On July 16, 2021 ICLR conducted a Friday Forum webinar titled 'Edmonton's approach to stormwater flood management', led by Susan Ancel, Director of One Water Planning for EPCOR Water Services in Edmonton, Alberta. EPCOR has developed a $1.6 billion Stormwater Integrated Resource Plan (SIRP) to mitigate the impacts of flooding in the community. SIRP envisions all stakeholders – citizens, businesses, industry, the City of Edmonton and EPCOR working together to build a flood-resilient future. The goal is to Slow, Move, Secure, Predict and Respond to flooding events to prevent or reduce the impact. EPCOR’s planned flood mitigations projects will take 20 years to complete. The types of projects that are included in SIRP include dry ponds, low impact development, tunnels, combined sewer separation, outfall control gates, inflow/infiltration reduction, building flood proofing, increased sensors and automatic controls and emergency response equipment. The plan was developed through consultation with Climate Change Adaptation, Insurance and Financial sector groups across North America.
Susan Ancel is the Director of One Water Planning for EPCOR Water Services in Edmonton, Alberta. In her prior role, she was Director of Stormwater Strategies, where she was responsible for developing an Integrated Resource Plan for flood mitigation that considered capital and operational risk mitigation planning, as well as the interrelationships between utilities, insurance, disaster response agencies and the public. Prior to her Stormwater Strategies role she was the Director of Water Distribution and Transmission for EPCOR. Susan is a Mechanical engineer with over 30 years’ experience with the municipal utility sector. She has also served on numerous industry committees including the Board of Directors for the Geospatial Information Technology Association (GITA) from 2001 to 2007 and was President of GITA in 2006. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for Canadian Water Network.

A. Using the attached “After Action Report Survey Template,” create an after action report (AAR) by doing the following:1. Discuss the plans, procedures, or other documents that were in place before the disaster.
Prevention Identify and minimize the risks posed by the building, its equipment and fittings, and the natural hazards of the area.
• Carry out a building inspection and alter factors which constitute a potential hazard.
• Establish routine housekeeping and maintenance measures to withstand disaster in buildings and surrounding areas.
• Install automatic fire detection and extinguishing systems, and water-sensing alarms.
• Take special precautions during unusual periods of increased risk, such as building renovation.
• Make special arrangements to ensure the safety of library or archival material when exhibited.
• Provide security copies of vital records such as collection inventories, and store these off-site.2. Summarize what occurred during the response in the scenario.: (e.g., disaster recovery plan, backup plans etc.) Include specific details about the documents, including completeness.

A disaster such as,
Earthquakes are seismic events where enormous amounts of energy are released, creating seismic waves. Earthquakes cause the following:
• Shaking and ground rupture
• Landslides and avalanches
• Tsunamis
• Soil liquefaction
• Floods
• Fires
These effects can linger for some time after the earthquake is over, hampering recovery efforts. Several months after the earth rumblings that worried the IT and research departments, there was an earthquake mirroring the 1905 event, registering 7.8 on the Richter scale, and lasting approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute for the primary quake, with subsequent aftershocks of varying strengths occurring for the next 96 hours. Floods and fires persisted for weeks. The resulting damage can be categorized as somewhere between severe and catastrophic. The casualty count, for both the local community and the organization was 50%, or approximately 50,000 deaths for the city of Berkeley and 31 deaths for LPHG.

Delivering Efficiency and Customer Satisfaction to Claims and Underwriting wi...Precisely
Weather data is available everywhere, but in many cases, insurers still rely on manual intervention and visual review to assess its effect on claims and locations.
How can carriers take advantage of more accurate and timely weather data while reducing the reliance on inefficient manual claims processes?
For those situations where a manual, visual review is necessary, visualization of Dynamic Weather data must be simple, intuitive, and deliver insight and context typically not available from reviewing the data itself. Done correctly, visualization will accelerate data democratization and analytics so that more accurate, data-driven insights are available to all users throughout an organization.
Watch this webinar on-demand to:
• See examples of Dynamic Weather data being combined and visualized, along with aerial imagery and spatial data assets, enhancing existing claims and underwriting processes
• Hear about ways to manage claim adjuster workload and improve claim assignment efficiency
• Manage drivetimes and prioritize claim resource allocations in real-time
Automated Catastrophic Events Geographic data load using FME PlatformConsortech
Guy Carpenter & Company, LLC is a leading global risk and reinsurance solutions provider with over $1B in revenues. Guy Carpenter needed automation around loading real-time catastrophic events data feeds such as hurricanes, hail, tornados, wind, floods, wildfires and earthquakes from across the globe. The feeds are received in various source formats such as .SHP, KML, CSV and JSON/GeoJSON from different APIs provided by various vendors. Guy Carpenter used the FME Data Integration Platform to develop complex automated data load pipelines to extract, transform and load all of these real-time data events into our proprietary analytics platform. Multiple scheduled jobs are configured in FME to run these transformations with high frequency, daily, to load vector and raster format data. Once the data is loaded into the target database, the users can monitor these catastrophic events in an easy to use workflow in our application. A breakdown of exposures by severity enables users to quickly view the full extent of the event and then easily drill into specific severities. The map layers are then used to estimate the portfolio exposure.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Top Mistakes Final Inspection/IG Audit results in de-obligation due to insufficient documentation Rental costs determined unreasonable due to lack of documentation (obtain quotes from different vendors to determine reasonableness). Damage determined to be ineligible due to lack of maintenance records Upgrades due to codes and standards are requested but no examples of previous code enforcement are demonstrated No notification given to the state in regards to cost overruns (much safer to ask for permission than forgiveness). Change in scope of work without improved project request and approval. Piggy Back contracts are considered “sole source” contracts according to the Federal Bid laws.

Best Practices Maintenance Records Ensure that maintenance records (roads, bridges, buildings, etc.) are up to date and available for review Deferred maintenance or damage not incurred as a result of a non-declared event is ineligible for PA funding. Get to know your state Public Assistance Staff Familiarize yourself with the processes and requirements of the state in order to streamline the funding and closure process Documentation of work completed Audit proof yourself with appropriate documentation Maintain all documentation (contracts, invoices, time and attendance records, equipment usage records, etc) for a minimum of 3 years after closure for the disaster Contracting Pre-event debris removal contract Familiarize yourself with Federal Bid Laws Reasonable Costs Ensure that costs are not inflated simply due to declaration Ensure you get the “biggest bang for your buck” by getting multiple quotes on materials, rental equipment, etc. Work with your FEMA/State PAC to formulate in place costs for items such as fill dirt, gravel, etc. Ensure that Pre-Event procedures (procurement, standards of work, overtime policies, etc.) match post event procedures Overtime policies written specifically for disaster events are not eligible for reimbursement Upgrades due to codes and standards must: Be adopted by the government prior to the event Must have been enforced during non-disaster times
