Geography students can play an important role in disaster management for tsunamis. They can help with preparedness by creating maps of vulnerable areas, raising community awareness, and developing evacuation plans. During a tsunami, they can assist with search and rescue efforts, first aid, and ensuring access to food and water. In recovery, geography students aid with tasks like debris cleanup, infrastructure rebuilding, and counseling. Overall, they contribute to reducing future impacts through activities like hazard identification, early warning systems, and public education.
Tsunami is a Japanese word Tsu means ‘harbour’ and nami means ‘wave’.
They are called tidal waves but they have actually nothing to do with the tides. However their appearance from shore is similar to rapidly rising or falling tides.
Tsunami is a series of wave created when water is moved very quickly.
Tsunami is gravity wave system, triggered by vertical disturbances in ocean. They are long waves sometime with hundreds of miles b/w their crests, just like the concentric waves generated by an object dropped into a pool.
First tsunami was recorded in 1480 B.C. in eastern Mediterranean, when the Minoan civilization was wiped out.
A large tsunami accompanied by the earthquake of Lisbon in 1755.
The Kutch earthquake of June 16, 1819 generated strong tsunami which submerged the coastal areas and damage to ships and country made boats of fishermen.
North and South American records have dated such
events back to 1788 for Alaska and 1562 for Chile. Records of Hawaiian tsunami go back to 1821.
Tsunami hits the Mona Passage off Puerto Rico in 1918, grand banks of Canada in 1929.

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.
Disaster management refers to the systematic approach and set of actions taken to prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural or man-made disasters. It involves a range of activities aimed at minimizing the impact of disasters on communities, infrastructure, and the environment, and ensuring the safety and well-being of affected populations.
Everything you need to know about a disaster and their management. The slides start with an introduction of disaster their types, effects, and preventions to the initiatives taken by the government to manage reliefs and readiness.
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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.

5. What is Tsunami
• Tsunami is one of the world's worst natural disasters that can hit a country. Tsunami mean
"harbor wave“; also known as a seismic sea wave. Tsunami is the devastating impact of seismic
sea waves & this series of water waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of a body of
water, generally an ocean.
• This large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor. Earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations of underwater nuclear
devices), landslides, glacier calving, meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below
water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.
• Tsunamis cause damage by two mechanisms: the smashing force of a wall of water travelling at
high speed, and the destructive power of a large volume of water draining off the land and
carrying a large amount of debris with it.
6.
7. Effects of Tsunami
The effects of a tsunami depend on the characteristics of the seismic event that generated the
tsunami. The effects of a tsunami include such as…..
• Hitting the shoreline.
• Loss of human and animal life; increasing instant death, injury, illness
• Millions of dollars in financial loss.
• Psychological effects.
• Loss of livelihood.
• The effect of tsunamis is limited to coastal areas, their destructive power can be enormous and
they can affect entire ocean basins; the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was among the deadliest
natural disasters in human history with at least 290,000 people killed or missing in 14 countries
bordering the Indian Ocean.
• A permanent change to the landscape
• Devastating property damage.
• contamination of soil and water.
• Severe flooding causes to damages drain systems.
8. WHAT IS DISASTER MANAGEMENT?
• The Red Cross and Red Crescent societies define disaster management as the organization and
management of resources and responsibilities for dealing with all humanitarian aspects of
emergencies, in particular preparedness, response and recovery in order to reduce the impact of
disasters.
• DISASTER MANAGEMENT CYCLE Include some phases such as……
