Crisis Description
Recent trends: The security situation deteriorates as conflict has spread across large parts of the country, including to heavily populated areas. Growing numbers of people are displaced both internally and across borders. The number of Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries and North Africa continues to rise, reaching over 390,000. As winter approaches, vulnerabilities of affected people are likely to increase.
Impact: The violence has led to the killing of thousands of men, women and children, including some deliberately targeted. Countless homes, clinics, hospitals and other essential services and infrastructure such as water and sanitation networks have been destroyed or severely damaged. Largescale displacement is resulting in over-crowded shelters. Host communities’ capacity to support is overstretched.
Violence makes it difficult for people to have access to safe water, food and health care.
Response: Despite the increasing insecurity, humanitarian assistance continues to reach more people every month. The United Nations is enhancing partnerships with local nongovernmental and community based organizations in order to access all conflict affected areas.
This document outlines a framework for achieving global disaster resilience through comprehensive integration of knowledge from past disasters. It discusses establishing disaster-resilient communities by implementing best policies and practices. These include closing knowledge gaps, identifying weaknesses, and gaining a deeper understanding of disasters to implement countermeasures that prevent recurrences when the continuums of people, communities, and recurring hazards intersect. Emerging technologies, probabilistic hazard forecasts, risk reduction through development standards, and international cooperation in emergency response and recovery are key components of the framework.

This document discusses strategic management and provides examples to illustrate key concepts. It introduces the "Parable of John Smith" to explain strategy, though does not elaborate on the parable. It contrasts two views of firm behavior - the economist view which sees structure determining conduct and performance, versus the strategist view which sees conduct determining structure and winning. It categorizes firms as rule makers, rule takers, or rule breakers based on their size and profitability. Finally, it outlines the characteristics of strategic, administrative, and operational decisions within firms and provides examples of strategic decisions and their attributes.
This document provides financial and operational information about Company X for the years 2013 and 2014. It indicates that the company has maintained its 10% market share and 112% price relative to competitors during this period. While its return on capital employed has decreased slightly from 50% to 48%, its plant and equipment, number of employees, and sales per employee have increased. The document poses the strategic question of whether one would invest in the company based on this information.
The document provides tips for designing effective PowerPoint presentations, emphasizing that presentations should be big, simple, clear, progressive, and consistent.

A disease outbreak like a natural disaster impacts all elements of society. There is a common agenda for societal sustainability whether preparing for outbreaks of Ebola or pandemics of influenza or earthquakes. The principles of strengthening community resilience are the same for natural disasters as they are for epidemics of communicable disease. The successful response to a deadly epidemic and a catastrophic natural disaster depends on community participation, education, awareness of the threat, what to expect and early warning.

The document provides information about the United States of America, including its flag, map, historical facts, government details, economy, and greatest Americans. The flag of the USA features 13 alternating red and white stripes and 50 white stars in a blue corner representing the original 13 colonies and current 50 states. Some key facts are that Christopher Columbus reached North America in 1492, the US declared independence from Britain on July 4, 1776, and the first president was George Washington.
SALSA and PageRank are algorithms that analyze the link structure of web pages to determine authoritative pages. SALSA models the web as two Markov chains, with pages as either hubs or authorities. It computes hub and authority scores to find the principal community of related pages. PageRank also models the web as a graph, and defines a page's rank based on the ranks of pages that link to it, effectively modeling a random web surfer. Both leverage the concept of a random walk on the link graph to determine important pages.
Particulate matter is a mixture of very small solids and liquid droplets that float in the air. Some particles come from a specific source (such as a burning candle), while others form as a result of complicated chemical reactions. While much is known about the health effects of exposure to particulate matter outdoors, the effects of indoor exposure are less well-understood. However, indoor exposure to particulate matter is gaining attention as a potential source of adverse health effects.
The document discusses key issues from the Second World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction held in Sendai, Japan in 2015. The conference called for renewed global action to reduce vulnerabilities and accelerate disaster risk reduction through the implementation of best policies and practices. However, disaster risk remains high due to growing populations, climate change, weak infrastructure, and a lack of preparedness. The only way forward is through strengthened disaster risk reduction efforts including adopting best practices, strengthening communities, utilizing new technologies, and innovative strategic planning.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the seismic hazard at the northwestern Egypt using the probabilistic seismic hazard assessment approach. The Probabilistic approach was carried out based on a recent data set to take into account the historic seismicity and updated instrumental seismicity. A homogenous earthquake catalogue was compiled and a proposed seismic sources model was presented. The doubly-truncated exponential model was adopted for calculations of the recurrence parameters.

A powerful 7.5 magnitude earthquake rocked parts of South Asia on 26 October 2015. It was centred near Jurm in northeast Afghanistan, 250 kilometres (160 miles) from the capital Kabul and at a depth of 213.5 kilometres, the US Geological Survey said. (AFP, 26 Oct 2015) Pakistan's confirmed death toll so far stands at 272, with more than 1,900 people injured and nearly 14,000 homes damaged, though the spokesman said the NDMA was still in the process of estimating a final toll. (AFP, 28 Oct 2015) In Afghanistan, Assessment reports indicate 117 deaths, 544 people injured, 12,794 homes damaged and 7,384 houses destroyed. Furthermore, 136,967 people are still in need of humanitarian assistance, of which 131,345 people have received some form of assistance so far date. More than 51,000 people were affected in Badakhshan alone, where property damage was most extensive. The earthquake claimed the most lives and caused the most casualties in Kunar and Nangarhar provinces. Access remains the most significant challenge in providing assistance to people in need and is an issue reaching at least 194 villages affected by the earthquake.
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.

The 2016 Ecuador earthquake occurred on April 16 at 18:58:37 ECT with a moment magnitude of 7.8 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of VIII (Severe). The very large thrust earthquake was centered approximately 27 km (17 mi) from the towns of Muisne and Pedernales in a sparsely populated part of the country, and 170 km (110 mi) from the capital Quito, where it was felt strongly. Regions of Manta, Pedernales and Portoviejo accounted for over 75 percent of total casualties.[6] Manta's central commercial shopping district Tarqui, was completely destroyed. Widespread damage was caused across Manabi province, with structures hundreds of kilometres from the epicenter collapsing. At least 659 people were killed and 27,732 people injured. President Rafael Correa declared a state of emergency; 13,500 military personnel and police officers were dispatched for recovery operations.
The moderate-magnitude quake struck at 9:26 p.M. Thursday night at a depth of 11 kilometers (7 miles) in southern Japan near Kumamoto city on the island of Kyushu. The epicenter was 120 kilometers (74 miles) northeast of Kyushu Electric Power Company's Sendai nuclear plant, the only one operating in the country; no adverse consequences were reported.
Lesson: the knowledge and timing of anticipatory actions is vital
The Kathmandu Valley is densely populated with nearly 2.5 million people, and the quality of building construction is often poor. The epicenter of today's disaster was 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of the city, and had a depth of only 11 kilometers (7 miles), which is considered shallow in geological terms. This earthquake, the worst quake to hit Nepal (a poor South Asian nation) since 1934, collapsed buildings and houses, leveled centuries-old temples and triggered avalanches in the Himalayas.

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.

Two volcanoes in Mexico, Popocatepetl and Colima, have shown increased activity and are threatening to erupt. While current eruptions are not considered dangerous, Popocatepetl poses a threat to Mexico City if its eruptions become more powerful. There are over 1,500 active volcanoes worldwide that could erupt at any time, and eruptions of 11 highly active volcanoes including Katla in Iceland, Pinatubo in the Philippines, and Nyamuragira in the Democratic Republic of Congo would be especially devastating due to their proximity to populated areas.
1) India faces recurring natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and cyclones due to its location and geology. The 2001 Gujarat earthquake killed over 100,000 people and caused $5 billion in damages.
2) To improve disaster resilience, India must integrate lessons from past disasters, build expertise through education, and make policy decisions to shift from reactive responses to proactive risk reduction.
3) A 3-step process is proposed: 1) document knowledge gained from experiences, 2) develop technical capacity through education, and 3) implement science-based policies to minimize future impacts through preparedness and resilient infrastructure.
Disaster resilience, which is the capacity of a country to rebound quickly after the socioeconomic impacts of a disaster, requires decision-making for a national paradigm shift from the status quo. Disaster resilience has become an urgent global goal in the 21st century as many Nations are experiencing disasters after a natural hazard strikes, and learning that their communities, institutions, and people do NOT yet have the capacity to be disaster resilient.

On January 29, 2015, a routine delivery of gas to a maternity hospital in Mexico City leads to a deadly explosion killing 4 and injuring dozens. The explosion occurred when a gas tanker was making a routine, early morning delivery of gas to the hospital kitchen, and gas started to leak. The tanker workers worked for 15 to 20 minutes to repair the leak while a large cloud of gas was forming, then exploded. Technologies for monitoring, forecasting, and warning are vital for becoming resilient. Presentation courtesy of Dr Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction
Disasters are caused by single- or multiple-event natural hazards that, (for various reasons), cause extreme levels of mortality, morbidity, homelessness, joblessness, economic losses, or environmental impacts. The keys to resilience: 1) know the history of past disasters 2) be prepared 3) have a warning system 4) evacuate 5) learn from the experience
As we begin the year 2015, we must unfortunately recognize that it is well past the time to speed up the long-term recovery process for earthquakes (and tsunamis). The main insights from global earthquakes have consistently shown that being prepared includes pre-earthquake planning for post-earthquake recovery ("PEPPER"). Only about 110 of the 10 million earthquakes of all sizes that occur somewhere in the world each year are large enough and close enough to a community to cause a disaster, which creates a multitude of local and regional dilemmas about what to do, both before and after the quake, to shorten the recovery process. THE SOLUTION: PRE-EARTHQUAKE PLANNING FOR POST-EARTHQUAKE RECOVERY(PEPPER). “THE END GAME” FOR JAPAN AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA: Identification of the physical, social and economic consequences of a major earthquake in Tokai, Japan or Southern California will enable end users to identify what they can change now before the earthquake—to shorten recovery from the catastrophic impacts after the inevitable “big ones” occur, probably in the near future.
1) The document describes the major floods of 2008 in the Midwestern United States and along the Mississippi River in June-July 2008.
2) It details the extensive damage caused by flooding including dozens of flooded towns and cities, inundated homes and businesses, lost crops and farmland, and disruption of infrastructure.
3) Secondary impacts of the floods included health issues, pollution, and the enlargement of a dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico lacking in oxygen.
The document discusses the 2010 earthquake in Haiti that killed over 200,000 people and severely damaged Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas. It summarizes the immediate impacts including widespread building collapses, damage to infrastructure, and a massive humanitarian crisis. International response efforts are described that provided search and rescue, medical care, and other aid in the days and weeks after the quake. The document concludes with a discussion of ongoing recovery and reconstruction efforts five years later, and goals to build a more disaster-resilient Haiti through improved infrastructure, education, and economic development.
This document summarizes knowledge gained from the 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan. The Mw 6.9 earthquake caused over 6,000 deaths and $200 billion in damage. It revealed vulnerabilities in buildings, infrastructure systems, and emergency response. Japan and the US formed a committee to improve earthquake risk reduction policy. Kobe rebuilt strongly with updated building codes. In 2005, Japan hosted the first World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Kobe to highlight lessons from the earthquake.
The document summarizes information about the 1994 Northridge earthquake and subsequent efforts to improve earthquake preparedness and resilience in Southern California. It describes the impacts of the 6.8 magnitude Northridge earthquake, including 57 deaths and over $50 billion in damage. It then outlines recommendations from the Governor's Seismic Safety Commission following the earthquake to improve hazard mapping, building codes, and infrastructure safety. It concludes by discussing ongoing efforts to develop earthquake scenarios to advance preparedness, including the ShakeOut scenario modeling a magnitude 7.8 earthquake on the San Andreas Fault causing 1,800 deaths and $213 billion in losses. The overarching goal is to integrate learnings into risk models that enhance disaster resilience.
