner organizations to manage and monitor activities. The training will cover key concepts, risk assessment methods, and development of school-level disaster risk reduction and response plans to support national efforts for safe schools.

Ecological sanitation is an alternative approach to managing human excreta that aims to be more sustainable than current chemical-intensive practices. It involves separating solid and liquid waste to later use as fertilizer. Urine can be diluted and used as fertilizer after a few weeks, while feces decomposes for 8-12 months before use. Experiments show crops like maize, banana, and radish grow larger when fertilized with human urine compared to chemical fertilizers or no fertilizer. Ecological sanitation toilets are designed to safely collect and store excreta for later use, reducing pollution, illness, and reliance on chemical fertilizers.

Branch: An interactive, web-based tool for building decision tree classifiersBenjamin Good
A crucial task in modern biology is the prediction of complex phenotypes, such as breast cancer prognosis, from genome-wide measurements. Machine learning algorithms can sometimes infer predictive patterns, but there is rarely enough data to train and test them effectively and the patterns that they identify are often expressed in forms (e.g. support vector machines, neural networks, random forests composed of 10s of thousands of trees) that are highly difficult to understand. In addition, it is generally unclear how to include prior knowledge in the course of their construction.
Decision trees provide an intuitive visual form that can capture complex interactions between multiple variables. Effective methods exist for inferring decision trees automatically but it has been shown that these techniques can be improved upon via the manual interventions of experts. Here, we introduce Branch, a new Web-based tool for the interactive construction of decision trees from genomic datasets. Branch offers the ability to: (1) upload and share datasets intended for classification tasks (in progress), (2) construct decision trees by manually selecting features such as genes for a gene expression dataset, (3) collaboratively edit decision trees, (4) create feature functions that aggregate content from multiple independent features into single decision nodes (e.g. pathways) and (5) evaluate decision tree classifiers in terms of precision and recall. The tool is optimized for genomic use cases through the inclusion of gene and pathway-based search functions.
Branch enables expert biologists to easily engage directly with high-throughput datasets without the need for a team of bioinformaticians. The tree building process allows researchers to rapidly test hypotheses about interactions between biological variables and phenotypes in ways that would otherwise require extensive computational sophistication. In so doing, this tool can both inform biological research and help to produce more accurate, more meaningful classifiers.
A prototype of Branch is available at http://biobranch.org/

The document discusses the relationship between development and disaster risk reduction. It explains that development can both increase and decrease vulnerability to disasters, and that disasters can either provide opportunities for development or set back development. It advocates for a people-centered approach to development that reduces vulnerability through building resilience, livelihoods, and local capacities. Key strategies discussed include prioritizing adaptation efforts, integrating adaptation into development plans, strengthening local capacities, and leveraging disaster prevention to promote community-based adaptation.
A disaster is defined as any event, natural or man-made, that threatens lives and property and disrupts normal life. Disasters exceed the ability of affected communities and governments to cope. Hazards threaten people, structures, and assets and can cause disasters. Vulnerability is the likelihood of damage from a hazard due to factors like proximity and susceptibility. Risk is the probability of consequences from hazards people are exposed to. Disaster management involves coordination across organizations in preparedness, response, and recovery phases of disasters to reduce risks and improve capacity to handle disasters.
The document discusses the relationship between development and disasters. It notes that development can both increase and decrease vulnerability to disasters. Development can increase vulnerability by encouraging population growth in hazardous areas and damaging the environment. However, development can also reduce vulnerability through infrastructure like earthquake-resistant buildings. While disasters can disrupt development, they can also provide opportunities for rebuilding safer structures and improving systems. Overall, the document examines how development and disasters intersect and influence each other in both positive and negative ways.
This document discusses how climate change is disproportionately impacting poor women in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal. Field research found that women in these countries are struggling to protect their livelihoods, assets, housing, and food security from increasing floods, droughts, heatwaves, and other climate-related disasters. While women are not passive victims, their limited resources, weak information networks, and lack of support constrain their ability to adapt. The evidence suggests women have started adapting in small ways like finding safer places to live and store goods during floods. However, larger investments and policy support are needed to make their livelihoods more resilient and sustainable over the long term. The document calls for targeted funding for poor women through climate change adaptation
This report summarizes interviews conducted with children in Nepal about the impacts of climate change on their lives. It finds that climate change is already affecting vulnerable communities through increased floods, landslides and irregular weather. Children interviewed in rural, mountain and urban areas of Nepal expressed experiencing impacts on their families' livelihoods, health, education, and access to food and water. They feel vulnerable but want support to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change. The report recommends ensuring children's rights to participation in climate change discussions and decisions that affect their lives.
The document summarizes a panel discussion held by the Association of Community Radio Broadcasters Nepal (ACORAB) on disaster risk reduction and community radio. Over 135 representatives from community radio stations across Nepal attended. The objective was to sensitize stations on DRR issues so they can effectively address them. A panel of experts presented on the status of disasters in Nepal, community-level DRR initiatives, and how media can contribute to DRR. Participants discussed how community radios and organizations like DPNet and Red Cross can collaborate more on DRR. Examples were shared of radios informing communities during disasters and helping victims, and calls were made to replicate such initiatives for greater impact. The discussion aimed to help community radio stations strategize

1) The document discusses a school building reconstruction project in Sunsari district to improve earthquake safety and security.
2) The project involved renovating existing buildings and constructing new earthquake-resistant buildings at Bhagawati Secondary School in Inaruwa-1 as a demonstration model.
3) Key aspects of the new building construction included two rooms measuring 16 feet by 23 feet, a total height of 49 feet, and features like railings and ramps to improve accessibility.
- Small scale mitigation works were carried out in Sunsari district to address drinking water problems experienced by communities during the monsoon season.
- A total of 28 structures such as tube wells were constructed across multiple locations in consultation with locally formed disaster management committees.
- The structures were 5 meters in height and designed based on discussions with the communities about where flooding typically occurred and input from local technicians.
- Community members contributed through provision of labor and materials while funds were also received from DIPECHO and local government sources to complete the projects.
1) Rambati, a woman from Karkhana Tole village in Sunsari, Nepal, recalls a devastating flood in 1990 when she had just given birth and had to stay in a dangling bed for two days without much food.
2) The village is prone to frequent flooding and other disasters that damage homes and crops. There was no disaster management system previously.
3) With support from a local NGO, the community formed a disaster management committee and began collecting "fistfuls of rice" daily to stockpile food for emergencies. Rambati is an active participant in these efforts.
The community initially had misunderstandings about the relief distribution from PACT Nepal, with people saying PACT would provide each household Rs. 50,000 and a bag of grain. However, after regular meetings between PACT staff and the community to explain PACT's objectives and that it does not provide direct cash relief, the community now understands PACT's role is to build disaster resilience, not provide cash. The community disaster management committee now clarifies any issues themselves. Regular interaction through the community listening center helped address the initial challenges around project implementation.
1) A total of 2,600 meters of bioengineering riverbank protection works were completed in Bahardar tole of Babiya-8, Sunsari, exceeding the original plan of 1,000 meters due to community demand.
2) The works provided protection to 58 households from annual flooding and erosion of the Sunkoshi River, allowing families to invest in livelihoods without risk of loss of property.
3) The project was implemented through cooperation between the local development committee, disaster management office, and local construction committee with technical support from NGO partners and voluntary labor from the community.
The document summarizes an orientation program on disaster management for children in Nepal. It discusses forming child clubs in 7 communities to raise awareness about disaster preparedness and management among children. The 3-day program educated over 475 children on disaster types, reducing risks, and children's roles and rights during disasters. It resulted in the creation of 7 child club committees to discuss disasters and mobilize awareness campaigns under the guidance of Disaster Management Committees.
1. A 1-day orientation was held for masons on earthquake safety day to train them on constructing safe buildings.
2. The objectives were to inform masons about earthquake safety day, make them aware of building safely, and create an environment for cooperation in safe construction.
3. A total of 30 masons from 3 locations participated and were committed to start constructing earthquake-resistant buildings and follow building codes and standards.
1. The document outlines minimum standards for education in emergencies, protracted crises, and early recovery. It aims to ensure the right to education for all during humanitarian crises.
2. The Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) developed the standards through a collaborative process, drawing on the expertise of over 20 organizations.
3. The standards cover key areas like community participation, assessment, education policy and coordination to help advocate for, support and implement education during humanitarian emergencies. INEE welcomes new members to help advance these goals.
The project has contributed to achieving the priority actions of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) in several ways. It established Disaster Preparedness Committees (DPCs) in six communities to identify risks and develop early warning systems. Financial transparency was maintained through social audits. Emergency funds helped communities conduct preparedness activities. Linking community and village development committee disaster plans helped secure resources. The project identified physical, attitudinal and social risks through vulnerability assessments. Early warning information from the meteorology department was disseminated through local messengers and radio. Simulations helped build knowledge of evacuation procedures.
The document provides context about a cost-benefit analysis conducted for a disaster risk reduction project in Kailali, Nepal. It describes the project, called the Kailali Disaster Risk Reduction Initiative (KDRRI), which was implemented from 2007-2009 in communities vulnerable to flooding. The analysis had two goals: 1) to assess the cost-effectiveness of the KDRRI project and 2) to create a generalizable methodology for evaluating community-based disaster risk reduction projects. Data was collected through surveys and interviews and analyzed using a mathematical model. The analysis found benefit-cost ratios greater than one, indicating the economic benefits of the project exceeded the costs. Specifically, the ratio was estimated to be 3.49, meaning
The document discusses disaster management in Nepal, with a focus on community-based approaches.
Key points:
- Nepal is vulnerable to various natural hazards like floods, landslides, droughts, and earthquakes due to its geology, topography, and climate. Disasters disproportionately impact the poor.
- A livelihood-centered approach to disaster management aims to strengthen communities' resilience by supporting their livelihoods and reducing vulnerabilities. This includes activities like hazard mapping, early warning systems, and diversifying income sources.
- The document outlines Nepal's practical experience with community-based disaster management planning and implementation. Priority areas are selected and community disaster plans developed and linked to development planning.
