Tornadoes are caused by collisions of cold descending and warm ascending air masses. The main tornado season in the USA is late winter through midsummer. However, tornadoes can occur anytime conditions are right. Past tornado disasters have caused extensive damage and loss of life. Examples from 2008 are described, including tornado outbreaks in several southern states that killed 54 people, and tornadoes in Iowa and Minnesota that struck during the deadliest season in a decade. While the Midwest experiences fewer tornadoes than regions like Tornado Alley, its tornadoes are more likely to occur at night and in colder months. Lessons from past disasters emphasize the importance of early warning, wind-engineered buildings, safe rooms, timely emergency response,

Every day the civilians of Syria are paying the price as the crisis deepens. Ordinary men, women and children continue to be caught up in the violence and have few alternatives as to where to seek refuge. On 4 December, nine children and a teacher were reportedly killed when a school in Wafideen, north-east of Damascus, was hit by mortar fire. On 26 November, ten children were killed in Deir al Asafir, east of Damascus, as bombs hit a playground. The UN continues to call for respect of international humanitarian law to protect civilians in conflict. Many children have been unable to attend school for the past 18 months, due to on-going violence and insecurity. School attendance is very low in some governorates. In Aleppo for example, where fighting has been relentless over recent months, an estimated 14 per cent of children are able to go to school, according to the Minister of Education. Children who have been internally displaced are most at risk of dropping out or missing school. School enrolment among children in collective shelters varies and many children are reported to have dropped out due to insecurity and complications related to displacement
Research provides needed evidence to advocate for strong laws and programs to combat gender-based violence. Yet research capacity is lagging in many parts of the world including Africa. In response, ICRW, the Gender-based Violence Prevention Network and the South African Medical Research Council undertook a capacity building program that paired NGOs with research institutions in the region. Our experience shows that partnering violence prevention organizations with researchers has strengthened the formers’ skills to carry out relevant action research, and directed evidence into the hands of those best positioned to use it, namely activists and program implementers.
We have been asked to speak to many entrepreneurial, student and business groups on what strategies we have used to become successful. We hope they help you.
The Chaparrastique volcano, which is located in the San Miguel municipality about 140 km (87 miles) east of San Salvador, the capital, spewed ash over a wide area known for its coffee plantations. After erupting 26 times in the last 500 years, Chaparrastique is considered the most active of El Salvador’s 23 active volcanoes. THE KEYS TO RESILIENCE and recovery from volcanic disasters: 1) know the eruptive history of your region’s volcanoes; 2) be prepared; 3) have a warning system; 4) evacuate; 5) learn from the experience and start over
