Measures taken in anticipation of a disaster to ensure that appropriate and effective actions are taken in the aftermath are known as Disaster Preparedness.
effective disaster management by efficient usage of resourcesINFOGAIN PUBLICATION
Disaster Management can be merely defined as the organization and management of resources and responsibilities for dealing with all humanitarian aspects of crises, in specific preparedness, rejoinder and recapture in order to diminish the influence of disasters. But the affects of the disaster increases only when the information about the disaster is unknown and when the resources for the disaster management is not correctly used. Now there are several methods for forecast the disaster, But there are no any effective methods for handling the resources needed for both managing the disaster and also for rehabilitation purpose. Thus this paper proposes an application used for managing the disaster and handling the rehabilitation process. This application which deals with almost all the resources those are required for the management of disaster. This proposed application which is based on java programming language. This project also has a great scope of enhancement in future.

Big Ideas, Visionaries, Amateur Forecasters and Computer Developers Welcome at UNDP Climate Information for a Resilient Africa Event
What’s It All About
Innovation, out-of-the-box-thinking, big ideas, and smart applications of technology have the potential to significantly impact the way weather information is shared across Africa. And in a world where information is power – and climate change is producing more severe storms and temperature fluctuations that affect vulnerable African communities – access to accurate and timely weather forecasts can work toward reducing poverty, empowering rural communities and saving lives.
With the goal of creating an innovation-driven crowd-sourced space for big thinkers and techno-visionaries to come together, the UNDP’s Programme on Climate Information for Resilient Development in Africa (CIRDA) is inviting developers, mobile application gurus, students and developers to this three-day hackathon and innovations incubator.
The Climate Action Hackathon will run in parallel with a multinational UNDP workshop addressing “The Last Mile: Saving lives, improving livelihoods and increasing resiliency with tailored weather information services for a changing climate.”
Participants will have access to leaders in meteorology, technology, sustainable development and communications. They will work individually or in teams to create mobile applications, technology solutions or data-crunching systems that address Africa’s persistent challenges in adapting to climate change, and sharing early warnings and accurate climate information across the continent.
The Climate Action Hackathon Challenge
• Create prototype mobile and information-system-based applications and technological solutions to share actionable weather and climate information with a variety of stakeholders, sectors and end-users.
• Connect technology with people to bridge the last mile.
• Build scalable systems that react to more frequent storms, increase in lightning, erratic weather patterns and long-term climate change.
• Create technological solutions that are built for Africa and solve local challenges.
• Design and develop next-generation applications to improve on existing systems and methodologies to use climate information and reach end users.
• Leverage existing information, networks and human capacity to seed innovation.

Understanding Systems for Changemakers: What Can Nature Teach Us?
We live in a complex and interconnected world. When we are able to recognise this, we are better able to identify the allies and supporters that will help us to create the sustainable change we want for our communities. However, being able to map the relationships between the various stakeholders in a community and identify their motivations, can be a challenging exercise. Join us for an introductory session on understanding systems so that we can be more effective changemakers!

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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. INTRODUCTION
•Disasters come in two forms –natural and man-made. We’re focusing exclusively on natural disasters for this program.
•The Disaster Management Cycle is composed of 4 parts.
–Preparedness
–Mitigation
–Response
–Recovery
4. DISASTER MANAGEMENT CYCLE
Response
•Activities during a disaster such as public warning systems, emergency operations, search & rescue
Recovery
•Activities following a disaster such as temporary housing, claims & grants processing, long-term medical care and counselling.
Mitigation
•Activities prior to a disaster such as preparedness plans, emergency exercises, early warning systems.
Preparedness
•Activities that reduce the risk of disasters such as building codes, zoning, vulnerability analysis, public education.
6. IMPACT
•There have been more frequent and increased intensity of natural disasters in the last 20 years.
•The increasing amount of losses are prompting agencies and governments involved in humanitarian relief to consider technology multipliers to improve the effectiveness of their work at different phases of the disaster management cycle.
11. MARKET OPPORTUNITY
•The total value humanitarian relief provision was valued at US$22 Billion for 2013.
•The losses experienced by insurers fluctuate between US$50-100 Billion over the last 20 years.
•There are significant cost savings and impact enhancement opportunities that can be explored by technology providers.
16. CURRENT SOLUTION VERTICALS
Response
•Search & Rescue Aids
•Situational Awareness & Needs Analysis Tools
Recovery
•Resource Management and acountability.
Mitigation
•Early Warning Sensors, Systems & Data Aggregators
Preparedness
•Planning & Training Aids
17. PHILIPPINES RED CROSS
Response

Recovery
Use of SMS to facilitate cash transfers for purchase of shelter repair kits.
Mitigation
Early warning notification systems
GIS Mapping
Web-Based Community Data Management
Preparedness

18. KoBotoolboxprovides an integrated suite of applications for handheld digital data collection.
The rapid assessment toolkit is pictured on the left and comprises battery packs, data collection tools among other things to assist in rapid assessment during the response phase of the disaster.
19. TO THINK ABOUT…
•Technology advancements have focused on the needs of relatively wealthy agencies based in mainly high-income countries and often specifically for large-scale emergencies and sudden-onset disasters.
•However local communities are often the most effective in saving lives following a disaster. In fact, only about 10% of lives saved following a disaster are attributed to international agencies.
21. WHAT’S NEXT?
•Can we solve the sustainability problems of existing technology approaches?
•Can local capacity to respond in an emergency be enhanced?
•Can we reflect the use of other recent tech such as cheap microcontrollers, sensors, digital fabrication?
•Can we focus on disaster risk reduction over response?
