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
A key concept on the subject DRRR. This entails the definition of vulnerability, types of vulnerability and the key concepts of vulnerability. A summary definition of risk and hazard are also observable.
Vulnerability describes the characteristics and circumstances of a community, system or asset that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard. There are many aspects of vulnerability, arising from various physical, social, economic, and environmental factors.
The probability that a community’s structure or geographic area is to be damaged or disrupted by the impact of a particular hazard, on account of their nature, construction, and proximity to a hazardous area.
Coping Capacity is the ability of people, organizations and systems, using available skills and resources, to face and manage adverse conditions, emergencies or disasters.

India is a country of Disasters. We are looking into Disaster Management as a basic problem of India. Our own work in the field of Earthquakes is also discussed.
A natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth; examples include floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other geologic processes.
this lesson discuess about causes of natural hazards, impacts of natural hazards, process of naural disaster and types of natural hazards based of different reasons
Introduction to natural hazard and disaster management Jahangir Alam
The earth indeed a hazardous planet
There are 516 active volcanoes with an eruption every 15 days (on average)
Global monitors record approximately 2000 earth tremors everyday
There are approximately 2 earthquakes per day of sufficient strength to cause damage to homes and buildings, with severe damage occurring 15 to 20 times per year.
There are 1800 thunderstorms at any given time across the earth surface; lightening strikes 100 times every second.
On average there 4 to 5 tornadoes per day or 600 1000 per year.
NATURAL HAZARDS: SOME FACTS & STATISTICS
Environmental or Natural Hazards/Disasters generally refers to geophysical events such as earthquakes, volcanoes, drought, flooding, cyclone, lightening etc., that can potentially cause large scale economic damage and physical injury or death. Environmental hazards are sometimes known as ‘Act of God.’

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Scope
• Disasters are as old as our Earth & Mankind.
• It was even before Mankind-Earth faces through different extremes of
Climate, mountain buildings and aestroid and commets strikes- Dinasour
and many animals extinct
• The first description of Disaster and its management comes from
biblical “NOAH” and his ark.
• Similar Flood tales are widespread in- Greek Mythology,
Puranas, Mesopotamian stories, and many cultures.
Disasters Concepts-
3
4. Some Terms to be Dealt with
DISASTER
A major hazard event that causes widespread disruption to a community or region that the affected
community is unable to deal with adequately without outside help. It is an event of hazard
occurrence and assessments of magnitude loss of life and property
HAZARD
A threat (whether natural or human) that has the potential to cause loss of life, injury, property
damage, socio-economic disruption or environmental degradation. A hazard may not always bring
disaster but if not properly handled or well prepared, they can bring big disaster. It remains threat so
long it does not bring disaster.
HAZARD EVENT
The occurrence (realization) of a hazard, the effects of which change demographic, economic and/or
environmental conditions.
RISK
The probability of a hazard event causing harmful consequences (expected losses in terms of deaths,
injuries, property damage, economy and environment). Eg. There are risks when you don’t wear
helmet while driving motor cycle
VULNERABILITY
The susceptibility of a community to a hazard or to the impacts of a hazard event. Eg. Assam is
vulnerable to floods because of its plain land, nearby big rivers and heavy rainfall region
5. WHAT are DISASTERS ?
Any occurrence that causes damage, ecological disruption, loss of human
life,deterioration of health and health services on a scale, sufficient to warrant an
extraordinary response from outside the affected community or
area.(WHO)
A disaster can be defined as an occurrence either nature or man made that
causes human suffering and creates human needs that victim cannot alleviate without
assistance.
(American Red Cross)
Etymology
Originated from Greek dus =
bad aster = star
Calamity due to position of a planet or a star.
Then evolved in Italian as disastro,
To become French désastre (de.zastʁ). &
then disaster .

6. Explanation & Mechanism of
Disaster
Function of Hazards and Vulnerability, If
vulnerables are reduced then Disaster can be
minimized from Hazards
8. What are Hazards?

Hazard -
Any phenomenon that has the potential to cause
disruption or damage to people and their environment.
“A hazard is natural event while the disaster is its consequence. A hazard is perceived natural event
which threatens both life and property……
A disaster is a realization of this hazard.”-John Whittow
• When hazard involves elements of RISKS, VULNERABILITIES AND CAPACITIES,
they can turn into DISASTERS.
Hazards may be of Two Types
Slow/ takes time
Floods, draughts, Climatic,
Global warming, Cyclones-
storms etc
Onset/rapid/sudden
outbreak
Earthquake, landslides,,
Volcano, Tsunami, Industrials
accidents etc
9. How do we define a hazard?
• How do we Define Hazard
Hazards can
be GEOPHYSICAL,
• like possible earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, cyclones,
storms floods and droughts. All having the power to cause
disasters
Hazards can
be BIOLOGICAL
• like disease and infestation. Plagues that have the potential
to cause mass devastation and disaster.
Hazards are DETERMINED by
their SEVERITY IN DIFFERENT
SITUATIONS
• The have the potential to threaten life, health, property
and the environment.
Not considered
disasters
• Hazards can strike unpopulated areas and are not considered
disasters if they are not a threat to humanity.
10. Differences Between Hazard & Disaster
Hazard Disaster
Before an event of Calamity After a Event of Calamity and magnitude loss of life and property
Hazard can be both Natural and Human Disaster can be both Natural and Human
Probable damage, risk and Vulnerable involves When Risks meet Vulnerability in the event then it results to Disaster
Measured in terms of ri and Vulnerable Asserssment Measured in terms of loss of life and property. Eg. Even if there is a
strong Earthquake but only few dies and has less damage, then it is not
called Disaster
The Hazard cannot be avoided But Disaster Can be avoided if proper management is taken
Hazard can be slow (Draught, Cyclone, floods)
or onset like Earth quake, tsunami, landslides
etc
Disaster cannot be categorised as it is the result of Disaster
• Hazards may be inevitable but disasters can be prevented…
