This document discusses the need for a clearly defined national disaster management policy in Pakistan. It outlines the main elements that should be included in such a policy, including defining the disaster threats, assessing available resources, and outlining organizational arrangements for prevention, preparedness, response, recovery and development. The process of policy definition should consider factors like the disaster threat, likely effects, resources, and how the policy interlocks with other national policies like development and environment protection. The document provides examples of Pakistan's hazards like earthquakes, floods, tsunamis and discusses the country's disaster context due to factors like climate, geography and vulnerability. It outlines Pakistan's pre-2005 and post-2005 disaster management systems and arrangements.

Lesson
Week Two – The National Preparedness System
In March of 2011, the executive branch of the federal government issued Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) 8. This directive described how the nation will prepare for those threats and hazards that constitute the greatest risk to national security. PPD 8 was followed in the fall of that same year with the publication of the National Preparedness Goal (which was updated in 2015), and then a month later with the National Preparedness System (NPS). Similar to the term “risk” that was focused upon in our first lesson, “prepare” or “preparedness” are key terms as well as it relates to the underlying principles of this entire course. In order to properly examine the National Preparedness System, these terms as used within the context of the NPS must be understood.
As previously noted, we directed attention upon the notion of risk last week. We should remain cognizant that risk refers to the overall consequences represented by various types of threats and hazards. The analysis of risk rests within an all-hazards system and approach, wherein all dangers to a community are examined. In addition, these dangers are prioritized, not on preconceived notions of importance, but upon the actual, detrimental impact they have on a community. Acts of terrorism and of other man-made incidents of violence must be considered alongside natural and technological hazards as well; prioritized in a manner where preparedness and mitigation efforts can be appropriately discussed, formulated, and implemented. In essence, through its various components, the National Preparedness System offers a very consistent and dependable methodology that can be applied to a host of activities; those that range from aiding the decision making process to identifying and allocating resources (DHS, 2011).
So just as the NPS requires us to take a broad view of those elements that determine risk, it similarly requires us to take a wide-ranging view of preparedness as well. In essence, preparedness refers to a community’s ability to respond immediately to a disastrous event (remember, disaster events range from acts of terrorism to industrial accidents to natural disasters). Preparedness also refers to the community’s ability to recover from the event; and preparedness refers to all of those actions taken by the community to either prevent the event, or to mitigate the consequences of that event.
Within the National Preparedness System, the National Preparedness Goal (2015) defines the system’s measure of success as “A secure and resilient nation with capabilities required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respon ...

Module 3 Overview
Mitigation and Preparedness
The discipline of mitigation provides the means for reducing disaster impacts. Mitigation is defined as a sustained action to reduce or eliminate risk to people and property from hazards and their effects. Preparedness within the field of emergency management can be defined not only as a state of readiness to respond to a disaster, crisis or any other type of emergency situation, but also a theme throughout most aspects of emergency management. In this module, you will describe the variety of mitigation tools available to planners. You will understand the impediments to mitigation and other associated problems that exist. You will explain how the Federal Government and other agencies and organizations support mitigation. Different mitigation measures that are performed to address actual disaster risk will be addressed.
In addition, you will understand why preparedness is considered the “building block” of emergency management. The differences that exist between hazard mitigation and disaster preparedness will be discussed. Evaluation planning is important and will be focused upon in this module. The different emergency management exercise types will be identified. Training and equipment for first responders will be described. Lastly, you will learn how businesses and nongovernmental organizations prepare for emergencies.

Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
2. THE PURPOSE
Need to clearly define a national disaster management policy;
Process for defining this policy;
Main elements of such a policy; and
Arrangements for monitoring and reviewing the national policy
3. CLEAR DEFINITION OF NATIONAL
POLICY
Clear definition of national disaster management policy is essential if a country is to establish
and maintain adequate arrangements to deal with all aspects of its disaster threat.
This applies to all levels of the national structure and organization—that is, from the national
government to the local government or community level.
If such a policy does not exist, arrangements to deal with disaster will be ill-defined and
inadequate.
Consequently, loss of material and human resources will arise; the nation, as a whole, will suffer.
4. CLEAR DEFINITION OF NATIONAL
POLICY
A STRONG
AND CLEAR
POLICY
OFFERS MOST,
IF NOT ALL,
OF THE
FOLLOWING
ADVANTAGES:
Demonstrated lead from government in disaster-related affairs;
Foundation for appropriate legislation and associated regulations;
Basis for sound organization and clear allocation of responsibilities;
Overall direction for ensuring optimum use of resources against a
carefully assessed threat; and
National competence and self-reliance that is likely to engender
optimum international assistance when the need arises.
5. THE PROCESS OF POLICY
DEFINITION
To define a national disaster management policy, it is necessary to consider
certain main factors or pillars. For most countries, the following will usually
apply:
•Defining accurately the disaster threat;
•Identifying the effects which are likely to be caused by the threat;
•Assessing the resources available to deal with the threat;
•Organizational arrangements which are required to prepare for, respond to, and recover from
disaster events;
•Defining how a national disaster management policy interlocks with other aspects of national
policy, especially those concerned with national development and protection of the environment;
•Any other specific national factors which may be applicable
6. THE DISASTER THREAT AND
LIKELY EFFECTS
Information on the disaster threat and on the effects likely to arise from disaster is contained in
Lecture 2.
However, for purposes of defining national policy, these two aspects would need to be carefully
reviewed.
This is necessary to ensure that a correct relationship is established between the threat and its
effects on the one hand, and the policy itself on the other hand.
For instance, from a purely disaster management viewpoint, the most effective countermeasure
to a flood threat may be a policy of prevention based on an extensive flood control system.
However, when it comes to national policy, preventive measures of this kind may not be
financially feasible.
7. ASSESSING AVAILABLE
RESOURCES
It is no use framing a national disaster management policy which is beyond the capacity of
available resources.
The reverse sense applies; that is, national policy has to be balanced with the various
existing resources in terms of equipment, facilities, and personnel. In assessing resources,
it is essential to consider the widest range of both government organizations and NGOs.
It is also reasonable to take into account resources which are likely to be forthcoming from
international sources.
8. ORGANIZATIONAL
ARRANGEMENTS
It is generally accepted that the primary responsibility for dealing with disaster must rest
with national government.
In addition, an important disaster management concept is to ensure optimum use of
existing resources, the majority of which tend to be under government direction.
It follows, therefore, that the organizational arrangements needed for dealing with disaster
(both before, during, and after a disaster) are best based on the government structure.
Indeed, experience has shown that it is neither wise nor effective to try to switch to some
special organizational arrangements for disaster purposes.
9. ORGANIZATIONAL
ARRANGEMENTS
Most countries, therefore, use their existing government structure as the basis for dealing
with disaster.
They then augment this by establishing such specialized agencies or sections as may be
deemed necessary; for example, a National Disaster Council (NDC) for policy purposes, a
National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) for day-to-day working affairs, and
appropriate sections at lower levels of government.
Thus, in framing a national disaster management policy, these organizational aspects must
be carefully considered and included in the relevant policy statement
10. INTERRELATION OF NATIONAL DISASTER
MANAGEMENT POLICY WITH OTHER NATIONAL
POLICIES
It is well understood and recognized that governments in most countries are, of necessity,
concerned with a whole range of major policy areas.
These usually include economic and social development, health, education, and so on.
Such major policy areas will, necessarily, be prioritized from a government standpoint.
It is unrealistic, therefore, to expect that disaster management policy will be prioritized,
for instance, in allocating funding and resources that cannot be positively justified
Therefore, those responsible for drafting and formulating a national disaster policy must
aim to achieve an appropriate balance and interrelationship with other national policies
11. INTERRELATION OF NATIONAL DISASTER
MANAGEMENT POLICY WITH OTHER NATIONAL
POLICIES
Two areas of government policy tend to have mutual interests with disaster management. They are:
National development
•Disaster and national development are, in reality, closely related.
•This especially applies if the disaster threat is significant. For instance, national development planning needs to consider the
possible effects that disaster may have on the various programs and projects involved.
•In turn, however, such programs and projects may affect the nation’s ability to cope with disaster because while some of
them may reduce risk and vulnerability, others can actually increase it.
•In addition, disaster events often open subsequent possibilities of improving various aspects of progress and development.
This is known as the “disaster-as-a benefit syndrome,”.
•These improvements and benefits may be possible in various fields of activity; for instance, building standards, transport
systems, town planning, and so on.
12. INTERRELATION OF NATIONAL DISASTER
MANAGEMENT POLICY WITH OTHER NATIONAL
POLICIES
Protection of
the
environment
Widespread international concern has prompted most national
governments to direct particular attention toward protecting the
environment.
Since much disaster management activity is concerned with environmental
aspects (e.g., flood, drought, cyclone) it is sensible to maintain close
collaboration between disaster management and environmental policies.
Indeed, some countries are already moving toward a single integrated
policy for disaster and the environment.
13. MAIN ELEMENTS OF NATIONAL
POLICY
Prevention Measures aimed at impeding the occurrence of a disaster and/or
preventing such an occurrence having harmful effects on communities.
Constructing a dam or levee to control floodwaters is an example of a
preventive measure. Controlled burning off in a bushfire prone area prior to
the high-risk season is another example.
Mitigation Action taken (usually in the form of specific programs) to reduce the effects
of a disaster on a nation or community. For instance, developing and
applying building codes can reduce damage and loss in the event of
earthquakes and cyclones. The term normally implies that while it may be
possible to prevent some disaster effects, other effects will persist and can
be modified or reduced if appropriate action is taken.
14. MAIN ELEMENTS OF NATIONAL
POLICY
Preparedness Measures which enable governments, communities, and
individuals to respond rapidly and effectively to disaster
situations. Preparedness measures include formulating viable
counter-disaster plans, maintaining inventories of resources,
and training of personnel.
Response Response measures are usually those taken immediately prior
to and following disaster impact. They are directed toward
saving life, protecting property, and dealing with the immediate
damage and other effects caused by the disaster.
15. MAIN ELEMENTS OF NATIONAL
POLICY
Recovery The process by which communities and the nation are assisted
in returning to their proper levels of functioning following a
disaster. The recovery process can be very protracted, taking
5–10 years or even more. Recovery is usually taken as including
other aspects such as restoration and reconstruction.
Development The progressive advancement and modernization of societies,
in this case as it interrelates with the effects of disaster and
with disaster management.
16. A POSSIBLE POLICY FORMAT
In summarizing what has been said concerning the main elements of
national policy, a possible policy is given on the following slide.
However, the method by which the policy is issued is a matter for
individual national choice. For instance, it might be issued by:
• Government decree,
• Government statement,
• Legislation,
• Regulation, and
• Other means.
