The document provides an introduction to disaster management. It discusses that disasters have increased dramatically in recent decades. There are two main types of disasters: natural disasters such as floods, tornadoes, cyclones, volcanic eruptions, and landslides, and man-made disasters like fires and industrial hazards. For each type of disaster, examples are given and management strategies are outlined, such as making evacuation plans, sheltering safely during events, and accessing important supplies. The full disaster management cycle is also explained as having three key stages: pre-disaster preparedness, disaster occurrence response, and post-disaster recovery.

Almost every web site that delivers dynamic content has one or more listings of all kinds of stuff, e.g. news articles on news pages or procucts within an online shop. Many hours of web development are kind of wasted with programming stuff like pagers, sorting and filters over and over again.
pt_extlist tries to fulfill these requirement in a generic approach. Lists of any database records you keep within your TYPO3 instance or even on external databases can be set up easily using TypoScript and hence be generated by Integrators without writing a single line of PHP code. Once configured, a list can be put on any page using content elements. Fluid templating makes it easy to adapt the look and feel of all elements.
In this talk you will learn how to set up prototypes for web applications much faster than your competitors and speed up development by re-using existing tools. Creating lists will never be the same once you started using this extension!

Integrated smart surveillance systems for rail-based mass transportationFrancesco Flammini
In this paper, we present the architecture and the main functionalities of an innovative security system and its installation details in the Metrocampania undeground railway. Heterogeneous intrusion detection, access control, intelligent video-surveillance and sound detection devices are integrated in a cohesive Security Management System (SMS). The core of the SMS consists of an advanced web-based software application featuring an effective and user-friendly interface. System architecture is distributed and hierarchical, with both local and central control rooms collecting alarms according to different scopes and responsibilities. The system is able to protect stations (accesses, technical rooms, platforms, etc.), tunnels (portals, ventilation shafts, etc.), trains and depots. Presently, the system is being tested in the Metrocampania regional railway.
Disaster management is a process of effectively preparing for and responding to disasters. It involves strategically organizing resources to lessen the harm that disasters cause. It also involves a systematic approach to managing the responsibilities of disaster prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

2. INTRODUCTION TO DISASTER MANAGEMENT
Disasters are as old as human history but
the dramatic increase and the damage
caused by them in the recent past have
become a cause of national and international
concern.
Over the past decade, the number
of natural and manmade disasters has
climbed inexorably. From 1994 to 1998,
reported disasters average was 428 per year
but from 1999 to 2003, this figure went up to
an average of 707 disaster events per year
showing an increase of about 60 per cent
over the previous years.
4. NATURAL DISASTER
A natural disaster is the effect
of a natural hazard that affects
the environment, and leads to
financial,
environmental and/or human
losses.
6. FLOOD
A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water
that submerges land. Flood is a temporary
covering by water of land not normally covered
by water. Flooding may result from the volume
of water within a body of water, such as a river
or lake, which overflows or breaks levees, with
the result that some of the water escapes its
usual boundaries.
7. MANAGEMENT
Make a family disaster plan.
If you have time before evacuating,
shut down power at the main switches
in your home and disconnect any
electrical appliances.
Move valuable or essential items to
higher floors.
Don’t touch electrical equipment if
you’re wet or standing in water
8. TORNADO
A tornado is a violent, rotating column of air which
is in contact with both the surface of the earth
and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the
base of a cumulus cloud. The most intense of all
atmospheric phenomena, tornadoes come in many
shapes and sizes, but are typically in the form of a
visible condensation funnel, whose narrow end
touches the earth and is often encircled by a cloud
of debris and dust.
9. MANAGEMENT
Make a family disaster plan.
Pick a safe place in your home.
Learn about your community’s
warning system.
Keep a radio with you to listen
the further forecast.
Prepare a sufficient food
stock.
10. CYCLONE
A cyclone is a storm system
characterized by a large low-
pressure center and
numerous thunderstorms that
produce strong winds and
heavy rain. Cyclones feed on
heat released when moist air
rises, resulting in
condensation of water vapor
contained in the moist air.
11. MANAGEMENT
Make a family disaster plan.
Keep a first aid box with you.
Stay indoor, away from window
during a cyclone.
Keep stock of dry food.
Fill several containers with
fresh water to drink.
Be with your family.
12. VOLCANIC ERUPTION
During a volcanic eruption, lava,
tempura ,ash, lapillus, solid chunks
of rock, and various gases are
expelled from a volcanic vent or
fissure. Several types of volcanic
eruptions have been distinguished
by volcanologists. These are often
named after famous volcanoes
where that type of behavior has
been observed. Some volcanoes may
exhibit only one characteristic type
of eruption during a period of
activity, while others may display an
entire sequence of type.
13. MANAGEMENT
Leave the area immediately.
Avoid areas downwind from the
eruption if the ash is being expelled.
Protect your eyes with goggles or
glass.
Don’t inhale the harmful smoke.
Cover your face with scarf or a cloth.
Beware of flying debris.
14. LANDSLIDE
A landslide or landslip is a
geological phenomenon which
includes a wide range of
ground movement, such as
rock falls, deep failure of slopes
and shallow debris flows,
which can occur in offshore,
coastal and onshore
environments.
15. MANAGEMENT
Stay alert and awake.
If you live in landslide area,
it is better to leave that
area.
If you see a crack in
ground then alert everyone
to leave the area.
Be especially alert while
driving.
16. Man made disaster
A man-made hazard is a threat
having an element of human intent,
negligence, or error, or involving a
failure of a man-made system.
Man-made disasters are disasters
resulting from the same factors.
18. FIRE
Fire is the rapid oxidation of a
material in the chemical process
of combustion, releasing heat,
light, and various reaction
products. Slower oxidative
processes like rusting or digestion
are not included by this definition
19. MANAGEMENT
Do not panic during fire.
Call fire brigade as soon as possible.
Do not use water in fire caused due
to any false electrical appliance.
Use sand or fire extinguisher.
Immediately put burned on the
wound cause due to the fire.
20. INDUSTRIAL HAZARD
Industrial disasters occur
in a commercial context,
such as mining disasters.
They often have an
environmental impact.
It mainly occur due to
the carelessness of
workers or industry
authority.
21. MANAGEMENT
Do not panic.
Go to a safer place.
Do not go near industry
during disaster.
Do not inhale gas
coming out from fire.
In case of fire, call to fire
brigade.
22. What is vulnerability ?
Vulnerability may be defined as “The
extent
to which a community, structure,
services
or geographic area is likely to be
damaged
or disrupted by the impact of particular
hazard, on account of their nature,
construction and proximity to
hazardous
terrains or a disaster prone area.”
23. 1. Preparedness
This protective process embraces measures which enable
governments, communities
and individuals to respond rapidly to disaster situations to cope
with them effectively.
Preparedness includes the formulation of viable emergency plans,
the development
of warning systems, the maintenance of inventories and the
training of personnel.
It may also embrace search and rescue measures as well as
evacuation plans for
areas that may be at risk from a recurring disaster.
24. 2. Mitigation
Mitigation embraces measures taken to reduce both
the effect of the hazard and the
vulnerable conditions to it in order to reduce the scale
of a future disaster. Therefore
mitigation activities can be focused on the hazard itself
or the elements exposed to
the threat. Examples of mitigation measures which are
hazard specific include water
management in drought prone areas, relocating people
away from the hazard prone
areas and by strengthening structures to reduce
damage when a hazard occurs.
25. Disaster Management Cycle
Disaster Risk Management includes sum
total of all activities, programmers and
measures which can be taken up before,
during and after a disaster with the purpose
to avoid a disaster, reduce its impact or
recover from its losses. The three key stages
of activities that are taken up within disaster
risk management are:
26. 1. Before a disaster (pre-disaster).
Activities taken to reduce human and
property losses caused by a potential
hazard. For example carrying out
awareness
campaigns, strengthening the existing
weak structures, preparation of the
disaster
management plans at household
27. During a disaster (disaster
occurrence).
Initiatives taken to ensure that the needs and
provisions of victims are met and suffering is
minimized. Activities taken under this stage
are called emergency response activities.
After a disaster (post-disaster)
Initiatives taken in response to a disaster
with a purpose to achieve early recovery and
rehabilitation of affected communities,
immediately after a disaster strikes. These are
called as response and recovery activities.
28. Natural disasters that shook the world in 2014
The year 2014 saw several natural
disasters around the world, which
renewed worries about global
warming and related incidents
threatening life on our planet.
An Oxfam report in November also
showed how Asia is highly
vulnerable to increasingly severe
and frequent weather extremes
and woefully underprepared to
manage growing crises.
Here's a look back at 10 natural
disasters around the world this
year.
