The document discusses various topics related to risk assessment and reduction. It notes that disaster losses have been increasing significantly in recent decades. Some key points made include: hazard x vulnerability = risk; risk is determined by the probability of an event and its consequences; vulnerability depends on factors like exposure, resilience, and coping capacity; and perceptions of risk can differ from actual measured risks.
Vulnerability describes the characteristics and circumstances of a community, system or asset that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard. There are many aspects of vulnerability, arising from various physical, social, economic, and environmental factors.
The probability that a community’s structure or geographic area is to be damaged or disrupted by the impact of a particular hazard, on account of their nature, construction, and proximity to a hazardous area.
Coping Capacity is the ability of people, organizations and systems, using available skills and resources, to face and manage adverse conditions, emergencies or disasters.
A key concept on the subject DRRR. This entails the definition of vulnerability, types of vulnerability and the key concepts of vulnerability. A summary definition of risk and hazard are also observable.

The Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction was held from 14 to 18 March 2015 in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Several thousand participants attended, including at related events linked to the World Conference under the umbrella of building the resilience of nations and communities to disasters. The United Nations General Assembly Resolution for 2013 on International Strategy for Disaster Reduction states that the World Conference will result in a concise, focused, forward-looking, and action-oriented outcome document and will have the following objectives:
* To complete assessment and review of the implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action;
* To consider the experience gained through the regional and national strategies/institutions and plans for disaster risk reduction and their recommendations as well as relevant regional agreements within the implementation of the Hyogo Framework of Action;
* To adopt a post-2015 framework for disaster risk reduction;
* To identify modalities of cooperation based on commitments to implement a post-2015 framework for disaster risk reduction;
* To determine modalities to periodically review the implementation of a post-2015 framework for disaster risk reduction.

Here one will know the detail concepts of Hazards and Disaster, their characteristics, types, identification, nature with mechanisms of occurence like risks and vulnerable factors, their types- natural disaster and human and also their characteristics of hazards and disaster
Diagnosis of the relative failure of disaster risk reduction in the modern world and proposal for a cure - at least regarding disaster response, if not also prevention.
Will major emergencies in the future be anything like those of the past? To what extent can we derive lessons from past disasters that will help us deal with future ones? This presentation explores these questions.
About the intersection of different kinds of disaster and vulnerability. Complexity of modern disasters and the means of tackling them. Cascading and concurrent major incidents and disasters.
A framework for understanding, analysing and managing cascading disasters, with notes on complexity, compound risks, interacting risks and interconnected risks.
Una previsione del fabbisogno del futuro rispetto alla necessita' di una risposta forte contro i disastri. Due sono i messaggi: (1) dato i rischi che si materializzeranno, avremo bisogno di una protezione civile che e' un ordine di magnitudo piu' forte di quella attuale; (2) dovremo combattere contro la "realta' fabbricata" di false informazioni.
Verso una cultura di prevenzione e mitigazione, ma nello stesso tempo verso la preservazione delle culture umane daglil effetti depredanti dei disastri.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

14. Vertical scales: Hazard : probability of occurrence Vulnerability : potential damage Risk : value of probable costs and losses
15. Fat-tailed distributions of hazard: big events may be more likely than probability theory suggests Hazard, vulnerability & risk levels
17. VULNERABILITY RISK Intolerable risk and vulnerability Tolerable risk and vulnerability Risk/vulnerability curve Disaster threshold Society sets a level of risk toleration
18. Low Hazard High environment goods life High Probability Low certainty zero In risk assessment probability and consequence are non-linearly related. high risk medium risk low risk
19. Society places arbitrary tolerance levels upon risk Cost of risk reduction Risk Arbitrary tolerance levels COST/RISK=1

43. Vulnerability in the connection between wall and joist leads to collapse of the structure in an earthquake
44. Random rubble masonry with powdery lime mortar is a major source of vulnerability in historic and old buildings.
45. Collapse often begins at roof level if roof structure is too rigid and poorly tied to vertical load-bearing members.
68. Risk identification : what are the risks? Risk assessment or analysis : how serious are the risks and what do they consist of? Risk management : how can risks be reduced? Risk perception and communication : how can risks be communicated to the public, mass media or others? How experts deal with risk:
80. The essence of disaster management:- To tackle pressing needs with maximum efficiency and speed but with scarce resources and in the absence of necessary information BUT emergency planning is still a young field: it lacks international consensus on standards, procedures, and legal and institutional imperatives
