Natural disasters can have a devastating effect on any community. Recovery can take years, even decades. This presentation outlines the ways in which communities can be impacted by natural disaster and the recovery process, specifically using the example of Wadena, Minnesota.
Secondary Education students created a Powerpoint Presentation to provide documentation of the sociological affects of catastrophic disasters such as Hurricane Katrina.
Redlining was coined in 1960 by a sociologist James McKnight.
The term basically refers to financial lenders drawing a redline around communities that they would invest in due to poor financial capabilities.
These areas were often occupied by people of color.
This practice encouraged institutionalized racism to run through the streets of these communities.
Poorly funded schooling

Introduction
World disasters are happening more intensely and frequently, demonstrating a critical need for the enhancement of risk management and response. High-profile disasters are increasing worldwide consciousness to strengthen national and regional capacity to mitigate, respond to and manage these disasters. Developing countries such as in the Caribbean islands, the middle east, and Africa are particularly vulnerable to natural disasters for reasons of lack of infrastructure, resources and exacerbated by geology, tectonic setting, topography and location, poor environmental management practices and land use among other reasons related to the country and respective natural or man-made disasters that frequent it (Veeneema, 2018).
Earthquakes, hurricanes, and wildfires are some of the most common natural disasters that have even affected developed nations such as the United States crippling small and large communities, killing thousands and destroying any infrastructure around where they occur. The disasters being experienced today worldwide are some of most devastating and strongest in the last 100 years of the human history and have been argued to be a just mere precedents for the worst that are yet to come in the near future in the face of climate change and global warming as well as other destructive human activities.
Local, state and national response
The use of technology has been employed in response to these disasters enabling rescue operations and recovery allowing cities to rebuild after each event in the wake of these disastrous happenings and empowering the rescuers to help save more lives and others to intervene. Under normal circumstances worldwide, disaster repose in high-income cou.
Americans. As well a lack of resources such as clean water for washing hands.
Diabetes already desements many Native Americans which causes many health problems. So when you add Covid-19 into the mix, it is only making everything worse.
As well, many families live in a single home that are packed to where they are impossible to maintain social distance. Some of the ramifications for the Native Americans that have been shaped by the history has come from events of losing land for farming, lack of funding to support necessary education and healthcare.
There is also a lack of respect between the US and Native Nations such as the Dakota Pipeline where there is no respect on Native American lands and the treaties that were in place for many years. It seems there is a continuous trend of US companies and governments acting first then asking for forgiveness later.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
