The Total Flood Warning System concept is promoted by the Australian Government and is widely used in the design of Australia’s early flood warning systems. The Total Flood Warning System concept is technically robust in comparison with international flood warning system frameworks. However, it is not as ‘total’ as it might be. This paper looks at six other components identified that make the system holistic and more effective.

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.

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.
1. EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS CONTINGENCY PLAN OF FIRE & EMERGENCY
SERVICES, ASSAM
Introduction: This Plan is prepared for a systematic approach and organisational
preparedness to meet major goals and targets successfully.
The policy of Fire & Emergency Services to respond to disasters
Like earthquake may be summarised in one simple mission
statement - “We serve to save and the department is committed
to providing an effective and efficient responsein all emergency
situations which threatens life, property and public safety.”
This document explains how Fire & Emergency Services will
fulfil this responsibility with comprehensive reference to –
a) Emergency ResponseSystem.
b) Structure and operation of the system.
c) How the system is designed to handle the three main phases of any emergency
response;search & rescue, recovery and restoration.
OBJECTIVE:
1. To mitigate impact of earth-quake disaster through community
awareness and preparedness.
2. To provide effective supportto all concerned.
3. To keep co-ordination and co-operation with other line
departments or stake holders.
4. To develop immediate and long term supportsystem.
5. To create general awareness among the people about
earthquake hazards and safety measures.
What is an Earthquake?
In its basic form, an earthquake is a suddenviolent shaking of the ground as a
result of movements within the earth’s crust, volcanic activity etc.
What are its affects?
Serious disruption of life, probably arising with no warning, that causes or
threatens death or injury on a large scale and/or with destruction of property and
disruption of communication system.
HAZARDS AND VULNERABILITY PROFILES OF ASSAM:
1. The state of Assam is encircled by Hills and the mighty river Brahmaputra
with its tributaries as well as the Barak rivers are flowing through the state.
The entire state is situated in the highly vulnerable seismic Zone-V.
The state of Assam is consisting of 27(twenty seven) districts and
Guwahati is the capital city of the state.
2. Page 1 of 7
2. Area & Population:
According to 2011 census the State of Assam has the following areas,
population and density. Area: 78,438 sq.km Population: 3,11,69,272 Density:
397 per sq. km.
3. Rapid Urbanisation & Consequences:
Due to rapid urbanisation, the City of Guwahati and other major towns in the
state has witnessed mushroom growth of Multi-storied Apartments,
Buildings, Industries etc. with scant respect to requirements of open spaces,
water bodies, preservation of hills and forested areas etc. making these more
prone and highly vulnerable to disasters.
Apart from these the oil industries, refineries, gas based industries, coal mines,
fertilizer industries, manufacturing industries including LPG Bottling Plants and
transportation of Oil and LPG have made the state more hazardous than many others.
In Assam, the chances of having earthquake of higher magnitude(>6 Richter Scale)
in almost every 50 years are fairly high, based on historical records and geological
evidence of numerous active faults that have produced earthquakes in the recent past.
Near about 25(twenty five ) earthquakes of magnitude 5 Richter Scale have occurred
in Assam in the last 5 years. Earthquake of magnitude 6 Richter Scale and more can
cause significant damage and pose life-safety risks. The largest possible earthquakes
for this region of magnitude 8.6 Richter Scale and aboveis very real as there are many
faults capable of producing earthquakes of such magnitude and larger. It is sobering
to consider the impact that some of the earlier historical earthquakes would have on
today’s urban setting. Large earthquakes will inevitably occur in Assam, only the
timing is uncertain.

6. 6. The Operation Commander will provide information and assistance to the
Seniors( as per Hierarchy) in dealing with enquiries from the media and the
public.
C. POST EARTHQUAKE(DISASTER)ACTIVITIES
It is not our intention in this document to go into details about disaster recovery
management, which has its own demands and characteristics. We must, however,
note that recovery agencies must become involved at an early stage of any major
rescueand recovery effort so that they may also begin planning an effective recovery
process. The recovery phase may be a long and costly process. An early involvement
by the recovery agencies will allow the needs of those affected to be quickly
identified in order to minimize the long term distress caused by the disaster. It may
also help to reduce costs and timeframes significantly.
