Disasters and Long Term Economic Sustainability A Perspective on Sierra Leone...Global Risk Forum GRFDavos
The document discusses factors that increase disaster vulnerability in Sierra Leone and may impact its economic sustainability following the Ebola outbreak. It analyzes 77 sources to identify key themes like education, poverty, health, corruption, and economic impacts. Sierra Leone has experienced civil conflict, epidemics, floods, landslides and other natural disasters. Poverty is widespread, hampering disaster resilience and economic growth. The analysis found correlations between these issues and calls for integrated disaster risk management and strengthened cooperation between organizations working in Sierra Leone.
1. The OECD High Level Risk Forum reviewed the risk of flooding from the Seine River in Paris. A flood in Paris could impact over 5 million people and cause economic damages between 3 to 30 billion Euros.
2. Better coordination of flood prevention policies across different government levels could reduce disaster impacts. There are opportunities to develop an ambitious resilience strategy, including improving flood risk governance and defining long-term financing for prevention.
3. Recommendations include ensuring linkages across flood prevention efforts, defining a clear vision and responsibilities, and improving risk knowledge, urban planning resilience, and infrastructure protection. Developing a strategic financial framework that maximizes coherence could help catalyze existing prevention resources.

This document summarizes key points from an OECD report on risk communication by governments and the role of social media in crisis communication. It discusses how effective risk communication is important for public trust, costs, and policy learning. Risk communication systems should include stakeholders, focus on prevention, and facilitate two-way information sharing using new technologies like social media. Social media can help spread information faster than traditional media, though it also presents challenges around speed of response, misinformation, and message confusion. The report identifies 12 good practices for governments to develop multi-layered social media strategies in partnership with citizens and traditional media.

Untangling the Drivers of Disaster Resilience Developing a Context, Capacity ...Global Risk Forum GRFDavos
The document presents a framework called the Context Capacity and Performance Model of Local Government Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). It aims to understand the drivers and barriers to DRR action by local governments. The model hypothesizes relationships between the context local governments operate in, their capacities for DRR, and their performance and action. An expert survey was conducted to validate the model and found experts had varying opinions, with context and capacity seen as equally influential, and all capacities viewed as similarly important, though financial capacity was overestimated and policy context was underestimated. More research is needed, including broader expert and local government surveys, and case studies applying the model.
The document presents a seismic risk assessment model for a hospital's emergency department (ED). The model includes physical, functional, and patient-oriented submodels linked together. The physical submodel uses structural analysis to determine floor accelerations and drift from ground motions. The functional submodel assesses loss of functionality to examination and operating rooms. The patient-oriented submodel models patient flow through the ED and calculates performance indices based on waiting times. The full model is used to predict ED performance in an earthquake scenario and provide a seismic risk analysis framework.

Machine learning is a course that teaches computers how to learn tasks without being explicitly programmed. For example, a computer can learn to identify patients with heart disease from their medical information. Students will complete three projects applying machine learning techniques like decision trees, neural networks, and automatic programming to datasets. The projects aim to provide hands-on experience with machine learning and compare different methods. Students will select a dataset and problem to work on for each project. Course grading is based mostly on the project work.
This document provides an overview of various information retrieval models and techniques used in search engines, including:
- Boolean, vector space, probabilistic models like BM25, and language models are described as older retrieval models.
- Learning to rank uses machine learning techniques to optimize ranking functions using features and training data.
- Relevance feedback, query likelihood models, and pseudo-relevance feedback are discussed as techniques for improving retrieval effectiveness by incorporating user feedback.
This document summarizes a research paper about using decision-tree learning for negotiation rules in multi-agent systems. The paper proposes using a negotiation-based framework for supply chain management where agent roles are implemented by software agents. It experiments with using decision-tree learning to extract negotiation rules from sample data to improve agents' negotiation behavior over time, similar to how human negotiators learn. The results show decision-tree learning can effectively learn rules for activities like negotiation when the data and samples are designed properly. Future work aims to expand this to a more complex multi-agent system with many interacting agents.

GRF Davos aims at reducing vulnerability for all types of risks and disasters to protect life, property, environment, critical infrastructure and all means of business for the worldwide community on a sustainable basis.
The Global Risk Forum GRF Davos aims to reduce vulnerability to risks and disasters through three pillars: the Risk Academy for knowledge sharing and education, International Disaster and Risk Conferences for meetings on risk management, and an online Platform for Networks to exchange knowledge. The main goals are to bridge science and practice, promote worldwide knowledge exchange, provide solutions and good practices in risk management and climate change adaptation, and manage a decision-maker network. The International Disaster and Risk Conferences in Davos bring over 1200 participants from over 90 countries together to discuss key issues in 99 sessions over 3 days.
An Experience Designing a National Research Agenda on Disasters Risk ReductionGlobal Risk Forum GRFDavos
In 2000, Venezuela created a national research program on disaster risk reduction following a devastating disaster in 1999 and a new policy prioritizing science and technology. Over eight months, the program brought together 150 experts from 90 institutions across various fields to identify priority research areas. This resulted in a research agenda with 10 thematic lines, including education, vulnerability assessment, and risk management. The program funded 55 research projects over 7 years with an estimated $4.5 million investment.
The document provides information about the 4th International Disaster and Risk Conference (IDRC Davos 2012) being held from August 26-30, 2012 in Davos, Switzerland. The conference will focus on integrative risk management and building resilience. It will bring together over 100 countries and various stakeholders to discuss trends in risks and disasters, developing new frameworks after the Hyogo Framework for Action ends in 2015, and key issues for future disaster risk reduction. The Chairman, Walter J. Ammann, welcomes participants and thanks sponsors. It also includes the programs, speakers, and various events at the conference.
This document provides an overview of disaster loss data collection and registration methods. It discusses the definition of disasters and debates around their natural or human-caused nature. It introduces DesInventar as a methodology for collecting disaster loss data at the national and local levels. Databases like EM-DAT and those maintained by insurance companies are mentioned, but they often lack sub-national data or consistent methodologies for comparison. Registering disaster losses is key to understanding risk and informing disaster risk reduction efforts.

The International Risk Governance Council (IRGC) is a non-profit organization that works to improve understanding and governance of global risks. It provides decision-makers with tools and guidelines for risk management. IRGC brings together experts from government, business, academia and civil society to research emerging risks, share knowledge, and foster international cooperation on risk governance best practices. Some of its priority areas include energy policy, biotechnology regulation, and managing cyber and digital risks. IRGC aims to help organizations and governments worldwide enhance their ability to anticipate, prevent and respond to threats in an increasingly uncertain world.
The Second World Disaster Management Congress will be held from November 12-15, 2014 in Hyderabad, India. It is organized by Disaster Management Initiatives for Civil Society and will bring together over 1,000 delegates from 100 countries. The Congress will consist of 8 plenary sessions, 28 thematic sessions structured around 10 clusters, and presentations on sharing knowledge and experiences in disaster risk management. It aims to discuss developing a post-HFA framework and priorities for the region to feed into the new global framework for disaster reduction.
This document summarizes a presentation on building disaster-resilient communities. It notes that while natural disasters in the past year killed 20,000 people and caused $131 billion in economic losses, many nations spend more on disaster relief than risk reduction. For example, in Australia $50 million is spent annually on risk reduction but $560 million on post-disaster recovery. The document advocates for greater investment in risk reduction measures like early warning systems and building codes, which can reduce losses and reliance on disaster spending. It describes an initiative by the Principles for Sustainable Insurance to evaluate risk reduction strategies and work with stakeholders to better manage disaster risks.

The document discusses issues related to higher education and accreditation systems for engineering programs. It provides background on challenges facing higher education, including rapid changes in knowledge and technology. Quality assurance and accreditation systems are important for regulating education standards. The document examines accreditation criteria from the ABET system in the US and the EUR-ACE system in Europe. While these systems evaluate criteria like curriculum and student outcomes, the document notes they do not sufficiently address topics related to disaster risk management, which will be an important subject for engineers to study given increasing risks from natural hazards and industrial accidents. The document suggests accreditation standards could be improved by integrating more interdisciplinary teaching and dedicated courses on disaster risk reduction.
