Disaster
“A disaster can be defined as 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”.
(W.H.O.)
Disaster management
Disaster management can be defined as the effective organization, direction, and utilization of available counter-disaster resource.

The Guidelines on the Incident Response System (IRS) are issued by the
National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) under Section 6 of the
DM Act, 2005 for effective, efficient and comprehensive management of
disasters in India. The vision is to minimize loss of life and property by
strengthening and standardising the disaster response mechanism in the
country.
Though India has been successfully managing disasters in the past,
there are still a number of shortcomings which need to be addressed. The
response today has to be far more comprehensive, effective, swift and well
planned based on a well conceived response mechanism.
Realisation of certain shortcomings in our response system and a desire
to address the critical gaps led the Government of India (GoI) to look at
the world’s best practices. The GoI found that the system evolved for firefighting
in California is very comprehensive and thus decided to adopt
Incident Command System (ICS).
In view of the provisions of the DM Act, 2005, NDMA felt that authoritative
Guidelines on the subject, with necessary modifications to suit the Indian
administrative setup, were essential. To meet this need, a core group of
experts was constituted and four regional consultation workshops were
conducted. It was ensured that representatives of the State Governments
and MHA participate and their views given due consideration. Training
Institutes like the LBSNAA, NIDM and various RTIs / ATIs along with National
core trainers also participated. The adaptation of ICS by other countries
was also examined. The draft prepared was again sent to all States, UTs and
their final comments were obtained and incorporated. A comprehensive set
of Guidelines has thus been prepared and is called the Incident Response
System (IRS)

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

22. Invest in PreparednessInvest in Preparedness
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.
23. Best PracticesBest Practices
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.
