The Importance of Culture in Disaster Management in Malaysia
The number of natural hazards, defined as threats or risks of natu- rally occurring disasters, has increased noticeably in recent years. Governments on the local and international level have made enormous efforts to develop systematic techniques and form agencies to deal with the occurrence of disas- ters. Learning from sequences of past crises could significantly enhance the awareness, preparedness, and response of people toward natural disasters. Moreover, understanding human responsibility is key, as mistreatment of the environment and poor planning in rapid community development impacts and increases the occurrence of natural disasters. This paper discusses the issue of culture in disaster management through an intensive analysis of the relevant literature. Despite the framework of the Malaysian government to increase public awareness of natural hazards leading to disasters, the Malaysian com- munity still has little knowledge of risk reduction. Research reveals that the integration of culture in disaster management has proven to be significant in reducing the number of disaster-related deaths.
Transforming Mosques Into a Containment Space During Natural Disasters; Brows...
Mosques around the world have been serving the Muslim community for religious and social purposes since the beginning of Islam. Mosques have played an important role to educate and create a peaceful yet proper cosmos for its visitors. However, nowadays, mosques are not only used for its educational component, but on occasion have been transformed into places to serve multi-ethnic and multi- religious communities during natural disasters. This paper is an attempt to surf through the recent publications that discuss natural disas- ters and the containment of such incidents. Four case studies have been presented to draw a picture of a mosque’s role before, during and after natural disasters. Although many researchers have investigated this role, there still is an urgent need to understand the several ex- amples of cases globally and the issues the researchers have dealt with in such incidents. Selected papers have been reviewed to study the conclusions found in the most recent publications in this field. The aim of this paper is to find out the missing aspects and the gap in the literature for the purpose of future studies and designs.
Frequency of natural disaster globally
The document discusses trends in natural disasters globally. It notes that the frequency of natural disasters, especially climate-related events like floods and storms, has been increasing worldwide over the past few decades. Asia experiences the highest number of disasters, with over 2,700 events from 1994-2013 affecting over 3.8 billion people and causing over 800,000 deaths. Within Asia, Southern, Eastern, and Southeastern regions are most commonly impacted. The top five countries with the most frequent disasters are China, the United States, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Most disaster deaths in 2016 occurred in low or lower-middle income countries.
UNEP topic a, topic b and commitee background
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) was established in 1972 to coordinate environmental activities within the UN system. Its objectives are to improve scientific knowledge of environmental issues, promote sustainable development planning and management, and provide assistance to countries on addressing environmental problems through financing, information, technology and education. UNEP aims to address issues caused by unsustainable human population growth such as poverty, conflict, and biodiversity loss. Rapid population growth has overwhelmed conservation efforts and stressed ecosystems by increasing demands on natural resources. Reducing population growth through expanded access to family planning and reproductive health services could help alleviate many environmental problems by slowing resource consumption and allowing time for sustainable management.

The Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004 Remembering a Catastrophe.pptx
On the morning of December 26, 2004, one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history struck the shores of countries bordering the Indian Ocean. Triggered by a massive undersea earthquake off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. A series of powerful tsunamis radiated across the ocean, devastating coastal communities and leaving a trail of unprecedented destruction in their wake. This event, commonly known as the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004. Profoundly altered the lives of millions and prompted global humanitarian efforts.
Tsunami 2004
The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was a 9.1-9.3 magnitude earthquake that triggered a series of devastating tsunamis. It killed over 225,000 people across 11 countries, with Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand impacted most severely. Waves as high as 30 meters inundated coastal communities. It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in history and caused global seismic effects.
Tsunami of 2004
A tsunami is a series of waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or large lake. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other disturbances under water have the potential to generate tsunamis. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history, caused by an earthquake under the Indian Ocean with a magnitude of 9.1-9.3 that killed over 227,000 people across 14 countries, mostly in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand. It highlighted the need for improved warning systems for tsunamis in the Indian Ocean.

We continue to operate with a flawed premise: Knowledge from tsunami disasters, which occur in association with great subduction zone earthquakes in the Pacific and Indian oceans and are very well understood, therefore tsunami disaster resilience should be accomplished relatively easily by vulnerable countries. Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is, tsunamis are not annual events; they are also complex, so most nations, whether impacted or not, usually are slow to adopt and implement policies based on science and recent catastrophic events making tsunami disaster resilience a very elusive goal to achieve. What have we learned from recent past tsunamis to increase survivability? First of all, the timing of anticipatory actions is vital. People who know: 1) what to expect (e.g., strong ground motion, soil effects, tsunami wave run up, ground failure), where and when tsunamis have historically happened, and 3) what they should (and should not) do to prepare for them, will survive. Secondly, timely, realistic disaster scenarios save lives. The people who have timely, realistic, advance information that facilitates reduction of vulnerabilities, and hence the risks associated with strong ground shaking, tsunami wave run up, and ground failure will survive. Thirdly, Emergency preparedness and response eight slides. The “Uncontrollable and Unthinkable” events will always hinder the timing of emergency response operations, especially the search and rescue operations that are limited to “the golden 48 hours.” The local community’s capacity for emergency health care (i,e., coping with damaged hospitals and medical facilities, lack of clean drinking water, food, and medicine, and high levels of morbidity and mortality) is vital for survival. And finally, earthquake engineer building save lives. Buildings engineered to withstand the risks from an earthquake’s strong ground shaking and ground failure that cause damage, collapse, and loss of function, is vital for protecting occupants and users from death and injury.

The document discusses tsunamis, their causes, impacts, and mitigation. It begins by defining natural hazards and disasters. It then defines tsunamis, their measurement, and distinguishes them from wind waves. Earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, and meteorite impacts are described as the main causes of tsunamis. The Pacific Ocean experiences most tsunamis, especially along subduction zones. Tsunamis cause death, disease, and massive reconstruction costs. They also contaminate soil and water, destroy habitats, and can spread radiation from damaged nuclear plants. Planting mangroves and trees along coastlines can help mitigate tsunami impacts by reducing wave energy.

The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake occurred on December 26th with a magnitude of 9.1-9.3 off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, triggering a series of devastating tsunamis. Over 230,000 people were killed in 14 countries, with Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand being the hardest hit. It was one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded and caused extensive damage through seismic activity and tsunamis across the Indian Ocean region.
Tsunami 2004
On December 26, 2004, a massive undersea earthquake off the coast of Sumatra triggered a series of devastating tsunamis that caused widespread damage and loss of life in several countries. The shape of beaches affected the size of the waves, with deep waters leading to greater destruction. While scientists detected the earthquake, there was no early warning system in place at the time to notify people of the impending tsunamis. In the future, scientists need to implement improved warning systems to better protect lives if another tsunami occurs.

The document summarizes the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. It describes how an earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia caused a massive tsunami that severely impacted 14 countries around the Indian Ocean. Over 230,000 people were killed and infrastructure and economies were devastated, especially in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand. A large international humanitarian aid effort was mounted in response.
Tsunami by Aadi Bansal
A tsunami is a large sea wave caused by seismic activity under the sea, such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. When tectonic plates shift suddenly, they displace water and create huge waves that can reach heights of over 1 km and speeds of 500 mph. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was one of the worst on record, caused by a 9.2 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Sumatra. It killed over 225,000 people across 8 countries and caused billions of dollars in damage. After such disasters, relief efforts like providing shelter, food and medical aid are crucial for rehabilitation.
