This document summarizes a training workshop on using information and communication technologies (ICT) for disaster risk management. The workshop objectives are to understand the concepts of disaster preparedness and the role of ICT in preparedness. Disaster preparedness measures discussed include preparedness planning, emergency exercises, warning systems, evacuation plans, and public education. The document then outlines how ICT can support various preparedness activities, such as preparedness planning, early warning systems, hazard monitoring, warning dissemination, resource inventories, and public information. Specific ICT applications are provided for flood, cyclone, drought, earthquake, landslide, and volcanic eruption monitoring and early warning.
This document discusses the evolving nature of systemic cyber risk. It defines systemic cyber risk as a cyber event that causes significant disruption across an ecosystem due to interconnected dependencies, resulting in widespread economic, safety or security impacts. While no large-scale cyber pandemic has occurred, increased connectivity and digitization are expanding vulnerabilities. The threat is also evolving as attacks become more sophisticated. Systemic cyber risk could have complex, unpredictable and cascading consequences across multiple sectors due to contagion effects. Specific examples of critical infrastructure like financial systems and transportation networks that could be at risk of systemic cyber events are examined.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
ย
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
