Diagnosis of the relative failure of disaster risk reduction in the modern world and proposal for a cure - at least regarding disaster response, if not also prevention.
Will major emergencies in the future be anything like those of the past? To what extent can we derive lessons from past disasters that will help us deal with future ones? This presentation explores these questions.
THE “BEST SOLUTION SET” IS THE FRAMEWORK OF DISASTER RESILIENCE. To anticipate and plan for the full spectrum of what can happen, and build capacity FOR preparedness, protection, early warning, emergency response, and recovery in every community. To inform, educate, train, and build equity in all sectors of the community. Powerpoint courtesy of Dr Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction

Una previsione del fabbisogno del futuro rispetto alla necessita' di una risposta forte contro i disastri. Due sono i messaggi: (1) dato i rischi che si materializzeranno, avremo bisogno di una protezione civile che e' un ordine di magnitudo piu' forte di quella attuale; (2) dovremo combattere contro la "realta' fabbricata" di false informazioni.
Verso una cultura di prevenzione e mitigazione, ma nello stesso tempo verso la preservazione delle culture umane daglil effetti depredanti dei disastri.

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.

9. Report of the Midterm Review of the Implementation of the
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030
"However, at the midpoint of the implementation of the
2015 agreements, progress has stalled and, in some
cases, reversed. This has resulted not only from the
impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, but also from
short- versus long-termism, weakened multilateralism,
disconnects between the real and the financial
economies, rising inequality, and barriers between risk
science, perception and risk-informed decision-making."

Head of the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction

15. Some possible high-impact, low-probability events
• VEI7 volcanic eruption
- 'volcanic winter', collapse of agriculture*
• magnitude 9 earthquake and tsunami in Tokyo-to-
Kobe region
• major nuclear radiation emission
- with or without blast
• proliferating technological failure
- toppling dominoes
• Carrington space-weather event (or larger)

25. If you want to understand the
risks to critical infrastructure, you
need to understand all four of its
dimensions: physical, technological,
cyber and social.
Critical infrastructure is the main
vehicle by which disasters
produce cascading impacts. To a greater
or lesser extent, all modern disasters are
cascading events.

apologies) from studies of gender,
race and culture
Intersection of:
• forms of disaster causality
• different kinds of disaster and crisis
• disaster and its context
• disaster and social circumstances
29. The approach must be
holistic [inclusive, wide-
ranging] and realistic
[feet on the ground].

47. Why algorithms fail:-
• lack of knowledge of the conditions on the
ground
• lack of understanding of the dynamics of
emergencies
• lack of understanding of the role of situational
awareness and the shared common operating
picture
• over-reliance on hindsight, which is not present
during an emergency
• field commanders would not rely on algorithms
49. The reality of life in modern Europe:-
• an flourishing ultra-violent, out-of-control
drug-related black economy
• a constantly increasing wealth differential
• poorly functioning democracies seriously
under threat
• massive, highly unstable external threats
• weak organisation against threats and
hazards
50. We need to exercise foresight:-
• greater magnitude and frequency of
meteorological events (climate change)
• proliferating technological failure
• unplanned mass migration
• exceptionally large geophysical events
• intersection of conflict (or other
agents) and disasters
• emerging hazards and threats
