The document discusses flooding in Mumbai, India and strategies to increase resilience. It notes that Mumbai experiences severe annual flooding during monsoons due to outdated drainage systems and population growth. The 2005 floods were particularly devastating, causing hundreds of deaths and billions in damages. To reduce risks, the document recommends improving drainage, building codes, insurance schemes, disaster response coordination, and transport infrastructure elevation. Managing flood risks through these policies can help Mumbai cope with extreme weather and reduce future economic and human impacts.

Presentation on Green infrastructure for Urban AreasVijeta Nigam
Rapid urbanization and scarcity of land are the characters of present India’s urban face. Migration of population continuously adds pressure on the natural growth of the towns and cities. The value of “Green Infrastructure” is needed to be upgraded with the growing communities and their built environment. The concept of green infrastructure shifts opens space protection from a community amenity to a community necessity. It comprises of many built elements of varying scales at different levels like individual building, street or an entire neighbourhood. The network of open space, woodlands, wildlife habitat, parks and other natural areas altogether sustains clean air, water and natural resources also enhances our quality of life needs to be taken under consideration.
The present study encompasses the need, importance,
principles, concept and examples and recommendations of green growth including international case studies.

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.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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

Increasing Resilience towards Floods in Mumbai city
1. The World Bank: Risk and Opportunity
Increasing Resilience towards Flooding in Mumbai city
CHINMAY CHAUHAN, Singapore
2. Managing Risks from Climate Changes
● Levels of risk in many global cities are likely to grow due to a
combination of population growth, development and rising intensities of
extreme weather events
● Managing risks from extreme events will be a crucial component of
climate change adaptation.
● This resource aims at researching the causes and the exploring possible
solutions to manage risk and increase resilience towards the yearly
flooding caused during monsoons in Mumbai
● Brief contents of this presentation
– About the city of Mumbai
– Mumbai flooding of 2005
– Damage caused by 2005 Mumbai floods
– Increasing resilience and managing risk in advance
– Possible and plausible solutions
3. Mumbai – The biggest city in India
● Mumbai is the largest city in India with population in excess of 20 million
● Island city: surrounded by Arabian Sea and other creeks on all sides
4. Mumbai
● Mumbai is the financial, commercial and entertainment capital of India.
● It is also one of the world's top ten centres of commerce in terms of
global financial flow, generating 5% of India's GDP, and 70% of capital
transactions to India's economy.
5. Monsoon Flooding in Mumbai
● Mumbai is prone to flooding and witnesses severe disruptions almost
annually
● Flooding is an every year Phenomenon in Mumbai caused mainly due to
poor drainage systems and rapidly increasing urban population, which
puts pressure on the existing infrastructure
● For example, between 2004 and 2007, Mumbai experienced flooding
each summer. But in July 2005, the city experienced the worst flooding
in its recorded history.
● The city receives around annual rainfall of around 2400 mm. Storm
water discharges to Arabian Sea/Thane Creek through road side drains,
minor nallas (drains) and major nallas.
6. Public Transportation in Mumbai
● Local trains and BEST buses are
the life line for the people of
Mumbai
● They form the mode which
majority of the middle class and
lower class people use for day-
to-day travel
● They are highly vulnerable to
monsoon and a day of heavy
rainfall can bring both the roads
and railways in Mumbai to a
standstill, which eventually
paralyses the movement in the
city
Local Trains
BEST public buses
7. Mumbai Floods of 2005
● The city receives average annual rainfall of around 2400 mm
● Storm water discharges to Arabian Sea/Thane Creek through road side
drains. The Storm Water Drainage (SWD) system in Mumbai City is
more than 100 years old
● Before urbanization and development 40% of urban storm water was
flowing through open lands. Now after development 90% storm water is
flowing through drains & 10% water is flowing through open lands.
● On July 26, 2005, the highest ever rainfall recorded in the last 100 years
in the country battered suburban Mumbai and Mumbai city, which were
the worst floods in history of Mumbai
● The continuous rainfall resulted in urban flash flooding
9. Damage caused by the 2005 Floods
● 447 casualties were reported in Mumbai
● 40,000 commercial establishments damaged.
● Vehicles Damaged - 30,000
● Heavy rains led to the closure of the airport
● Electricity supply was stopped in most parts of Mumbai’s Suburbs
● Submergence of railway tracks leading to stopping of railways
● Many landslides of small hills all over the city resulted in loss of lives and
property.
10. Impact on the Marginalized poor population
● Mumbai has many slums on the banks of Mithi River (15km in length)
● Mithi river is supposed to lead the drainage water into the Arabian sea.
But due to massive settlements and encroachments, most of the river
area has been taken over for industrial or residential purposes
11. Impact on the Marginalized poor population
● Mithi river experiences regular flooding due to this, but the floods of
2005 had a catastrophic impact on the slums on the banks of the river.
● Estimated total household damage costs due to floods for the
marginalized sections were around 235 million USD.
● Besides the damage there was also lost income due to the labour
manhours lost due to total shutdown of the city
● Every year flooding causes great economic loss in addition to the loss
of lives and livelihood, specially to the poor amongst affected population
● It’s of extreme importance to reduce and control the economic losses
due to the floods i.e. becoming more resilient
12. Becoming Resilient and Effective Risk Management
Reducing direct losses from floods
● Reduce building vulnerability through building upgrades and renovation
● Widening existing waterway and river beds. Maintaining and freeing river
beds. Ex: Mithi river bed can be widened by removing the encroached
area settlements and also some of the industries alongside the river.
● Early warning systems and evacuation schemes can help prevent the
loss of lives and help reduce property loss and damage.
● Improving drainage systems and existing transportation infrastructure,
so that excess rains do not disrupt the public transport services
13. Becoming Resilient and Effective Risk Management
Reducing indirect losses from floods
● Indirect losses refer to the losses due to loss of man hours, disruption of
economy, loss of industry production during re-construction period etc.
● Government can try to increase the construction sector production
capacity, which eventually reduces the duration needed for re-
construction of the damaged households and properties. This means
that recovery is faster and thus the opportunities lost are lesser.
● Introduce easy insurance schemes backed by government for the poor
sections of the society to reduce the risk they face from the natural
disaster.
14. Policies to increase infrastructure resilience in Mumbai
Public transport
● Infrastructure development would be
funded through a combination of taxation
and public investment.
● Build the planned transport well above
the sea-level as opposed to underground.
Ex: Mumbai metro has been planned to
be above the ground for most areas
Mumbai Metro
Building Codes
● Amend existing building regulations and
introduce new regulations where necessary
to ensure that in 20 years’ time all floodplain
buildings are on stilts
● Unauthorized colonies/slums must be
prevented.
Slums of Dharavi, biggest slum in Asia
15. Policies to reduce the flood hazard risks
Insurance
● Insurance should be a public investment
since this is a govt. financed scheme
● A government scheme aimed at low-
income households and the informal
sector.
Disaster Management
● The formation and coordination of a
‘disaster management’ cell – including
government, emergency services,
logistics and weather-forecast services.
● It would also involve the building of
designated safe shelters, as well as
targeted communication and education
to relevant sectors of the population
Emergency Response
● The definition of high-risk priority
areas, the enforced movement of people
living in those areas, the location and
development of alternative settlements
and the restoration of vacated areas.
16. Conclusion: Using Risk Management to Cope with Flood
Hazard and Increase Resilience
● The Mumbai floods of 2005 prompted the government to take steps
towards managing such extreme events in the future, however with little
success.
● Government can use different policies as suggested in this report which
broadly fit into the Knowledge, Protection, Insurance, Coping activities
as discussed in the course
● Mumbai still suffered from floods in July, 2014, although the impact was
severe, which can possibly be attributed to the government's efforts over
the past 9 years.
● We conclude that managing flood-risk effectively in the scope of Mumbai
can help reduce economic loss as well as the loss of lives and property.
The benefits of steps we take today will be realized in the future.
