The document discusses disaster risk reduction (DRR) and provides definitions, components, strategies, and challenges related to DRR. It defines DRR as aimed at preventing new and reducing existing disaster risk to strengthen resilience. The key components of DRR discussed are mitigation, preparation, response, and recovery. Challenges to addressing DRR include lack of political commitment, resource constraints, and ineffective disaster information systems. International frameworks like the Hyogo Framework and Sendai Framework provide guidance on DRR policy and priorities.
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.

Disaster management is how we deal with the human, material, economic or environmental impacts of said disaster, it is the process of how we “prepare for, respond to and learn from the effects of major failures”. Though often caused by nature, disasters can have human origins.
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.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

Disaster Risk Reduction
1. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
Dr Fayaz A. Malla
Assistant Professor, Environmental Sciences
Higher Education Department, Govt. of J&K
Email: nami.fayaz@gmail.com
2. Disaster Risk
Reduction (DRR)
• Disaster risk reduction is aimed at preventing
new and reducing existing disaster risk and
managing residual risk, all of which contribute to
strengthening resilience and therefore to the
achievement of sustainable development
• The concept and practice of reducing disaster risks through
systematic efforts to analyze and manage the causal factors
of disasters, including through reduced exposure to hazards,
lessened vulnerability of people and property, wise
management of land and the environment, and improved
preparedness for adverse events.” (United Nations
International Strategy for Disaster Reduction, 2009)
3. Why
DRR
Disaster causes the loss of lives and properties. Disaster also turns one’s life upside
down. Disaster could erase all the social and economic progress achieved till date.
Therefore, although disaster couldn’t be totally prevented, its impact can be reduced.
DRR thus, helps in identifying the vulnerable groups early and protecting them.
DRR is the way of being prepared against the sudden disasters
Natural hazards are naturally-occurring physical phenomena caused by either the rapid
or slow onset of events having atmospheric, geologic and hydrologic origins on solar,
global, regional, national or local scales.
Disasters often follow natural hazards, and they are a result of the combination of
hazards, the conditions of vulnerability and of the insufficient capacity or measures to
reduce the potentially negative consequences of the hazard.
Disaster risk reduction is the concept and practice of reducing disaster risks through
systematic efforts to analyse and reduce the causal factors of disasters.
5. Mitigation
Mitigation refers to the
action that are to be
taken before the
occurrence of an event.
Mitigation phase is for
reducing the overall
risk and impacts.
Vulnerability
assessment
Risk assessment Hazard assessment
6. • Reviewing building codes.
• Vulnerability analysis updates.
• Zoning and land-use management
and planning.
• Reviewing of building use
regulations and safety codes
• Implementing preventative health
measures
• Political intervention and
commitment
• Public awareness
7. Disaster
Mitigation
• Structural mitigation –construction
projects which reduce economic and
social impacts i.e., dams, windbreaks,
terracing and hazard resistant
buildings.
• Non-structural activities –policies and
practices which raise awareness of
hazards or encourage developments to
reduce the impact of disasters
8.
9. Various mitigation
strategies or measures-
For instance, varieties of
crops that are more wind,
flood or drought resistant
can often be introduced
in areas prone to floods,
drought and cyclones,
Economic diversification.
Strategies

10. Disaster mitigation
and Infrastructure
• Investment in infrastructure to support sustainable
socioeconomic development
Investment in infrastructure for reconstruction and recovery.
• A backup generator is available in case of power failure and that
a battery-operated radio .
• A backup copy of all critical information
• The preliminary design should take into consideration
the prevalent hazards and methods to avoid or to
minimize the effectsof the extreme natural events.
• Strengthening vulnerable areas such as roofs, exterior doors,
windows, and garage doors.
11. Preparedness
Preparedness
is also done
before the
occurrence of
an
event/disaster
All kinds of
plan like
vulnerability
management
plans,
emergency

13. Response
Refers to the activities that are done after the event or disaster has occurred
Saving human life is major concern at this stage
Evacuation, Migration, administrating first-aid, transportation of affected people to hospital
Emergency services (food, shelter, medical attention, etc.)
Provision for medical help
Coordination action between the local and international actions
National and international support
14. Response
The mission of the response phase is to meet the basic needs of the people
until more permanent and sustainable solutions are formulated.
There is growing awareness of costs associated with improper management
of disasters and hence communities and government are trying hard to
improve the first responder efforts.
Disaster response is aimed at providing instant support to maintain life and
health of the affected population.
There is a wide array of response activities carried out after disaster like
first-aid, transportation, shelter and food, initial repairs to damaged
infrastructure.
15. The level & kind of disaster response depends on several factors – the scale of
disaster, the nature and number of affected people and site-specific conditions.
Response comprises the decisions and actions taken to deal with an urgent
situation that has adversely affected life and property.
It calls for collaboration, coordination and communication between agencies
involved in administrating rescue and relief operations.
The main aim of response is to save and protect human life.
Response
16. To guarantee the continued existence of the
maximum possible number of affected population
and ensuring that they are in the best possible
physical and mental health in the circumstances.
To reinstate critical services and provide food,
clothing and water.
To restore or replace demolished or damaged
infrastructure.
To make alternate housing arrangements in camps.
To help in relieving suffering.
To protect the health and safety of responding
personnel.
The other aims of response
17. Recovery
Recovery is a post disaster action
Create emergency relief fund
Rehabilitate the victims
Reconstruction of the damages properties or make
arrangement (through loans)
Psychological counselling

19. Strategies
to
Strengthen
DRR
• Many countries are putting an effort to develop and implement
the strategy for DRR.
• Financial and technical support also enhances DRR effort.
• International support and assistance at such situation encourage
for DRR plan.
International DRR efforts
• Political commitment is key to advancing DRR issues at all levels.
• This integration helps in bringing overall change.
• DRR needs to be integrated in all developmental projects
• Along with commitment requires transparency.
• Such integration is also necessary to gain international support
and assistance.
• Many international conferences and organizations also
emphasize on integration of DRR plans into national policy.
Integration of DRR into national policy
20. Strategies
to
Strengthen
DRR
• Capacity building is necessary as it
represents the national/local strength.
• Capacity building can be done through
improving governance, accountability
and leadership of national societies
and committees
• It includes providing education,
trainings and skills volunteers and all
the related staffs.
Capacity building
21. Challenges to Address DRR
Effective and uniform disaster information system
• Needs to maintain disaster information system
• This needs to be uniform and scientific as well
• Issues like finance, technology, human resource, etc., effects in formation of such information system.
Lack of Political commitment
• Lack of political commitment is the major issue in developing country
• With the country’s main issue being fighting the poverty, improving the health, and establishment of basic
infrastructure; DRR comes to the least priority.
• Political Commitment is utmost to prepare for disaster beforehand
Increased Risk
• Rapid unplanned urbanization furthers increases the risk of occurrence of disaster in such countries.
• Unplanned construction, town planning further makes the people more vulnerable.
• Population growth alone increases the risk.
• Developing countries are more prone to effects of climate change and the disaster induced.
22. Challenges to Address DRR
Resource constraints
• From mitigation to recovery requires lots of resources.
• Developing countries find it difficult to afford such expenditure.
• Besides fund, technical assistance is also required.
• There needs to be intensive research about vulnerability
assessment, risk assessment and many more for DRR which
requires lot of resources.
• Inadequate infrastructure further adds up to already existing
resource constraints.
23. • Disasters set back
development programming,
destroying years of
development initiatives.
• Rebuilding after a disaster
provides significant
opportunities to initiate
development programs
• Development programs can increase an
area’s susceptibility to disasters
• Development programs can be designed to
decrease the susceptibility to disasters and their
negative consequences
24. Development initiatives for countries
faced disaster
Partnership-close collaboration among donors,
governments, communities, nongovernmental
organizations, the private sector, and universities
Flexibility- Development agencies must be efficient
and flexible; adaptable to local environments and
capable of adjusting to changing conditions and
seizing opportunities when they arise.
Selectivity-resources are the public asset that must be
invested prudently to achieve maximum impact.
25. Important Activities
Develop and test
Develop and test
warning systems
regularly and plan
measures to be taken
during a disaster alert
period to minimize
potential loss of life and
physical damage.
Educate and train

28. Policy Arena
There have been growing calls for greater clarity about the
components of DRR and about indicators of progress toward
resilience — a challenge that the international community took up at
the UN's World Conference on Disaster Reduction (WCDR) in Kobe,
Japan, in 2005, only days after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.
The WCDR began the process of pushing international agencies and
national governments beyond the vague rhetoric of most policy
statements and toward setting clear targets and commitments for
DRR.
29. Hyogo Framework for Action
The first step in this process was the formal approval at the WCDR of the Hyogo
Framework for Action (2005–2015) (HFA).
This was the first internationally accepted framework for DRR. It set out an ordered
sequence of objectives (outcome – strategic goals – priorities), with five priorities
for action attempting to 'capture' the main areas of DRR intervention.
The UN's biennial Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction provided an
opportunity for the UN and its member states to review progress against the
Hyogo Framework.
It held its first session 5–7 June 2007 in Geneva, Switzerland, where UNISDR is
based.
The subsequent Global Platforms were held in June 2009, May 2011 and May 2013, all
in Geneva.
30. Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction
• The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015–2030) is an international document that was adopted by
the United Nations member states between 14 and 18 March 2015 at the World Conference on Disaster Risk
Reduction held in Sendai, Japan, and endorsed by the UN General Assembly in June 2015.
• It is the successor agreement to the Hyogo Framework for Action (2005–2015), which had been the most
encompassing international accord to date on disaster risk reduction.
• The Sendai document emerged from three years' of talks, assisted by the United Nations International Strategy for
Disaster Reduction, during which UN member states, NGOs, and other stakeholders made calls for an improved
version of the existing Hyogo Framework, with a set of common standards, a comprehensive framework with
achievable targets, and a legally-based instrument for disaster risk reduction.
• Member states also emphasized the need to tackle disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation when
setting the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly considering an insufficient focus on risk reduction and
resilience in the original Millennium Development Goals.
