This document discusses natural disasters that occurred in India between 1997-2001. It defines a disaster and outlines several natural hazards that affected India including earthquakes, cyclones, tsunamis, floods, landslides, storms, and forest fires. Specific examples of disasters are provided, such as the 1997 Jabalpur earthquake, 1998 Malpa landslide, 1999 Orissa cyclone that killed 15,000 people, and the 2000 Mumbai landslide that killed 67. The conclusion states that while natural disasters cannot be stopped, vulnerability can be reduced, and in disaster-prone India, individuals should know how to protect themselves.
TYPHOON VONGFONG: A HUGE STORM. On Oct 7, in just 24 hours, Vongfong intensified from a CAT 2 storm to one with, 155 mph wind speeds, and an estimated central pressure of 908 millibars. The typhoon toppled trees, flooded streets and cut power to more than 60,000 homes. 35 people were reported injured in Okinawa and Kyushu, where 150,000 people were evacuated. Fifteen years ago, more than 10,000 people were killed when a cyclone hit roughly the same area, which lacked significant evacuation capability.

Droughts, flash floods, flooding from monsoonal rains, severe thunderstorms, earthquakes cyclones, landslides and other disasters that kill dozens of people every year in India. They would be front page news if they happened in America but in India are buried in the back pages of Indian newspapers because they occur so frequently. The death of 5,000 people from the December 2004 tsunami wasn’t as big a deal in India as might have been in other places. In 2001, India experienced an earthquake that left 25,000 dead. In 1999, a cyclone killed more than 3,500 people. Every year several hundred Indians die in monsoon floods.
Mark Twain once commented that Indians "are a curious people. With them all life seems to be sacred, excepted human life." On a flood one Indian newspaper editor told AP, “Floods don’t have any disaster value any more. It’s nothing new. Its an annual phenomena, so newspaper editors are indifferent. People have gotten immune to human disasters. It tragic but true.”
In the early 2000s, the Indian government promised to provide families $2,400 for each victim killed in a disaster provided the family show proof of death. In the majority of cases, families failed to collect the compensation payments because they couldn’t prove the victim was dead. Sometimes bodies are cremated before they are identified. For religious and health reasons, the dead are often cremated soon after a disaster occurs. The final death counts from natural disasters are often unknown.
Top 10 disasters in India are presented here
BEFORE INDEPENDENCE OF PAKISTAN
•
The pre 1947 era also saw some disasters that wrecked
havoc in western India (present day Pakistan).
•
Many cyclones were reported, but there estimated damage
is unconfirmed.
•
Following are those natural disasters, which have confirmed
data regarding the number of deaths and damage.
BALOCHISTAN EARTHQUAKE 1935
•
In 1935 at Quetta, a powerful earthquake rocked the city
and surrounding areas.
•
The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.7 on Richter Scale.
•
Due to unavailability of proper records it is said that
between 30,000 and 60,000 people died from the impact.
•
The natural disaster ranks as the 23rd most deadly
earthquake worldwide .
Earthquake is a violent tremor in the earth’s crust, sending out a series of shock waves in all directions from its place of origin or epicenter.
On the morning of January 26, 2001, the Nation’s 52nd Republic Day, a devastating earthquake occurred in the Kutch district of the state of Gujarat.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

12. The 1999 Orissa cyclone, also known as Cyclone 05B, and Paradip
cyclone, was the deadliest Indian Ocean tropical cyclone .The storm
made landfall just weeks after a Category 4 storm hit the same general
area.
A tropical depression formed over the Malay Peninsula on October 25. It
moved to the northwest and became a tropical storm on October 26. It
continued to strengthen into a cyclone on the 27th. On October 28, it
became a severe cyclone with a peak of 160 mph (260 km/h) winds. It
hit India the next day as a 155 mph (250 km/h) cyclone. It caused the
deaths of 15,000 people, and heavy to extreme damage in its path of
destruction.
