Earthquakes are dynamic laboratories for learning and catalysts for building capacity for disaster-intelligent & disaster-resilient communities. Presentation courtesy of Dr Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction
LEARNING FROM GLOBAL DISASTER LABORATORIES PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK FOR GLOBAL DIALOGUE THAT IS THE FIRST STEP ON THE ROAD TO RESILIENT COMMUNITIES. A Framework For A Comprehensive, Inter-Disciplinary Dialogue On 21st Century Disasters And Disaster Resilience. A Disaster Is The Set Of Failures That Occur When The Continuums Of: 1) People, 2) Community (I.E., A Set Of Habitats, Livelihoods, And Social Constructs), And 3) Recurring Events (E.G., Floods, Earthquakes) Intersect At A Point In Space And Time, When And Where The People And Community Are Not Ready. Intersection Of These Continuums Is Inevitable. Some Intersections Will Cause A Disaster, And Some Won’t. Each Community Must Be Ready For The Inevitable Intersection That Will Challenge Its State Of Readiness. Best Policies And Practices: Create, Adjust, And Realign Programs, Partners And People Until You Have Created The Kinds Of Turning Points Needed For Moving Towards Disaster Resilience.

A torrential rain event during the first full week of March 2016 featuring over two feet of record March rain in the South unleashed major river flooding, rising to historic levels in some areas. Add flooding along the Gulf Coast, and the disaster became a triple assault. In all, 400 homes flooded in Mississippi. Three people were killed in Louisiana, the governor said. In one case, a driver died when floodwater swept his vehicle off a road in Bienville Parish, the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness said. The two others died in Ouachita Parish, according to the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals.
Knowledge From Cyclone Disasters, Which Occur Annually In Parts Of The Pacific And Indian Oceans, Is Enough To Make Any Nation Susceptible To Cyclones Adopt And Implement Policies That Will Facilitate Its Disaster Resilience. The people who know: 1) what to expect (e.g., storm surge, high-velocity winds, rain, flash floods, and landslides,), 2) where and when it will happen, and 3) what they should (and should not) do to prepare will survive.

Elements of volcanic hazards and risk. Part of the pacific “ring of fire,” japan has active volcanoes as a result of complex subduction of the pacific plate beneath the Eurasian plate. Volcano hazards
can have far reaching impacts. VERTICAL PLUME (can affect jet aircraft); ASH AND TEPHRA; LATERAL BLAST; PYROCLASTIC CLOUDS, BURSTS, AND FLOWS; LAVA FLOWS; LAHARS (can bury villages); EARTHQUAKES (related to movement of lava); “VOLCANIC WINTER” (causing famine and mass extinctions).The keys to resilience: 1) know the eruptive history of your region’s volcanoes, 2)be prepared 3) have a warning system 4)evacuate 5) learn from the experience and start over.

Aquesta és la meva presentació de la Violència de Gènere en la que hi han diferents aspectes de la violència de gènere y algunes cançons que parlen d'aquest maltracte que en els darrers anys s'està popularitzant i esperem que deixi de popularitzar-se
