effective disaster management by efficient usage of resourcesINFOGAIN PUBLICATION
Disaster Management can be merely defined as the organization and management of resources and responsibilities for dealing with all humanitarian aspects of crises, in specific preparedness, rejoinder and recapture in order to diminish the influence of disasters. But the affects of the disaster increases only when the information about the disaster is unknown and when the resources for the disaster management is not correctly used. Now there are several methods for forecast the disaster, But there are no any effective methods for handling the resources needed for both managing the disaster and also for rehabilitation purpose. Thus this paper proposes an application used for managing the disaster and handling the rehabilitation process. This application which deals with almost all the resources those are required for the management of disaster. This proposed application which is based on java programming language. This project also has a great scope of enhancement in future.
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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.
1. CONCEPT OF DISASTER RISK REDUCTION (DRR) AND
DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT (DRRM)
9.1 Disaster Risk Reduction
9.2 Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction
and Management (CBDRRM) for Preparedness
REID CHRYSLER C. MANARES
3. Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) refers to systematic efforts to
minimize vulnerabilities and disaster risks, to avoid, or to limit the
effects of hazards.
Examples of
DRRR Activities
• building code revision
and implementation
• hazard and vulnerability
analysis
• zoning and land use
management
• public awareness and
education
• early warning systems
(forecasting, etc.)

4. Risk Identification
Risk Analysis
Risk Prioritization
Risk Treatment
Monitoring
and Evaluation
Disaster risk reduction is a process
which is done before a disaster
strikes, and consists of FIVE steps:
5. Risk Identification
Risk Analysis
Risk Prioritization
Risk Treatment
Monitoring
and Evaluation
The risk identification stage
identifies the hazards; potential
threats are identified based partly
on experience and records.
6. Risk Identification
Risk Analysis
Risk Prioritization
Risk Treatment
Monitoring
and Evaluation
Risk analysis aims to establish the
magnitude and the likelihood of the
occurrence of the event.
7. Risk Identification
Risk Analysis
Risk Prioritization
Risk Treatment
Monitoring
and Evaluation
The risk prioritization step
analyzes and identifies priority
subjects (hazards, areas,
and elements at risk) requiring
treatment.
8. Risk Identification
Risk Analysis
Risk Prioritization
Risk Treatment
Monitoring
and Evaluation
The risk treatment stage identifies
the cause of the risks, identifies and
evaluates treatment strategies, and
prepares and implements treatment
plans.
9. Risk Identification
Risk Analysis
Risk Prioritization
Risk Treatment
Monitoring
and Evaluation
Monitoring and evaluation oversee
s the implementation progress of the
disaster risk management process.
This stage also conducts periodic
investigation of progress and
analysis of impact and achievement.
10. Mitigation measures are designed to minimize disaster-related losses.
EXAMPLES OF MITIGATION MEASURES:
1. Strengthening buildings
2. Proper timing of crop cycles
3. Restriction of activities in volcanic
danger zones
4. Determining which facilities need
fire-safe roofing materials
5. Implementing flood-control projects
6. Implementing land use-control laws
DISASTER PREPAREDNESS PRACTICES:
1. Planning for evacuation routes and
camps
2. Logistics for providing relief supplies
3. Stockpiling of equipment and
supplies
4. Promotion of public awareness
through information and
education campaigns
Likewise, preparedness measures are also done before a disaster-causing event.
11. ▪ Disaster risk reduction activities are part and parcel of the whole effort
undertaken before and until long after a disastrous event.
▪ The entire array of activities aimed at reducing the severity of
impact of the disaster-causing event which are undertaken
before, during, and after a disaster is referred to collectively as
disaster management.
Early warnings should be
easily understood
▪ A Yolanda timeline prepared
by the NDRRMC shows that
the typhoon was already
being tracked a week before
it entered PAR.
▪ However, it was obvious,
however, that the public
could not imagine Yolanda’s
magnitude and proportions.
▪ Although they had been
warned, many were not
alarmed because they had
survived very destructive
weather events before.
▪ They were also warned about
a possible storm surge, but
they did not know what it
meant, let alone understood
its deadly potential.
An Excerpt from “Y It Happened: Learning
from Typhoon Yolanda”
15. ▪ Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction Management
(CBDRRM) empowers the people by recognizing and
emphasizing the value of communities and local organizations.
▪ By entrusting DRRM to them, the technical and organizational
capacities of communities are enhanced.
Disaster preparedness
should not be left solely to
National Government
Agencies (NGA):
▪ NGAs are limited by
budget and organizational
capability
▪ NGAs cannot also be in
disaster areas right away.
▪ Local people and
organizations can
recognize and respond
faster to local problems
and needs.
▪ Cost-effectiveness and
sustainability of activities
should be expected when
these are conducted by
local people.
16. WHO ARE THE PARTICIPANTS IN CBDRRM?
CBDRRM engages in communities,
not only in DRR, but also in all phases
of the disaster management cycle.
The tasks of decision-making and
activity implementation rest primarily
on local people and organizations,
with the national government
assuming a supportive partner’s role.
WHAT ARE THE AIMS OF CBDRRM?
CBDRRM aims to create resilient
communities which are able to reduce
their vulnerabilities and exposure, and
at the same time, enhance their
capacities before, during, and after
a disaster.
Capacity refers to the ability to reduce the probability of failure through
risk reduction measures, to reduce the consequences of failure, and to reduce
recovery time and patterns of vulnerability during reconstruction.

▪ The formulation of policies and
frameworks for warning rests on the
national government.
▪ While putting in place systems to
ensure timely and effective warnings
is the national government’s
responsibility, communities can
certainly participate and be of help
in this aspect.

20. ▪ Predictions and warnings are
indispensable preparedness
tools undertaken before a disaster
strikes.
▪ People, however, should be made
to understand the nature and
consequences of the hazards they
are faced with when warnings are
issued.
▪ The severity of hazards and the
consequences of not heeding
predictions and warnings should be
properly explained.

21. ▪ There is no better way of implementing sustained information
and education campaigns and other preparedness measures
than at the level of communities affected and by the
community dwellers themselves.
▪ Emergency planning for syn- and post-disaster situations are
best done right where the people who might be affected are.
▪ Involving people directly in monitoring and warning activities will
make them better understand the hazards affecting them,
and hence, be more receptive to warnings.
22. ▪ Educational institutions are indispensable actors in community-based
DRRM. Students fall within the most vulnerable sectors of the
population.
▪ Yet, because of the nature of schools and students, they could also be
the most potent agents, not only of disaster preparedness, but in all
aspects of the disaster management cycle.
Involving Children
and Youth
▪ Children and youth are
increasingly participating in
CBDRM and HVCA.
▪ It does not only help them in
dealing with disasters, it can
also enhance the resilience
of their communities.
▪ Training their hands-on
hazard, vulnerability, and
capacity assessment (HVCA)
techniques builds their
knowledge and skills, enabling
them to assess and monitor
hazards, risks, vulnerabilities
and capacities in their
communities.
▪ Having them involved
becomes more powerful when
combined with projects that
recognize poverty as key
factor in vulnerability and can
actively assist in reducing it.
