The course will focus on both physical hazard processes and risk assessment methods like probability mapping.
basic concept of hazard disaster readiness and risk reduction.pptxKIPAIZAGABAWA1
This document defines hazards and classifies them into different types. It discusses natural hazards like earthquakes and floods that arise from natural processes. Quasi-natural hazards arise from interactions between nature and humans, like desertification. Technological or human-made hazards directly result from human activities, such as toxic chemicals or radiation. The document also outlines common long-term impacts of natural hazards, including physical, psychological, socio-cultural, economic, environmental, and biological impacts.
Here are the answers to your questions:
1. An earthquake is a shaking or trembling of the earth that is caused by the breaking and shifting of rock beneath the earth's surface. Earthquakes can cause buildings and bridges to collapse and trigger other hazards like landslides, tsunamis or volcanic eruptions.
2. The different types of earthquake hazards include:
- Ground shaking - The sudden shaking and movement of the ground during an earthquake is the main cause of damage and can destroy buildings and infrastructure. The severity of ground shaking depends on the magnitude of the earthquake, the distance from the epicenter and the local geology.
- Surface faulting - Some earthquakes may cause visible cracks or breaks in the ground
HAZARDS, VULNERABILTY AND DISASTER RISKS.pptsrajece
This document defines key terms related to hazards, vulnerability, disaster risk, and different types of disasters. It defines a disaster as an event that causes damage, disruption, loss of life or health on a scale that requires outside assistance. A hazard is any phenomenon that can cause harm, while vulnerability refers to characteristics that make something susceptible to hazards. Risk is a measure of expected losses from an event. Natural disasters are divided into geological, hydrological, meteorological, and space-related events, while man-made disasters include sociological, technological and hazardous materials incidents. Specific examples like earthquakes and landslides are also explained.
The document discusses natural disasters and examines whether they are truly natural or have human influences. It provides examples of different types of natural disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. While the forces causing them are natural, the impact is influenced by human activities. A key example is the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that killed over 250,000 people. Though caused by an earthquake, the death toll was exacerbated by human factors like living in vulnerable coastal areas and lack of warning systems. The document argues we should consider vulnerabilities created by poverty or development when analyzing disaster impacts and responses.
This lecture discusses hazards, earthquakes, and earthquake measurement scales. It introduces the Richter scale and Modified Mercalli Intensity scale for measuring earthquakes. Key concepts covered include defining hazards, factors that influence vulnerability, common features of hazards, and hazards associated with earthquakes such as ground motion, faulting, aftershocks, fires, landslides, and tsunamis.
We know how people should react in a crisis, but how do they really—and why? Why do people continue to live in high-risk areas? Why don’t people prepare for disasters or take emergency measures when they should? All of us have been confounded by these questions at some point. Dr. Matthew “Disaster Man” Davis delves into the psychology of disasters: how people view their risk, how they respond during and after crises, the obstacles to preparedness and action, and what we can do to factor these realities into our planning.
Here one will know the detail concepts of Hazards and Disaster, their characteristics, types, identification, nature with mechanisms of occurence like risks and vulnerable factors, their types- natural disaster and human and also their characteristics of hazards and disaster

Global warming is caused by increased greenhouse gas emissions from human activities like burning fossil fuels. If left unaddressed, it will have severe consequences including rising sea levels that flood coastal areas, more frequent extreme weather events, species extinction, and reduced agricultural yields. The vast majority of scientists agree that climate change poses a major threat. Adapting to its impacts and transitioning to renewable energy are necessary to avoid its worst effects and ensure economic and environmental sustainability. Collective global action is urgently needed to facilitate this transition and mitigate the risks of climate change.
This document defines key concepts related to disaster risk, including how views of disasters have changed over time. It discusses how disasters were once seen as "Acts of God" but are now understood as resulting from interactions between natural hazards and human factors that influence vulnerability. The contemporary view sees disaster as a function of hazard occurrence, elements at risk, their vulnerability, and capacity to manage impacts. Disaster risk is represented by the equation of vulnerability x hazard/capacity. Hazards are defined as events that can cause harm, while risk considers the likelihood of hazards causing losses.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

16. What can you do with this
information?
• Reduce risk through:
– Mitigation
– Preparedness
– Warning strategies
17. What do you already know about
natural hazards in the
United States?
• Think about:
– Where hurricanes strike
– Where tornados occur
– Flood zones
– Seismic zones
– Coastal erosion
• Hazard-prone areas are generally well
known, but details often lacking
18. Natural Hazards
• Natural processes or events that existed
throughout Earth history, but have only
become “hazardous” when they have
negative impact on humans
• To put things in perspective, think of many
other natural processes or events that are not
“hazardous”
19. Anthropocentric Perspective
• Natural processes only called “hazardous”
when they threaten human life, health, or
interests, either directly or indirectly
• Actually has lead to “adversarial” style of
hazard management—natural processes are
seen as the “enemy” and efforts are made to
manipulate the environment into submission
20. Rapid Onset Hazards
• Catastrophic events
• Strike quickly but with devastating
consequences
• Large comet or meteorite impact
• Also earthquakes, flash floods, sudden
windstorms
21. Other end of time spectrum:
• Droughts can last decades
• Worldwide, droughts are the most
devastating natural hazard because of long
duration and large area affected
22. Technological Hazards
• Exposure to naturally occurring hazardous
substances
• Examples: radon, mercury, asbestos fibers,
coal dust
• Usually through use of these substances in
our built environment
23. Anthropogenic Hazards
• Human generated
• Pollution and degradation of the natural
environment
• Examples: acid rain, contamination of
surface and ground water, depletion of
ozone layer, global warming
24. Primary Effects
• Result from the event itself
• Water damage from a flood
• Wind damage caused by a cyclone
• Collapse of a building caused by ground
motion during an earthquake
25. Secondary Effects
• Result from hazardous processes associated
with, but not directly caused by, the main event
• Forest fires sparked by lava flows
• House fires caused by gas lines breaking during an
earthquake
• Disruption of water and sewage services as a
result of a flood
• Flood from dam failure during earthquake or
intense rains
26. Tertiary (and higher order) Effects
• Long term or even permanent changes
• Loss of wildlife habitat or “permanent”
changes in a river channel during a flood
• Regional or global climatic changes and
resulting crop losses after major volcanic
eruption
• Changes in topography or land elevation as
a result of an earthquake (1964 Alaska EQ)
27. How many people impacted?
• Last two decades of 20th Century:
• 3 million deaths world wide
• 800 million people suffered adverse effects
such as loss of property or health
28. Numbers of Events (Hazards)
• United Nations estimate, in the 1990’s
• Landslides—tens of thousands
• Earthquakes—tens of thousands
• Thunderstorms—1 million
• Floods—100,000
• Plus many thousands of tropical storms,
hurricanes, tsunamis, droughts, volcanic
eruptions
29. Cost of Natural Hazards
• World Bank estimate, in the USA:
• $40 Billion per year in physical damage
• Windstorms, floods, earthquakes alone cost
the USA $18 million per day
• What do you think is the costliest natural
hazard in the southeastern USA?
30. Vulnerability
• Status of people and property in an area
subject to hazards
• Depends on type(s) of hazards as well as
type of development
31. Vulnerability depends on:
• Obviously, living in a hazardous area
• Population density
• Scientific understanding of the area
• Public education and hazard awareness
• Early warning system
• Communication
• Emergency personnel
• Building codes
• Cultural factors—people’s response to warnings
32. Awful Truth
• Almost no one dies in the USA from
hurricanes, but property damage is extreme
• Tens or hundreds of thousands may die in
Bangladesh from a hurricane, but property
damage low
• However, besides the disparity in deaths,
the relative value of monetary losses is
much higher in developing nations
33. Poverty vs. Affluence
• Both can cause pressures on environment
• Extensive deforestation for fuel wood of
Haiti or lands bordering the Sahara desert
• Extensive development around San
Francisco Bay on filled land susceptible to
liquefaction during an earthquake
34. Human intervention can increase
vulnerability
• 1. Habitation of lands susceptible to hazards
(floodplains or deltas)
• 2. Increasing the severity or frequency of natural
hazards (agriculture leading to increased soil
erosion, groundwater withdrawal leading to
subsidence, levees increasing flood levels, global
climate changes leading to increased intensity and
frequency of hurricanes)
35. Hazard Assessment
• Where
• Magnitude
• Frequency
• Likely effects of occurrence
• Provide information to planners and
decision makers
• Usually means a map or maps
39. A Probability Map. Shows areas
with highest probability of
exceeding a certain magnitude of
ground motion during an EQ
40. Seismic risk map for USA
shows expected damage for
maximum EQ intensity. Map
does not indicate frequency.
41. Hazard Assessment Uses
• Decisions about evacuation or contingency
funding
• Decisions concerning levels of response and
readiness
• Land use and zoning
• Building codes
• Scientists use for early alerts and further
study
42. Risk Assessment
• Incorporates expected (predicted) economic
losses, injuries and deaths, and loss of
functioning of services
• Key is establishing the probability that a
hazardous event of a particular magnitude
will occur within a given time period
43. Social and Economic Aspects of Risk
• Locations of buildings, facilities, and
emergency systems in the community
• Their potential exposure to the physical
effects of the hazardous situation or event
• Vulnerability—potential loss of life, injury,
or loss in value—when subjected to those
physical effects
44. Probability and Risk
• Being exposed to earthquake hazards by
living in Southern California for seven
months carries the same risk of death as:
• Smoking 1.4 cigarettes
• Drinking 0.5 liters of wine
• Having a single chest X-ray
• All increase chance of death by 1 in a million
45. Another way to express risk
• In terms of cost
• Dollar value of damages
• Expected deaths and injuries
• Both methods help decision makers and
scientists compare and evaluate hazards, set
priorities, and decide where to focus
attention and resources
46. Goals of this course
• Increase awareness of natural hazards
• To recognize risks from natural hazards
• Identify specific locations and things at risk
• Understand management/policy/political
decisions (and be skeptical)
• Understand losses from hazards beyond $$
• Scientists must play greater role
