Now is a good time to make our world disaster resilient. We can do it through the convergence of realistic thinking and strategic actions that are based on improving community preparedness, protection, response, and recovery. Presentation courtesy of Dr. Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction
The context of providing public health services to disaster affected populations has changed over the past 20 years. Since the early 1990s, the number of humanitarian assistance operations in failed states has risen. Conditions for relief workers in many countries in the midst of civil war and other fragile or failed states are unsafe. the importance of security training prior to deployment cannot be over emphasized

A recent slideshow I gave - for an industry association wishing to understand a little more about social media.
PPT is a collection of things I have come across. Also see my slides show on Measuring Social Media.
At Cardio we work actively in partnerships across your organisation to provide critical cultural insight. Our goal is to identify, surface, engage, connect and practically apply all the talent within your organisation to help you create your own internal ‘Intelligent Client’ consultancy capacity. Once you have enhanced your own in-house capability, we may be the last external consultants you’ll ever need.
TOWARDS GLOBAL DISASTER RESILIENCE: Every nation has dozens of “windows of opportunity” after a new disaster occurs to use the updated books of knowledge for innovative capacity building. Presentation courtesy of Dr. Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction
CONDITIONS ON DAYS SIX AND SEVEN (Nov. 4-5) post passage of Hurricane Sandy
- Over 1.3 million residents still without electricity, waiting in cold, damp houses without cell phone service, refusing to go to heated shelters because of fear of looting if they leave their homes.
- Fuel oil spills in New York Harbor.
NOR’EASTER’S NEGATIVE IMPACTS EXACERBATE RECOVERY
• Wind of up to 50 mph (85 kph) in New Jersey and New York, with downed trees and power outages from a blanket of heavy, wet snow
• Prolonged power outages

War has devastating implications for families, communities, cultures, economies, and state infrastructure. Similarly, the last decade has seen an increase in the number of attacks against health workers in conflict zones and unstable environments. Unfortunately, these attacks have grave consequences for local populations which often rely on foreign aid programs for their health and well-being. As such, this paper will examine why aid-workers have increasingly been targeted for abductions, ambushes, assassinations, and various forms of intimidation. Furthermore, examples of terminated health programs, as well as populations served by current medical and humanitarian interventions, will be provided to impart a sense of magnitude and importance of health programs to the reader. Lastly, suggestions will be presented which could serve to minimize aid-workers’ risk and exposure to acts of violence in the field.
Hurricane Sandy: a $300 billion storm; October 24, 2012. Sandy, 2012’s ninth hurricane, became a huge storm with wind and rain bands reaching out 500 km or more from the storm center, producing 15-50 cm of rain and flooding in Jamaica, Bermuda, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Cuba, New Jersey, and New York.

Forecast of the national oceanic and atmospheric administration from August to December 2013: 13-20 named storms with 7-10 becoming hurricanes. Presentation courtesy of Dr. Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction
The most powerful typhoon of the 2013 season approached the northern Philippines and southern Taiwan on Friday (Sept. 20) with wind reaching 300 kph (184 mph) and torrential rain. POTENTIAL DISASTER AGENTS OF USAGI:
* Usagi has a diameter of 1,100 kilometers (660 miles), with outer rain bands extending across the main northern Philippine island of Luzon and southern Taiwan.
* Forecasters predict 24-hour rainfall accumulation of 500 millimeters (nearly 20 inches) near its center.
A disaster is a window of oppor-tunity to fix the two weak links in every community’s disaster resilience programme: transfer and mplementation of knowledge. Presentation courtesy of Dr. Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction
Everyone helping everyone in massive spontaneous search and rescue efforts. Rescue efforts hampered by fact that moore’s two local medical facilities were badly damaged. Presentation courtesy of Dr Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction
Implementation is for many the most difficult part of strategic management. This presentation gives advice on implementing in a period of incremental change.
