Cyclone one bravo formed over the Bay of Bengal and struck the southeastern coast of Bangladesh in Chittagong with recorded wind speeds up to 250km/h. It caused long term impacts with 111 deaths and 500,000 people left homeless. Short term impacts included diarrheal outbreaks, contaminated wells lacking fresh water for 1 million people, and lost crops and cattle. The government and NGOs created plans to rehabilitate water supplies and rebuild housing. International aid was administered through NGOs, with contributions from several countries totaling over $1 million to help with repairs and medical needs. Relief efforts included rice distributions, temporary housing materials, and aerial surveys by the Red Crescent. Protection schemes were also put

Climate change revision pp
The document discusses the causes and evidence of climate change. It notes that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide trap heat in the atmosphere. The Keeling Curve shows rising carbon dioxide levels since 1958. Ice cores provide evidence of past climates, showing that carbon dioxide levels were highest in warm periods and lowest in cold periods. Melting ice and rising sea levels also provide evidence of global warming. Climate change is predicted to significantly impact regions like the Arctic and Iceland. Areas like Bangladesh, Mali, and the US have experienced extreme weather events linked to climate change. Solutions proposed to mitigate climate change include using renewable energy, creating carbon sinks, and sustainable community development.

This document provides information on several different earthquakes and volcanic events around the world:
- The Andes mountains formed from the collision of tectonic plates and feature important mining and farming activities despite the challenging terrain.
- Yellowstone National Park sits atop a supervolcano that last erupted 640,000 years ago. A future large eruption could have devastating global impacts from ash and climate change.
- The 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan killed over 6,000 people due to poorly constructed buildings. It highlighted the country's earthquake preparedness.
- The 2010 Haiti earthquake had severe impacts as a LEDC, killing over 200,000 people due to damage and subsequent issues like homelessness,
Fracking in 5
Fracking has led to over 81,000 wells being drilled in the United States since 2005, exposing over 15 million Americans to potential health and environmental risks within a 1 mile radius. Some of the risks include increased air and water pollution, destruction of over 360,000 acres of land, and the emission of over 100 million metric tons of CO2. The document urges citizens to make their voices heard by signing petitions and supporting initiatives to move the country towards cleaner energy alternatives and limit the impacts of fracking.

Climate change & health (Ibadan, Nigeria, 2013)
This document discusses climate change impacts on health and adaptation strategies. It notes that climate change will have primary, secondary, and tertiary health effects. Rich countries are mostly responsible for climate change but poor countries will be affected first. The best adaptation for poor countries is development through education, equity, and slower population growth. Health advocates must support energy transformation to mitigate climate change impacts on health.
Carbon Footprint
The document provides steps to reduce one's carbon footprint and discusses the effects of global warming if carbon footprints are not addressed. It recommends reducing waste and using recycling, composting, turning off electronics, changing to more efficient vehicles, installing renewable energy systems, and adopting more eco-friendly policies and development to mitigate global warming impacts like droughts, hurricanes, rising sea levels, and land loss.
Flood in cumbria
A flood hit Cumbria, England in November 2009, killing over 1000 people. The whole region experienced unprecedented flooding as warm, moist air was carried over from the Azores and heavy rain fell steadily for 34 hours. Rivers overflowed their banks in Cockermouth, causing significant flooding. This rare disaster was likely exacerbated by global warming trends, as warmer air and seas cause more intense storms and heavier rainfall. If climate change continues unchecked, more natural disasters can be expected in the coming years.

Global Warming
Global warming is defined as an increase in the Earth's temperatures due to increased greenhouse gases from human activities like pollution, deforestation and fossil fuel use. Historical records show the Earth has warmed in recent decades. Effects of warming include rising sea levels and impacts on agriculture, tourism and human health. Economic impacts are also predicted, such as losses to GDP and declines in agricultural output. Solutions involve reducing carbon emissions through renewable energy and more sustainable practices in areas like transportation and consumer goods. Predictions for 2100 include a warmer world supporting a larger population with moderate fossil fuel dependence.
An Inconvenient truth cmap
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gas pollution from unrestricted burning of fossil fuels. This is leading to rising temperatures worldwide, melting glaciers and ice caps, more extreme weather events like hurricanes and typhoons, and threats to food and water security. While some political leaders and individuals still question if global warming is real, the science clearly shows that human-caused climate change poses severe risks if left unaddressed. Urgent action is needed at both the individual and governmental levels to transition away from fossil fuels to renewable energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The World News 2030
Climate change has caused extensive damage in Australia by 2029, with many species extinct or endangered due to increased temperatures and acid rain. Key resources like the Great Barrier Reef, forests, farmland and the Murray River have been severely impacted. Health issues related to poor air and water quality have increased sharply. In response, the Australian government has pledged major investments in clean energy, water purification, healthcare and agriculture to address the problems caused by climate change.
Changing weather patterns
Global weather patterns are changing, leading to extreme natural disasters like hurricanes and floods. Hurricane Isaac in 2012 caused $3 billion in damage and killed thousands after making landfall in America. In just one week in 1998, the US experienced a series of abnormal and damaging weather events including floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, and wildfires, showing that changes in weather trends were occurring as early as the late 1990s. The document discusses how weather patterns are shifting globally and the damage that extreme weather events can cause.
Climate change
This document discusses global warming and its effects. It begins by explaining the greenhouse effect and some of the main greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. It then provides evidence that global warming is currently occurring through rising ocean temperatures and destruction of species. The document predicts some consequences of future global warming, including rising sea levels from melting ice sheets, more intense storms, and increased acidity in oceans due to higher carbon dioxide levels.

Climate change is causing hotter, drier summers and milder, wetter winters in the UK, along with rising sea levels and more extreme weather events. As the climate changes, the UK will experience infrastructure problems, changes to growing seasons, more floods and droughts, rising sea levels, and more health impacts. A carbon reduction officer focuses on addressing the impacts of climate change and ensuring compliance with carbon reduction legislation.
Iceland] (4)
Iceland has a population of around 317,630 people as of January 2010, lower than the previous year. The main industries are fish processing, aluminum smelting, geothermal power production, and tourism. Over 80% of Iceland's primary energy comes from renewable sources like hydropower and geothermal. Iceland has a small, open economy that was successful until the 2008 financial crisis when its debt to GDP ratio rose and unemployment increased, leading it to seek loans to repay depositors and focus on lowering costs to boost exports.
Energy Saving Promotion
The document discusses energy use in North America, noting that the average energy use per capita is 1,647 kilograms of oil equivalent and average electricity use is 2,703 kilowatt hours per capita per year. It goes on to argue that we must choose to save energy through various conservation efforts like reducing thermostat temperatures, using lower wash cycles, and buying efficient appliances in order to have a sustainable future and cut carbon dioxide emissions, rather than continuing on our current path and risk running out of energy resources.

Little Ice Age
The Little Ice Age occurred between the 14th and 19th centuries, when global temperatures were approximately 4 degrees cooler than average. This climatic period caused unpredictable cooling across the world and had significant effects on human history. Millions died from famines and diseases exacerbated by failed harvests from prolonged cold and rainy weather. Cultures adapted by developing new crops like potatoes and livestock suitable for colder conditions. The Little Ice Age was ultimately caused by natural factors like decreased solar activity and volcanic eruptions, though past societies attributed it to supernatural or divine forces.

The Little Ice Age occurred between the 14th and 19th centuries, when global temperatures were approximately 4 degrees cooler than average. This climatic period caused unpredictable weather like cooler summers and stronger rains that destroyed crops and caused famines. Millions died from starvation and diseases like the bubonic plague during this time. The Little Ice Age influenced major historical events like wars, revolutions, and the westward expansion of American settlers as they searched for better land for farming. The causes of the Little Ice Age are still debated by scientists but may have included natural factors like volcanic eruptions and changes in ocean currents.
Missouri Flood
The document summarizes the Mississippi Flood of 1993 that affected large parts of the central United States along the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. Heavy rains in the spring and snowmelt runoff caused widespread flooding that impacted over 840,000 square kilometers and resulted in 50 deaths, over 62,000 evacuations, and flooding of over 72,000 homes and 6 million acres of farmland. Urban development and poorly constructed levees exacerbated the flooding and its economic and social impacts.

Cyclone Aila
Natural hazards such as cyclones can cause significant damage. Cyclone Aila made landfall in India and Bangladesh in 2009, killing over 325 people, injuring over 800, and leaving around 50,000 people homeless. It caused extensive damage through heavy rains, storm surges up to 3 meters high, and flooding. The coastal regions of both countries saw widespread destruction of homes, farmland, infrastructure, and leaving many isolated and without basic services like water, electricity and communications. The storm also devastated mangrove forests and wildlife in the Sundarbans region, with fears many endangered Bengal tigers and other animals drowned. Long term impacts included food and income insecurity, health issues, and stress on communities and social systems
Presidential Peace Conference by Kunwar, Keshar: Nepal Earthquake 2015
The document discusses Nepal's 2015 earthquake relief efforts. It provides details on the damage from the earthquake, including over 8,900 deaths, 22,000 injuries, and hundreds of thousands of destroyed or damaged homes. Reconstruction has been very slow, with most families still living in temporary shelters two years later. Rotary International District 3292 has established an earthquake relief fund and reconstruction program. As of May 2017, the program had spent $675,000 on relief, rehabilitation, and building 165 permanent homes and 3 schools. An additional $3.2 million is needed to complete building 500 homes and 50 schools. The document appeals for additional donations to help speed reconstruction efforts.
Quake Shakes New Zealand
A 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck Christchurch, New Zealand on February 22nd, killing 148 people and leaving 50 missing. Over 120 people required amputations to be rescued from collapsed buildings. The estimated cost of damage is $12 billion. Rescue efforts from 10 countries searched through debris, but efforts at the worst hit Canterbury Television Building, where over 100 may have died, were suspended as the damage was deemed unsurvivable. The earthquake also caused 30 million tons of ice to break off from New Zealand's largest glacier.
Drought Report
The document discusses droughts, including their causes, effects, and responses. It provides examples of droughts in Kenya in 2004 and Australia from 2000-2006. Drought is caused by a lack of precipitation over an extended period, resulting in serious water imbalance. Common causes include high pressure systems, air mass patterns, and climate change factors like El Nino. Droughts can cause food and water shortages for people and livestock, economic impacts from reduced agriculture and tourism, and the need for conservation efforts, aid, and policy responses. Planning for future droughts is important to mitigate their effects.
Pakistan floods - One year on
Plan provided emergency relief to over 256,000 people affected by the 2010 Pakistan floods. This included food, shelter, water and sanitation support. Plan has since invested $15.1 million in long-term recovery and rehabilitation projects targeting over 1 million people, including reopening 390 schools and implementing 23 cash-for-work programs. The document discusses Plan's emergency response and long-term recovery efforts to help communities and children rebuild in the areas hardest hit by the floods.

Situation analysis of the 2010 floods in Pakistan presented by Naseer Ahmad G...Global Water Partnership
While Pakistan endures one of the country’s most devastating floods—possibly its worst ever—GWP Pakistan is joining with others to help provide relief and rehabilitation to remote communities that have been particularly hard-hit. In addition, the GWP Partner Hisaar Foundation and the Karachi Water Partnership, has launched an appeal to raise Rs 10 million for immediate flood relief, largely for the provision of safe drinking water.
Recognizing the scale of this disaster, GWP has invited the Pakistan delegation to the annual GWP Consulting Partners Meeting to present information on “Integrated Flood Management: analysis of the devastating floods, early recovery and rehabilitation plans” on September 3 in Stockholm, Sweden. The special session will be presented by the chair of GWP South Asia, Sardar Muhammad Tariq, the chair of GWP Pakistan, Naseer Ahmad Gillani, and the Ambassador of Pakistan to Sweden, Nadeem Riyaz. The floods have highlighted the need to place water resources management at the forefront of national development policy.
As part of its response to the floods, GWP Pakistan in collaboration with its Area Water Partnerships will assist in rehabilitation and resettlement, restoration of jobs, and sowing of new crops. The activities planned include:
1. Prepare an early recovery plan
2. Provide hygiene education to the volunteers
3. Identify and rescue flood affected poor people
4. Provide treatment to critical cases
5. Provide tents, water coolers, chlorinating tablets, sleeping rugs, etc.
6. Distribute printed material for prevention of health problems
7. Provide basic sanitation facilities on communal use basis
The Integrated Rural Development Organization of Islamabad, a GWP partner, will monitor and evaluate the activities.
The chair of the Hisaar Foundation, Simi Kamal (former member of the GWP Technical Committee), wrote that in addition to the Rs 10 million appeal, the Foundation is working on a concept of “total water solution” stretching from relief through rehabilitation to post-flood normalcy, and water needs in each of these phases. More information can be found at www.hisaar.org and .www.karachiwaterpartnership.org.

THREE KEY MESSAGES FROM ISLAMIC RELIEF'S REPORT FLOODED AND FORGOTTEN
1. FORGOTTEN EMERGENCY Eight million people remain in dire need of basic health care, food or shelter in Pakistan. Six million are at risk of fresh floods this monsoon season and some areas are already underwater again.
2. WOEFULLY INADEQUATE RESPONSE Despite the generous response of the British public and government, millions of Pakistanis are paying the price for a woefully inadequate international response overall that fell $603 million short of UN appeals. Those affected received only an eighth of what was spent on aid for Haiti’s hurricane victims.
3. END THE LOTTERY OF EMERGENCY AID International disaster relief is too often a lottery in which the response of donor governments varies dramatically according to other international demands and domestic economic constraints. The time has come to establish a global contingency fund to tackle climate-related emergencies and protect vulnerable countries from being so dependent on the lottery of fresh UN appeals and uncertain responses every time disaster strikes.

The weather
Heavy rainfall and flooding in parts of England over Christmas caused widespread disruption, with over 50,000 homes losing power, coastal evacuations of flooded caravan parks by boat, and hundreds of properties flooded in Surrey and Kent. Emergency services rescued many people trapped in cars by flood waters. A cyclist died trying to ride through floods in Oxfordshire. Insurers expect to pay out hundreds of millions in claims from the winter storms, though limited major damage will contain their costs. A climate adviser says the UK government needs to increase spending on flood defenses to prepare for more extreme weather expected due to climate change.

Christchurch earthquake case study
Three earthquakes struck Christchurch, New Zealand between September 2010 and February 2011. The first was a magnitude 7.1 earthquake on September 4, 2010 with its epicenter 40km from Christchurch. This quake caused some structural damage but only minor injuries. On February 22, 2011 a magnitude 6.3 aftershock hit with its epicenter just 10km from Christchurch. This smaller quake caused significantly more damage, collapsed buildings, killed 181 people, and injured over 200. The increased damage from the second quake was likely because buildings had already been weakened by the first quake and it struck during the day when more people were around.
