Omedo: Vulnerability of urban informal settlements to environmental hazards: ...
The document summarizes a case study on the vulnerability of Korogocho, an informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya, to environmental hazards. It finds that the settlement is highly vulnerable to common hazards like floods, fires, diseases and droughts due to factors like poor quality housing, livelihoods and socioeconomic conditions. Diseases pose the highest vulnerability. The study recommends adaptation and mitigation strategies to reduce the community's susceptibility to hazards, as poverty is a major exacerbating factor though local planning could help address vulnerability issues in informal urban settlements.
Drought disaster management
Drought is a prolonged dry period that lacks precipitation and can occur worldwide, resulting in water shortage. It seriously impacts health, agriculture, economies, energy, and the environment. An estimated 55 million people are affected by droughts annually. Drought threatens livelihoods and increases disease and death risks, potentially displacing 700 million people by 2030 due to water scarcity. Drought can be meteorological, agricultural, hydrological, or socioeconomic based on precipitation deficits and their effects. Impacts include famine, economic damages, and environmental degradation. Drought is monitored and predicted using precipitation and moisture data to assess vulnerability and inform mitigation measures like afforestation and water conservation.
FLOOD PREVENTION, MITIGATION AND PREPAREDNESS
Flood prevention, mitigation and preparedness require adherence to environmental standards and regulations. The document discusses Nigeria's environmental standards agency NESREA and some of its regulations related to flood control. It also outlines challenges to complying with standards in communities and provides strategies for stakeholders to prevent and respond to flooding, including NESREA's role in prevention through education and compliance activities. Key stakeholders in flood prevention are identified.
Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction Module 1
The document provides an introduction to disaster risk reduction and resilience (DRRR) for grade 11 students. It defines key terms like disaster, hazard, vulnerability, risk, and exposure. It also gives examples of natural disasters that have impacted the Philippines like Typhoon Yolanda, the Wowowee stampede, and Typhoon Ondoy. The effects of disasters on populations are outlined, covering displaced people, health risks, food scarcity, and emotional aftershocks. Areas exposed to different hazards are also listed. The document concludes with a short quiz to test understanding of DRRR concepts.
Huseina Abbas- Sea Change Powerpoint Presentation Section H
The document discusses trends in climate change and their impacts on public health, including more extreme precipitation events, flooding, sea level rise, and increased temperatures. It notes climate change events accounted for 90% of disaster fatalities from 1970-1999. Preparedness strategies are presented to build resilience like reducing vulnerability, preparing for extreme weather, and risk assessment. Specific strategies for New Jersey are outlined like conducting risk assessments, developing local leader coalitions, and educating the public. The conclusion emphasizes the need for cooperation across sectors to address the future impacts of climate change.
Disaster management
Floods are natural disasters caused by heavy rain or snowmelt that can damage homes, farms and infrastructure. Flood management involves both structural measures like dams and non-structural measures like early warning systems. India is prone to flooding and has authorities that deal with different natural disasters at the national, state and local levels. It is important for individuals and communities to prepare emergency supplies, evacuation plans and to follow evacuation orders when floods threaten.
Environment and development
This document discusses the relationship between the environment and economic development. It covers topics such as sustainable development, environmental accounting, the impact of population growth and poverty on resources, and the tradeoffs between economic growth and environmental degradation. The key issues addressed are how to increase development in developing countries while preserving environmental capital and ensuring patterns of production and consumption are sustainable.

Ecological disaster 8105 new
The document discusses ecological impacts of disasters both natural and man-made. It provides examples of major disasters in India like the Bhopal gas leak in 1984 which killed thousands and continues to impact the local environment. Climate change is also causing ecological impacts as species ranges and timing change and ecosystems are disrupted. While climate change has global causes, the impacts are often local. Human activities that contribute to climate change and damage habitats can compound the effects on ecosystems, but changes in human practices may help species better adapt.
Deforestation and human health.pdf
Deforestation is the clearing of forested land for purposes like agriculture, grazing, fuel, and construction materials. It can lead to biodiversity loss, climate change, desertification, soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding, and increased greenhouse gases. Additionally, deforestation creates conditions for infectious diseases to spread from animals to humans. Solutions include government regulations, banning clear-cutting, reforestation, reducing paper consumption, education, using renewable energy, and supporting sustainable companies.
Drought
.
A “drought” is an extended period of deficient rainfall relative to the statistical multi-year average for a region. But because of the various ways it is measured, an objective drought definition has yet to be produced upon which everyone can agree.
The four types are: meteorological (lack of precipitation), agricultural, (lack of moisture in the soil where crops grow), hydrological (low levels of water in lakes and reservoirs), and socioeconomic (water shortages in drinking and running water).
Only .003% of water on Earth is freshwater available for human consumption. Save water by challenging friends to only use 13 gallons of water in a day. (It’s harder than it sounds!) Sign up for 13 Gallon Challenge.
Meteorologists predict drought based on precipitation patterns, stream flow, and moisture of soil over long periods of time.
In the United States, droughts are most likely to occur in the Midwest and the South.
Integrated Flood Management (IFM)
The document discusses integrated flood management and the different types of flooding. It describes flash floods, river floods, coastal floods, and urban floods. It then discusses flood characteristics, damages, causes, and measures to manage floods. Major impacts of flooding include loss of life and property, loss of livelihoods, decreased purchasing power, mass migration, psychosocial effects, and hindering of economic growth and development. Political implications can also arise from ineffective flood responses. The document concludes by discussing why floods frequently occur in Pakistan due to geography of the Indus River.
FLOOD DISASTERS PART 7. LEARNING FROM GLOBAL DISASTER LABORATORIES
FLOOD DISASTERS PART 7. LEARNING FROM GLOBAL DISASTER LABORATORIESProfessor Eric K. Noji, M.D., MPH, DTMH(Lon), FRCP(UK)hon
Flooding occurs somewhere in the world approximately 10,000 times every day as the consequences of a locale having more water than the local water cycle can process within its physical limits. Floods occur as the result of: extreme levels of , precipitation in thunderstorms, tropical storms, typhoons, hurricanes, and cyclones; in storm surges, and in tsunami wave run up. What have we learned from recent floods to increase survivability and decrease socioeconomic losses? First of all, the timing of anticipatory actions is vital. People who know: 1) what to expect (e.g., inundation from extreme precipitation, storm surge, tsunami wave run up), 2) where and when impacts will happen, and 3) what they should (and should not) do to prepare for them will survive. Secondly, timely, realistic disaster scenarios save lives. The people who have timely, realistic, advance information that facilitates reduction of vulnerabilities, and hence the risks will survive. Thirdly, Emergency preparedness and response saves lives. The timing of emergency response operations, especially the search and rescue operations that are limited to “the golden 48 hours" will increase the likelihood of survival. The local community’s capacity for emergency health care (i,e., coping with damaged hospitals and medical facilities, lack of clean drinking water, food, and medicine to treat water borne diseases, and high levels of morbidity and mortality) is vital for survival. The local community’s capacity for emergency health care (i,e., coping with damaged hospitals and medical facilities, lack of clean drinking water, food, and medicine, and high levels of morbidity and mortality) is vital for survival. And finally, engineered infrastructure save lives. Infrastructure engineered to withstand the risks from floods (e.g., damage, failure, and loss of function), is vital for survival. We continue to operate with a flawed premise: knowledge from flood disasters, which occur every day somewhere in the world in association with rain, severe windstorms, and tsunamis, is enough to make any nation adopt and implement policies to facilitate disaster resilience. Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is, global construction in the flood plain of rivers and along coastal areas is extensive; the associated political controversy causes most nations to be slow to adopt and implement policies for flood disaster resilience. Presentation courtesy of Dr. Walter Hays, Global Alliance For Disaster ReductionDisaster management during flood time
Flood has been considered as one of the very most recurring and frequent disaster in the world. Due to recurrent prevalence, the economic loss and life damage caused by the flood has put more burdens on economy than any other natural disaster. India has continuously suffered by many flood events which claimed collosal loss of life and economy. It has been found that the incidences of the flood are increasing very sporadically. Causes can be climate change, cloud bursting, tsunami or poor river management, silting etc. but devastation is increasing both in terms of lives and economies.
Flood is most profound and costliest natural disaster in the world which devastates both life and economy at a large extent. It is defined as, “High-water stages in which water over flows its natural or artificial banks onto normally dry land, such as a river inundating its floodplain.” This local and short term event comes with little or no alarming
Presentation on flood
Floods are a common natural disaster in India that occur annually, causing widespread damage to lives and property. Some key points about floods and their management in India include:
- The major flood-prone states are Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Assam, and West Bengal.
- Floods are caused by heavy rainfall, river overflow, coastal flooding, and sometimes dam/reservoir failures. They impact lives, infrastructure, agriculture, and the economy.
- Flood management involves forecasting, structural measures like dams and levees, and non-structural plans to minimize damage and warn communities. Zoning also directs development away from high risk flood areas.
Drought Cycle Management
Drought has severely impacted the Greater Horn of Africa region, resulting in livestock losses up to 70% and mass migration of pastoralists. Early warning and preparedness are critical to an effective drought response. Key components of drought management include a national policy, early warning system, contingency plans, and response fund. Strategic interventions address humanitarian needs, herd management, and water access. Selecting appropriate interventions requires understanding local livelihoods and building community participation and capacity. Preparation measures like diversifying livelihoods and conservation help build resilience, while mitigation actions during drought include destocking, vaccination campaigns, and water trucking. The Pastoralist Livelihoods Initiative in Ethiopia supported early warning and emergency destocking to
Drought
Droughts occur when there is not enough rainfall to support people or crops and can have severe consequences. Drought is caused by both natural factors like changes in weather patterns as well as human factors such as deforestation, overpopulation, and overextraction of water. The vast majority of deaths from drought have occurred in three countries: Ethiopia, Sudan, and Mozambique. Case studies of drought in Ethiopia and Australia show how drought can impact populations through famine, disease, loss of livestock, and economic hardship. Responses to drought involve aid efforts, management of water resources, and strategies to prevent desertification.

Hippo Effect
This document discusses the main threats to biodiversity: habitat destruction, invasive species, pollution, population growth, over-harvesting, and over-consumption. It provides details on each threat, including causes and examples. Habitat destruction is caused by human activities like logging, agriculture, urbanization and forest fires. Invasive species can decimate native species when introduced to new environments. Pollution covers air, water, land, noise and light pollution from industrial and agricultural waste. Population growth and overconsumption put pressure on natural resources as more people consume more. Over-harvesting and overexploitation can lead to the destruction of renewable resources if they are used unsustainably.

Integrated Flood Management Project
This document summarizes a project implemented in Nyando River Basin in Kenya by VIRED International and CARE Kenya to address flooding issues. The project organized flood control teams, identified vulnerable areas, and implemented both structural measures like drainage canals and non-structural measures like agricultural practices. This reduced displacements by 25% and allowed reclamation of flood plains for agriculture. New crops were successfully grown, demonstrating the project's achievement of its goals. Challenges included political interference and disputes, while successes included community capacity building and linking farmers to markets.
rapid population growth and environemental problem
Rapid population growth, especially in developing countries, intensifies environmental degradation by depleting natural resources and polluting the environment. Environmental issues have become a focus in both developed and developing nations. Pollution is caused by the discharge of hazardous industrial wastes and chemical pesticides without treatment, damaging health. Strict enforcement of pollution control laws is needed to address the growing problems of environmental degradation and its social impacts.
