California wildfire
In September 2009, wildfires broke out in California. 75 homes were destroyed near Santa Barbara and a fire north of Butte Meadows spread to 1,700 acres. Meanwhile, a fire in Sonoma County grew only 125 acres overnight. Wildfires are often caused by cigarettes, glass, or drought conditions during dry, windy weather which allows fires to easily propagate and spread. The document provides various links to photos and information about the 2009 California wildfires.

Climate Change 2014- Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability
This document summarizes a report on climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability from Working Group 2 of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The summary includes:
1) The report involved over 1,200 authors from over 90 countries and drew on over 12,000 scientific references. It underwent extensive review by over 50,000 comments from 1,700 reviewers from 84 countries.
2) The report finds that climate change poses a serious threat to sustainable development, but there are opportunities to link mitigation, adaptation and development goals through integrated responses. Delaying mitigation actions may reduce future adaptation options.
3) Key risks from climate change include risks to unique ecosystems, extreme weather events, unevenly distributed
FOREST FIRE
The document discusses forest fires, their causes and effects. It notes that forest fires are most commonly caused by environmental factors like lightning or dry conditions, as well as human factors such as shifting cultivation, grazing or intentional fires. Forest fires can have significant negative impacts such as loss of timber and biodiversity, reduced forest cover, soil erosion, and negative health and economic effects on surrounding communities. A case study describes the 1871 Peshtigo Fire in Wisconsin, which destroyed over 1 million acres and caused between 1,200-2,500 deaths, making it one of the worst forest fire disasters in American history.
Wild Fire season
The 2018 wildfire season in California was the deadliest and most destructive on record. Fueled by large amounts of dead trees, high winds, and accidental ignitions from power lines, over 8,500 fires burned nearly 2 million acres. The Camp Fire destroyed the town of Paradise and was the costliest disaster of 2018. Despite prevention efforts, more homes are being built in high risk areas, leading to greater damage. Future strategies include maintaining fuel breaks and placing power lines underground. Federal agencies supported state recovery through debris removal and flexibility for health services.

Climatic hazards of bangladeh
Bangladesh experiences frequent natural disasters like cyclones, tornadoes, floods, and landslides due to its location and climate. Tornadoes occur most often in the hot season from April to June and form from thunderstorms with wind shear and instability. Notable tornado events include the deadly 1989 Daulatpur-Saturia tornado that killed over 1,000 people, making it the deadliest in history. Tornadoes can cause extensive damage to homes, crops, and infrastructure as well as loss of human life. Preparedness through early warning systems and shelters is important to reduce risks from these frequent natural hazards in Bangladesh.
Australian wildfire of 2019 ppt
The 2019-2020 Australian bushfire season, known as the Black Summer, resulted in massive wildfires across multiple states from June 2019 to March 2020. Over 18 million hectares burned and an estimated 1 billion animals were killed. The fires had devastating economic and environmental impacts, including hazardous air quality, potential species extinctions, and over $1 billion in lost tourism revenue. By working cooperatively, firefighters from Australia and other countries were eventually able to contain and extinguish all fires, but not before multiple lives and homes were lost to the massive infernos.
Unit ii flood
Floods occur when bodies of water, such as rivers or coastlines, experience high water levels and overflow onto normally dry land. There are several types of floods, including flash floods which occur rapidly in small streams, riverine floods along larger river systems, and storm surges caused by high winds pushing ocean water inland. Floods can be exacerbated by human activities like farming, deforestation, and urban development which increase runoff. They frequently cause damage to infrastructure and agriculture, spread disease, erode soils, and have long-term economic impacts through loss of income and migration. Major flood-prone regions in India include the Ganga, Brahmaputra, and northeastern river basins.

Rapidly Melting glaciers
Glaciers are melting rapidly due to climate change, threatening water supplies. The Himalayas contain the largest store of glacial ice outside the poles and supply water to over 2 billion people. As glaciers melt, initial floods will be followed by water shortages. Regions heavily dependent on glacial meltwater for agriculture, like parts of South America, are particularly at risk. Wildlife is also threatened by habitat loss as glaciers recede. Water harvesting techniques are helping high-altitude communities adapt to less predictable water availability.

Natural disasters
- Natural disasters are events caused by natural hazards like floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and heat waves. They can cause financial losses, environmental damage, and loss of human life depending on a population's resilience and ability to prevent hazards.
- Common natural disasters include avalanches caused by accumulated snow and ice, earthquakes from seismic activity in the Earth's crust, volcanic eruptions from gas release or thermal contraction in volcanoes, and floods from overflowing bodies of water. Other disasters are droughts, tornadoes, heat waves, blizzards, and potential asteroid or comet impacts.
Global warming ppt
This document discusses global warming and its causes. It explains that global warming is the increase of Earth's average surface temperature due to greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trapping heat in the atmosphere. The primary greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. The document then lists some of the major impacts of global warming, such as sea level rise, more extreme weather, wildfires, health impacts, and damage to coral reefs. It also shows the top five countries by greenhouse gas emissions. Finally, it provides some solutions to global warming like reducing fossil fuel use, planting trees, reducing waste, and conserving water.
Drivers of deforestation and forest degradation
This presentation by Gabrielle Kissinger and Martin Herold was given on 26 November 2012 at a UNFCCC COP18 side-event in Doha, Qatar. They shared findings from a recently published global assessment on the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation, as well as country experiences of dealing with them in a REDD+ context. To support SBSTA considerations on REDD+, and to support ongoing national-level REDD+ planning and implementation, the assessment explores the importance of drivers, the role of drivers in REDD+ policy development and interventions, and in developing forest reference emission levels.
Melting Glaciers
Glaciers are massive sheets of ice that exist in cold climates and can grow or shrink depending on the climate. There are many different types of glaciers including retreating, piedmont, ice fields, hanging, tidewater, and surging glaciers. Most of the world's glaciers are located in Antarctica and Greenland but they can be found on every continent. Glaciers are melting due to the effects of global warming and the heat of the sun. Reducing pollution and stopping global warming can help reduce the melting of glaciers.
Melting Of Glaciers By Smita & Shruti
Glaciers are large masses of snow and ice that accumulate over time under their own weight and slowly flow outward. They are formed from accumulating snow, and their lower layers crack as they move due to their great size and weight. It is normal for glaciers to melt gradually as temperatures rise, but many glaciers today are melting faster than snow can replenish them, reducing their sizes and contributing to rising sea levels. There are different types of glaciers including alpine, continental, and valley glaciers.
Heatwaves, climate change and Melbourne
In this presentation I focus on how climate change, through rising temperatures and heatwaves, is already impacting the urban and social environment in Melbourne. It is a problem we need to address now, at all levels of Government, business and individual action.
Effects of melting glaciers
Glacial melting contributes significantly to various global issues. As glaciers shrink due to climate change, they no longer help regulate the planet's temperature and provide fresh water. This leads to fresh water shortages, reduced agricultural production, electricity shortages from lack of hydroelectric power, excessive flooding, sea level rise that displaces coastal communities and destroys habitats, and the release of toxic pollutants that were stored in glacial ice. If glacial melting continues unabated, its effects will further exacerbate climate change in a dangerous feedback loop.
flood
The document discusses different types of floods including coastal, riverine, and surface floods. It provides details on the causes of flooding in India such as heavy rainfall, cyclone, inadequate drainage, and deforestation. The impacts of floods include loss of lives and property, loss of livelihoods, decreased economic growth, and long-term psychological effects.
Project on natural calamities
Natural calamities such as floods, droughts, cyclones and earthquakes have caused widespread damage in India. While natural disasters cannot be prevented, precautions can be taken to minimize their impact. At different levels of society, precautionary measures like strengthening disaster management, prohibiting unsafe construction, preserving the environment, and educating people can help reduce loss of life and property from natural disasters. The document then provides four article options of varying lengths on natural calamities in India and their management.
Management of natural resources ppt
This document discusses natural resources and their management. It covers renewable and non-renewable resources, the 3 R's for environmental conservation, and the need for proper management of resources. Specific sections cover forests, wildlife, water resources including dams and water harvesting, and coal and petroleum. The key points are that natural resources require judicious management to avoid overuse and ensure availability for future generations given population and development pressures.
Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina caused widespread damage and flooding in New Orleans in August 2005. It breached levees protecting the city, leaving 80% underwater. The storm and subsequent flooding killed over 1,700 people and displaced hundreds of thousands of residents. Repairing the broken levees and pumping out the floodwaters took many months. The humanitarian and economic impacts of the disaster were immense and long-lasting.
Floods management
The document discusses flood management in India. It outlines the significance of flood management, describing various types of floods and their causes. It notes that India is highly vulnerable to floods, which can have devastating effects. The document then covers India's flood management plan, including forecasting, mitigation efforts, and case studies. Structural measures like dams and non-structural measures like insurance and education are discussed.
San Diego Wildfires
The document discusses wildfires that occurred in San Diego County in October 2006. It provides details on the causes of the fires such as drought, hot weather, strong winds and some human factors like damaged power lines, arson and accidental fires from matches. It lists several major fires, including the Witch Creek Fire that destroyed over 1,000 homes and burned nearly 198,000 acres. The document concludes with recommendations to change fire suppression policies, alter community design in high risk wildfire areas, and increase education to prevent human-caused fires.
