Karnataka is vulnerable in varying degrees to a number of disasters induced by natural as well as human causes — 50% per cent of the total area is vulnerable to drought; 22 per cent of the total geographical area is prone to earthquakes of moderate intensity; northern districts in the Krishna and Godavari basins are prone to floods and river erosion; with about 300km of coastline, most of it is prone to cyclones and coastal erosion; and six districts in the Western Ghats are at risk from landslides. Further, the vulnerability to terrorism and Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) disasters has also increased manifold.
1.2 Disaster Risks in Karnataka
Karnataka has been experiencing losses and damages due to various natural and human induced disasters such as drought, flood, cyclones, landslides, epidemics, etc. for a long time now. Disaster risks are further compounded by increasing vulnerabilities. These include the ever-growing population, the vast disparities in income, rapid urbanisation, increasing industrialisation, development within high-risk zones, environmental degradation, climate change, etc. All these threaten the population, national security, economy and its sustainable development. Nationally and internationally governments are taking proactive steps to prepare for such forseeable risks. Government of Karnataka takes this opportunity to issue the guidelines for the preparation of the District Plan for Disaster Management (DM) of disasters induced by natural causes as mandated by the Disaster Management Act, 2005 (DM ACT, 2005). The DM plans will build in region and hazard specific management tools in the context of regional and multi-hazard vulnerabilities.

During the second half of the twentieth century, Colombian society underwent a number of deep transformations in its population distribution, economy, and social behaviour. World events (war and economic movements) that had taken place during the previous decades made it necessary to introduce policies involving industrialisation, based on import substitution, an approach which was officially adopted into Colombian policies under the orientation and sponsorship of the Colombian Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (CEPAL).
Transportation planning is an integral part of overall urban planning and needs systematic approach.
Travel demand estimation is an important part of comprehensive transportation planning process.
However, planning does not end by predicting travel demand.
The ultimate aim of urban transport planning is to generate alternatives for improving transportation system to meet future demand and selecting the best alternative after proper evaluation.
In today’s world with the ever increasing traffic it is inherent that we immediately find an optimum solution for it so that we can move on from being a developing nation to a super power.
There is a great need to resolve our transportation issues at the earliest as connectivity is of grave importance. Finding a systematic and organized way around the current situation is only going to benefit us in the long run. Better connectivity reduces transportation costs immensely and saves time in traveling.
Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987).
Balancing the fulfillment of human needs with the protection of the natural environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but in the indefinite future.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

Vulnerability of the elements which are affected
Economic value of those elements
Vulnerability:
Predisposition of a community, structure, service,
and/or geographic area to damage on account of their
nature, construction and proximity to hazardous
terrain or a disaster prone area”
Hazards:
“Phenomena that pose a threat to people, structures,
or economic assets and which may cause a disaster.

Mechanisms for integrating the scientific, technological and administrative agencies for
effective disaster management.
Terrestrial communication links which collapse in the event of a rapid onset disaster.
Vulnerability of critical infrastructures (power supply, communication, water supply,
transport, etc.) to disaster events.
Funding : Primacy of relief as disaster response.
Preparedness and Mitigation very often ignored.
Lack of integrated efforts to collect and compile data, information and local knowledge on
disaster history and traditional response patterns.
Need for standardised efforts in compiling and interpreting geo-spatial data, satellite imagery
and early warning signals.
Weak areas continue to be forecasting, modelling, risk prediction, simulation and scenario
analysis, etc.
Absence of a national level, state level, and district level directory of experts and inventory of
resources.
Absence of a National Disaster Management Plan, and State level and district level disaster
management plans.

23. There is a high probability of a low probability
event happening somewhere sometime soon…
The unpredictability of disaster events and the
high risk and vulnerability profiles make it
imperative to strengthen disaster preparedness,
mitigation and enforcement of guidelines,
building codes and restrictions on construction of
buildings in flood-prone areas and storm surge
prone coastal areas.
24. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA)
has been set up as the apex body for Disaster Management
in India, with the Prime Minister as its Chairman.
Disaster Management Authorities will be set up at the
State and District Levels to be headed by the Chief
Ministers and Collectors/Zilla Parishad Chairmen
respectively.
A National Disaster Mitigation Fund will be administerd
by NDMA. States and districts will administer mitigation
funds.
A National Disaster Response Fund will be administerd by
NDMA through the National Executive Committee. States
and Districts will administer state Disaster Response Fund
and Disaster Response Fund respectively.
8 Battalions of National Disaster Response Force (NDRF)
are being trained and deployed with CSSR and MFR
equipments and tools in eight strategic locations.
A National Disaster Management Policy and National
25. Be Prepared : Preparedness and Mitigation is bound to
yield more effective returns than distributing relief after
a disaster.
Create a Culture of Preparedness and Prevention.
Evolve a code of conduct for all stake-holders
26. Encourage and consolidate knowledge networks.
Mobilise and train disaster volunteers for more effective preparedness,
mitigation and response (NSS, NCC, Scouts and Guides, NYK, Civil
Defence, Homeguards).
Increased capacity building leads to faster vulnerability reduction.
Learn from best practices in disaster preparedness, mitigation and disaster
response.
Mobilising stakeholder participation of Self Help Groups, Women’s
Groups, Youth Groups, Panchayati Raj Institutions.
Anticipatory Governance: Simulation exercises, Mock drills and Scenario
Analysis.
Indigenous knowledge systems and coping practices.
Living with Risk: Community Based Disaster Risk Management.
Inclusive, participatory, gender sensitive, child friendly, eco-friendly and
disabled friendly disaster management.
Technology driven but people owned.
Knowledge Management: Documentation and dissemination of good
practices.
Public Private Partnership.
27. Investments in Preparedness and Prevention (Mitigation)
will yield sustainable results, rather than spending money
on relief after a disaster.
Most disasters are predictable, especially in their
seasonality and the disaster-prone areas which are
vulnerable.
Communities must be involved in disaster preparedness.
28. On 12 November, 1970 a major cyclone hit the coastal
belt of Bangladesh at 223 km/hr. with a storm surge of
six to nine meters height, killing an estimated 500,000
people.
Due to the Cyclone Preparedness Program, the April
1991 cyclone with wind speed of 225 km/hr. killed only
138,000 people even though the coastal population
had doubled by that time.
In May 1994, in a similar cyclone with a wind speed of
250 km/hr. only 127 people lost their lives.
In May 1997, in a cyclone with wind speed of 200
km/hr. only 111 people lost their lives.

31. 1. It is possible to reduce loss of life and property
through preparedness.
2. Preparedness is necessary at every level –
national, provincial, local and community.
3. Preparedness is necessary in every sector.
4. Pre-Disaster Recovery Planning to ensure better
coordination among various sectors in different
levels.
5. Such planning needs to be formalized in the
shape of manuals and Standard Operating
Procedures so that there is no confusion during
and after disasters.
32. 1. Holistic - cover housing, infrastructure, education,
livelihood, health, psycho-social care etc.
2. Long term - provide livelihood support including
development of skill, provisioning of credit and
marketing support etc
3. ‘Build back better’ - ensure that the houses and
infrastructure constructed after disasters withstand the
hazards and risks of nature and the hazards do not
become disasters again
4. Sustainable - integrate environmental issues, such
regeneration of mangroves, conservation of water,
5. Inclusive -care for poor and vulnerable - women,
children, aged, physically and mentally challenged people
