This document discusses global disaster preparedness and response. It defines key terms like "disaster" and discusses disaster trends globally, in the US, and Philippines. Specific disasters like typhoons and earthquakes are examined. The document also defines mass casualty incidents and discusses the different phases of medical response. Urban search and rescue teams and survival statistics in disasters are overviewed. Finally, the Hyogo Framework for Action, an international plan to reduce disaster risk, is summarized.
The document summarizes the community-level disaster response system in the Philippines. It notes that the Philippines experienced 24 natural disasters in a year, making it the hardest hit country. It then discusses the prevailing view that disaster management has not been a high priority for the Philippine government and responses have been reactive. However, communities developed coping mechanisms and citizen-based approaches to disaster management. The document advocates transforming communities from risk to resilience by building capacity and supporting people's organizations through networking and experience sharing.

This document summarizes the key issues around climate change and disaster preparedness in the Asia-Pacific region. It notes that the number of natural disasters has increased dramatically since 1950, with 90% related to extreme weather. The poor are most vulnerable to disasters, as they suffer the greatest losses and have the lowest capacity to cope. Many countries in the Asia-Pacific lie in hazard-prone areas and experience frequent disasters like typhoons, floods, droughts, landslides, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes. Disasters can severely impact development and leave lasting psychological impacts.

4 Cyclone Disaster Preparedness And ResponseEcumene
This document discusses cyclone disaster preparedness and response in Bangladesh. It outlines the Cyclone Preparedness Program (CPP), which aims to minimize loss of life and property from cyclones. The CPP disseminates early warnings, assists with evacuation and shelter, and provides first aid and relief. It has a network of community volunteers who use flags, megaphones, and sirens to spread warnings. The CPP also builds disaster-resilient infrastructure like core houses and life-saving rafts. Going forward, the document calls for further strengthening capacity and protecting the most vulnerable from disasters.
This document discusses disasters, their classification, and disaster management. It defines a disaster as a serious disruption that causes destruction beyond local capabilities. Disasters can be natural, man-made, or hybrid. They are classified by level of damage from minor to massive. Disaster management involves prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery phases. Key aspects include community assessment, threat identification, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The goal is to minimize harm through coordinated multi-departmental response.
Nurses play a key role in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. They are often first responders who provide immediate medical care when disasters strike. Disaster nursing involves adapting nursing skills and knowledge to meet health needs with limited resources. Nurses must be competent in areas like emergency management, health promotion, and coordinating care with other providers. International standards help guide disaster nursing practice and competencies. Field hospitals can expand local healthcare capacity during disasters by providing early emergency care, follow-up treatment, and temporary medical facilities until damaged local infrastructure is repaired.

This document outlines a lecture on disaster nursing. It begins with an introduction that defines key terms like disaster and discusses types of natural disasters. It then covers topics like patterns of mortality and injury from disasters, the phases of disaster response, and the roles and responsibilities of nurses during disasters. The document emphasizes that nurses are on the frontlines during disasters but receive little disaster-related training. It promotes developing a online "Supercourse" to educate nurses worldwide on disaster nursing concepts and preparedness. The overall goal is to build global awareness of the importance of disaster nursing.
There are three main stages of disaster: preparedness, response, and recovery. Preparedness involves planning and preparation activities before a disaster. Response refers to evacuation, shelter, and care for victims during and immediately after a disaster. Recovery is the longest stage and includes reconstructing infrastructure and providing long-term support that may take weeks, months, or years.
This document discusses disaster preparedness and management in various settings including organizing drills. It begins by defining disaster and outlining the aims and objectives of disaster preparedness. It then describes the principles of disaster management and identifies different types of disasters. It explains the phases of disaster management and roles of nurses. It also discusses organizing disaster drills and classifying disasters based on their level and type (natural vs man-made).
This document outlines disaster preparedness and emergency response plans for the Philippines, specifically the island of Miagao. It establishes councils at the national, municipal, and barangay (smallest administrative division) levels to reduce risks from natural disasters like storms, earthquakes, landslides, and tsunamis which frequently impact the archipelago. The barangay of Guibongan's committee is reconstituted due to risks of water-related incidents and vehicular accidents. Evacuation centers are designated and emergency procedures are provided, including conducting awareness drives, not panicking, applying first aid, informing authorities, and assessing damage after an emergency occurs.
This PowerPoint presentation from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration on Developmental Disabilities, provides information for families about preparing for emergencies.

It then discusses types of disasters, recent disasters in India, and levels of disaster classification. Key elements of disaster nursing are identified as hazards, vulnerability, capacity, and risk. The document outlines principles of triage and its aims. Phases of disaster management are discussed including preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. International organizations involved in disaster relief are identified. The document emphasizes the goals and principles of disaster nursing in providing care and meeting needs during and after disasters.
This document discusses disaster nursing and classifies different types of disasters. It defines a disaster as an event that causes damage, destruction, loss of life, and deterioration of health services beyond the normal capacity of the affected community. Disasters are classified as natural (e.g. floods, earthquakes), man-made (e.g. fires, wars), technological (e.g. industrial accidents), or complex emergencies. The document outlines the phases of a disaster from pre-impact planning to post-impact recovery. It discusses challenges for nursing in disasters and the importance of preparation, training, and an all-hazards approach to planning.
The document discusses key aspects of the human resources and population of the Philippines. It provides data on population distribution by region, gender, and age. Some key points are that the population serves as the driver of economic development, rapid population growth can deplete natural resources, and a country's composition and size of population impacts policies. Literacy rates are high at around 94% but unemployment remains a problem, contributing to migration within the country.
The goal of disaster nursing is to ensure the highest level of care is provided throughout all phases of a disaster. Disaster nursing follows the DISASTER acronym - Detection, Incident command, Safety and security, Assess, Support, Triage and treatment, Evaluation, and Recovery. Principles include preventing disasters, minimizing and preventing further casualties, rescuing victims, providing first aid and evacuation, medical care, and reconstruction. Disasters are classified as natural or man-made. Policies for emergency management include triage protocols, ABCDE care, trauma management, and quality disaster services.
The document discusses the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010 and provides context on disaster risks in the Philippines. It notes that the Philippines is third highest in the world in exposure to natural hazards due to its geographical location. It then provides statistics on natural disasters from 2000-2011 showing increasing casualties over time. The rest of the document discusses specific recent disasters, earthquake facts, the disaster management system, and strategies for earthquake preparedness including building evacuation plans and conducting earthquake drills.
2019-10-02 Posteruptive thermoelastic deflation of intruded magma in Usu Volc...Yosuke Aoki
This study analyzed ground deformation around Usu volcano in Japan using SAR images from 1992-2017. Deformation was concentrated near lava domes from previous eruptions in 2000, 1977, and 1943. The observed deformation was explained by thermal contraction of the intruded lava domes. The inferred thermal diffusivity was larger than expected, especially shortly after eruptions, possibly due to hydrothermal circulation effectively cooling the fresh magma. Future work could model hydrothermal flow beneath Usu volcano.
This document summarizes different types of natural disasters including earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, floods, wildfires, tornadoes, avalanches, and typhoons. It also discusses man-made disasters such as wars, riots, accidents, nuclear bombings, and terrorist incidents. Specific examples of different natural disasters are provided such as avalanches that occurred in locations like the Italian Alps, Austria, and Afghanistan. Cyclones, droughts, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions are also described in more detail with examples given for each type of disaster. The document concludes with discussing preparedness measures that can be taken to help mitigate disasters which include evaluation, assured
Climate change, Adaptation and Farmers perception solomonadd
This document summarizes a presentation on climate change, adaptation, and farmers' perceptions in Bahir Dar Zuria District, Ethiopia. It provides evidence of climate change globally and in Ethiopia through increasing temperatures, rising CO2 levels, shrinking glaciers and ice caps, and more frequent droughts. Analysis of climate trends in the district show increasing maximum temperatures, increasing minimum temperatures, and decreasing rainfall. Farmers reported perceptions of increased temperatures, decreased and late rainfall. While farmers are adapting through practices like crop diversification, their efforts are constrained by lack of resources and services. The conclusions are that Ethiopia is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts on agriculture and that coordinated action is needed.
This document provides statistics and information about various natural disasters and their impacts. It discusses 11 natural disasters - earthquakes, hurricanes, lightning, fire, tsunamis, tornados, volcanoes, blizzards, floods, heat waves, and drought. For each disaster, it provides data on frequency, magnitude scales, death tolls, economic costs, and other impacts. It notes that while earthquakes and hurricanes cause significant loss of life, fire kills more Americans than all natural disasters combined each year.

2019-10-07 Small-scale deformation of active volcanoes measured by Synthetic ...Yosuke Aoki
The document summarizes research on measuring small-scale deformation at active volcanoes using synthetic aperture radar (SAR). It discusses studies of deformation at Usu Volcano and Mt. Asama in Japan. For Usu Volcano, InSAR data show subsidence concentrated around previous eruption vents that is explained by thermal contraction of intruded lava domes. At Mt. Asama, InSAR reveals flank instability dominated by subsidence and eastward motion in an area corresponding to a historical lava flow, possibly indicating flank instability rather than thermoelastic deformation.
(a) Tectonic InSAR has provided insights into earthquake processes over the past 3 decades since its beginnings in the 1980s. Measurements from over 150 earthquakes have shown that ruptures can be more complex than expected and that surface slip is a poor indicator of slip at depth. Earthquakes have also been found to trigger other quakes dynamically or be structurally controlled.
(b) Interseismic strain accumulation along faults can now be measured using large InSAR data stacks, finding focused strain that may be constant throughout the earthquake cycle. However, uncertainties remain about applicability in all regions.
(c) Postseismic deformation and aseismic slip transients exhibit complex spatial patterns but overall decay

Earthquake research on coral reefs, Sumatra - Talk by Prof Sieh, NTU-SST Prog...EarthObsSingapore
This document summarizes Kerry Sieh's research on earthquakes and tsunamis along the coast of Sumatra. Sieh studies sediment layers deposited by past tsunamis to reconstruct the earthquake history. Sieh has installed 48 GPS stations across Sumatra to measure tectonic deformation from earthquakes. Analysis of uplifted coral reefs and GPS data allowed Sieh to determine which parts of the megathrust fault ruptured in the 2004 earthquake and tsunami, and to forecast areas of increased risk. Sieh continues using these techniques to monitor the "Mentawai patch" of the fault and forecast future earthquakes.
2019-10-15 Small-scale deformation of active volcanoes measured by Yosuke Aoki
Small-scale deformation of active volcanoes was measured using synthetic aperture radar (SAR). SAR can detect deformation with high spatial resolution. At Usu volcano, deformation around past eruption sites was observed and explained by thermal contraction of intruded lava domes. Thermal modeling suggested hydrothermal circulation may enhance cooling. At Asama volcano, subsidence in the northeast flank and eastward motion in the southeast flank were observed between 2014-2018, possibly due to flank instability in the southeast. SAR provides insights into volcanic processes through measuring subtle surface deformation.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect

22. Mass Casualty Event
• An event in which the
number of casualties or the
rate of their arrival exceeds
the capability of the existing
medical staff to provide
quality medical treatment to
all injured.
23. Basic Assumptions
• Disaster and Mass Casualty Incidents occur “out of the
blue” or at a very short warning.
– ? No control
– ? Not ready in the right time and the right place.
• The name of the game- Organization, Management,
Command, Time Control.
– Planning and Training before the event.
– Planning and Management of Time
– Coordination and Transportation.
24. Based on experience:
• The name of the game in MCI is OCCCC:
– Organization
– Command
– Control
– Coordination between emergency agencies
– Communication
25. • True for most types of Mass Casualties and Disasters
except in:
– Toxicologic
• Occur unexpectedly
• Many casualties in a short time
• Bottlenecks
• Panic
• Require quick accumulation of forces and
resources.
26. What affects response?
• Number of casualties, severity and distribution
• Time until rescue and treatment
– Timing of the event
– Geographical location/ distance from hospital
– Evacuation Time and EMS quality of care.
• Hospital preparedness and organization
• Control and Cooperation between Emergency
Agencies
27. Conventional Mass Casualty in
Urban Areas
• Short duration
• Short distance = ambulance availability
• Scoop and Run= (AW and Bleeding)
28. Mass Casualty in Rural Areas
• Extended period of arrival
• Treatment according to PHTLS
• Evacuation according to medical priorities
• Helicopters- best means of transportation
29. EMS Steps in MCI
• First Response
• Casualty Allocation
• Triage
• PHTLS approach
• Allocation of casualties in a
designed treatment area
Gathering of commanders
and forces
• Evacuation
• Debriefing and lesson study
30. Flexibility
• The most important lesson:
– Work by Principles, not by Protocols.
• No two MCI’s are the same. Difference in:
– Time of Event
– Place of Event
– Number of Casualties
– Type and Severity of Casualties
– Number of Medical Teams
– Number of Hospitals in the Area
– Distance from Hospitals
– Number and Type of Evacuation Resources
31. Tip
• Dispatch and Control Centers and Teams should have:
• Easy to forget specific tasks when working under stress
or pressure.
32. Phases of Medical Activity in MCI
• 1. Immediate Phase
– Provide life saving treatment
• 2. Second Phase
– Gathering injured at treatment sites and concentrating
on providing care to casualties in need of urgent care.
• 3. Third Phase
– Preparation of casualties for evacuation
34. Medical Treatment at the Scene
• Airway Management
• Ventilation or Oxygen Supplementation
• Relief of Tension Pneumothorax
• Treatment massive bleeding wounds from
extremities
35. Roles of Medical Manager
• Provide solutions to operational/non-
medical problems.
• Initial report to level in charge:
– Location
– Type of event
– # casualties, etc
• Coordinate with senior medical personnel
at the scene and call for medical forces
36. Manager’s Actions
• Remove from danger
• Utilize forces and provide first aid to
victims
• Report to level in charge
• Join medical care providers
38. Organize Medical Response
• 2nd estimation of casualties; number;
location and continuing hazards.
• Define the access routes, evacuation
centers and evacuation routes.
• Divide the event area into sectors and
allocate teams to each sector.
• Perform initial search to locate casualties
40. Organize Medical Response (2)
• Isolating the
treatment area
• Demand more teams
and equipment for
the EMS center
• Define the location
and nature of the
treatment area (if
necessary)
41. Ambulance Evacuation Helicopter Evacuation
Third Phase
Casualties prepared for evacuation
and evacuated
43. • In all events, COORDINATION between acting agencies
is the most important factor.
• Without it, there is NO CHANCE of providing OPTIMAL
CARE
44. Practice makes Perfect
• Planning and practicing at calm times,
greatly increases the chance that forces
will collaborate and function well under
emergency conditions.
45. Testing and Plan Review
• Absolutely necessary!
– Football analogy
• Requires all participants to interact
• Identify where problems exist between different agencies
when must work together
• Does the plan work?
46. Survival Statistics
• 85-90% of those rescued who survive are
found within the 1st 24-48hrs.
• 90-95% of victims who survived are
rescued by civilian volunteers within the
first 24 hours.
• 10-25% of patients who die could have
been saved if reached in time.
• Preventable deaths occur in the first 6
hours.
47. Urban Search and Rescue teams
– Riverside County team 2 hours away by
car
– Earthquake occurs at 04:30
– Team not begin activities at site of
Northridge Meadows Apartment
collapse until 23:30
– Live victims already extricated
48. Urban Search and Rescue teams
• Oklahoma City Bombing 1995
• Multiple USAR teams dispatched
• Last survivor recovered from building 18
hours after explosion
• Number of survivors recovered by out-of-
state USAR teams:
• ZERO
49. Hyogo Framework for Action
• The first internationally accepted framework for DRR.
• Sets out an ordered sequence of objectives ( outcome-
strategic goals-priorities).
• A 10 year plan to make the world safer from natural
hazards.
