Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA): From Portsmouth Respons...Kurt Schwehr
In 2007, a small UNH team put together a prototype emergency response web application using open source tools on a Mac Desktop and later a Mac Mini. That system, called Portsmouth Response, was designed to assist in the first hours of an environmental incident by providing easy access to basic GIS layers without requiring GIS experts. This system generalized and renamed to ERMA, begin deployed as prototypes in the Caribbean and participating in the Spill Of National Significance (SONS) drill in New England during March 2010. Before the team could evaluate the performance during the SONS drill, the Deepwater Horizon platform exploded in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010. Four days later, the ERMA team was called in for 24x7 support of NOAA and USCG operations to handle the incident. ERMA went from prototype system to being the system providing the Common Operational Picture (COP) is just a few weeks. In early June, NOAA setup a system to mirror the unrestricted datasets for the public on the GeoPlatform system. The presentation describes how ERMA is designed and how it was used during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill incident.

This document discusses disaster management and response. It defines what constitutes a disaster and outlines the major types of disasters that occur in India. It describes the phases of disaster management as prediction, prevention, preparedness, rescue and relief, and rehabilitation. The document outlines the roles and responsibilities of various organizations involved in disaster response, including the National Disaster Management Authority, state and district authorities. It provides guidelines for developing disaster action plans at the district level and for hospitals to have internal and external disaster response plans to effectively manage a large influx of casualties from a disaster.
This document discusses the prevention of oil spills. It outlines the causes of oil spills such as sinking vessels, illegal dumping, and natural disasters. Major oil spills like the Exxon Valdez and Deepwater Horizon are described. Prevention methods include double hulling vessels, crew training, and vessel tracking systems. Cleanup approaches involve mechanical collection, chemical dispersants, and natural materials like plants that absorb oil. The conclusion stresses reducing human error and containing spills using blowout preventers and absorbent materials.
Disaster management involves dealing with and avoiding both natural and man-made disasters through preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation efforts. It aims to reduce vulnerabilities and impacts through organized and sustained actions to analyze and manage hazards and the underlying risks. Key aspects of disaster management include preparedness before a disaster through activities like risk assessment, warning systems, and stockpiling resources; immediate response efforts during an event; and long-term rehabilitation and reconstruction work after an event to support regrowth. Effective disaster management requires coordination and planning across different levels of government, organizations, and communities.
The document discusses disaster management and pollution caused by oil spills. It provides details about an oil spill incident involving the MSC Chitra collision off the coast of Mumbai, India in 2010. The collision resulted in an oil spill of around 400 tonnes. The Indian Coast Guard responded by deploying ships, helicopters and aircraft to monitor the spill and guide cleanup efforts. A salvage company was also hired to salvage containers and resurface the damaged vessel. While the response was largely successful, the document notes there is still room for improvement in areas like logistics, communications and customs clearance during emergencies.

Northland Regional Council's 2013 Youth Summit was held on Thursday, 17 October.
The Northland Regional Council Youth Summit is for year seven and eight students.
Northland's rocky shores stretch along 3,200 km of coastline from Cape Reinga to Mangawhai and Kaipara Harbour. Rocky shores are formed by volcanic activity and erosion from wind, water and waves. They provide habitat for many intertidal plants and creatures and are important areas for birds such as gulls, shags and oystercatchers. Rocky shores are also culturally significant places for Māori as sources of traditional food and identity. Threats to these fragile ecosystems include human disturbance, pollution and habitat loss. Protecting Northland's rocky shores involves careful exploration, leaving things undisturbed, and disposing of rubbish properly.
Northland's coastal sand dunes are formed by the interaction of wind and waves over time. They range from the vast, windswept dunes of places like Poutō Peninsula to smaller dunes along beaches like Mangawhai Heads. Native plants play a crucial role in building and stabilizing dunes, while the dune ecosystems provide habitat for birds, insects, reptiles, and other wildlife. However, human activities like vehicles, stock, and introduced pest plants threaten dune habitats. Organizations like CoastCare and the regional council work to protect and restore Northland's dunes through community planting days, weed control, and education.
Northland's estuaries provide rich, productive environments. They are formed where freshwater rivers meet saltwater seas, creating areas where fresh and salt water mix. Estuaries support many interconnected plants and animals, and were important places for early Māori and European settlement. However, estuaries now face threats from pollution, development, and invasive species. The Northland Regional Council works to sustainably manage these fragile ecosystems.
Northland's 3200km coastline is a treasured natural resource home to unique plants and animals. It faces threats from introduced pests, inappropriate development, pollution, and erosion. The Northland Regional Council works to manage these threats through plans and policies, and supports groups like CoastCare who control pests and educate communities. Small actions by many can help protect Northland's coasts.
Northland's coastline extends over 3,200 kilometers from Kaipara Harbour in the south to Cape Reinga in the north. Each of Northland's beaches has unique characteristics that are shaped by geological processes like erosion, as well as factors like weather, ocean currents and swells, surrounding landforms, freshwater inputs, and human activities. Coastal ecosystems are home to many plants and animals, some of which are rare or endangered. Multiple organizations work together under the CoastCare partnership to protect and restore Northland's beaches.
The document discusses Northland's coastline in New Zealand, including its geographic features, habitats, and importance. It notes that Northland's coast extends from Kaipara and Mangawhai Harbours in the south to Cape Reinga in the north, and includes inlets, estuaries, sand dunes, rocky shores, sandy beaches, and 17 harbors. Various organizations work to protect and manage the coast, including the Northland Regional Council, Department of Conservation, district councils, and local communities through initiatives like CoastCare. The coast is important for recreation, culture, wildlife habitat and migration.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
