This document outlines the roles and procedures of PAN (Palo Alto Neighborhoods) and PANDA (Palo Alto Neighborhood Disaster Activities) in conducting damage assessments after a disaster. PAN volunteers assess damage block by block and report critical incidents immediately, while non-critical reports can wait. PANDA teams and CERT members also assess damage and respond to needs. All report their findings on the same damage assessment form to provide an overview of injuries, structural damage, and hazards to coordinate the local response and request additional assistance.
Agent-based modeling is a technique used to explore both complexity and emergence by simulating individual actors and their actions within a system. Think of systems such as the traffic in a city, or like those in financial markets where one actor can have an effect on the decisions of others until the system’s direction changes its course. In this talk, you will learn about ABMs in Python.

Özü şu: 1. Uzun vadeli hedeflerimiz Önemli olana, kısa vadeli hedeflerimiz Gerekli olana odaklıdır. 2. Uzun hedeflerimizi netleştirmek mümkün ve gerekli değildir. Bu belirsizliğe tahammül ettikçe, yaşadım diyebilecek bir hayat olasılığı artar. 3. Başkalarıyla beraber bir şeyler yapmanın sevincini yaşamak, değer verilerek büyümek hedef belirlemenin önündedir. 4. vb vb :)

About this webinar: This talk will introduce what cancer rehabilitation is, where it fits into the cancer trajectory, and who can benefit from it. In addition, the current landscape of cancer rehabilitation in Canada will be discussed and the need for advocacy to increase access to this essential component of cancer care.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

Damage Assessment
• What is it?
– Report of injuries, structural damage, & hazards in
your area.
• Why is it needed?
– PANDA Incident Command provides local response
• PANDA first-responders are likely to be the only assistance
available for the first 1 to 3 days.
– Palo Alto EOC needs the “big picture”
• Coordinate overall response
• Deploy limited professional resources
• Request outside assistance & plan recovery
– Damage reports are rolled up to the County, State,
and FEMA

• Neighborhood Preparedness Coordinator (NPC)
– Coordinates information to/from neighborhood
area.
– “down-link” = talk to neighborhood
– “up-link” = talk to Incident Command Post
– NPC collects and sorts (triages) messages (from
BPCs)
• Block Preparedness Coordinator (BPC)
