We believe a flawed premise. Typhoon disasters, which occur annually, should be enough to make any nation susceptible to typhoons adopt and implement policies that will lead to their typhoon disaster resilience. Fact: it usually takes multiple disasters before a stricken nation will adopt policies to move towards disaster resilient. Creating turning points for typhoon disaster resilience. Integration of scientific and technical solutions with political solutions for policies on preparedness, protection, early warning, emergency response, and recovery.

YourCause Typhoon Haiyan Client Case StudyAmy Chait
On late November 7th, 2013, Typhoon Haiyan made landfall in the Philippines at Guiuan, Eastern Sumar. The storm became the second-deadliest Philippine typhoon on record and resulted in 4,000+ casualties. The storm dissipated by November 11th and revealed wide-spread catastrophe that led 40% of YourCause corporate clients to quickly execute disaster campaigns. Employee donations plus corporate match reached more than $1M within a week of the typhoon making landfall.
5th International Disaster and Risk Conference IDRC 2014 Integrative Risk Management - The role of science, technology & practice 24-28 August 2014 in Davos, Switzerland
This is a revised version of a much valued resource that I created last year. I've added more detail & structure and embedded some great film clips into it. See what you think.
As always, any feedback is really useful.
Thanks, Simon
I've discussed about hurricane in a easy way. Everything this realted to hurricanes is discussed in slide slide. For the students of "disaster management" i would suggest this slide. Check out this slide.
This lesson will help you to understand the concept of typhoon
formation. After going through this lesson, you are expected to explain how
typhoon develops and how it is affected by landmasses and bodies of water

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

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.

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.
2. Background Information On
Typhoons (Hurricanes)
Hurricane season in the Atlantic is between June
and November.
Hurricane season for the Eastern Pacific is May
through November.
To be considered a typhoon (hurricane), it must
have wind speeds of at least 119 kph.
In the western part of the North Pacific ocean
between 180° and 100°E), a hurricane is called a typhoon.
A typical typhoon (hurricane) is 600 km across.
3. What Causes the Storm Scientifically?
Warm moist air over the ocean rises up near the surface causing an area of low
air pressure. Air with high air pressure pushes into the area with low air pressure
and changes the low pressured air into warmer and moister air that rises as well.
As the air continues to rise, the temperature decreases and forms clouds. The
system of clouds and wind grows and spin, fed by the oceans heat and water
that evaporates. Storms north of the equator spin counterclockwise, while storms
in the south spin clockwise. The difference in the rotation is caused by the Earth’s
rotation on its axis. As the storm system rotates faster and faster, an eye
forms in the center. It is very calm and clear in the eye, with very low air
pressure. Higher pressure air from above flows down into the eye. When the
winds in the rotating storm reach 39 mph (63 kph), the storm is called a "tropical
storm." And when the wind speeds reach 74 mph (119kph), the storm is officially a
"tropical cyclone," or hurricane. Tropical cyclones usually weaken when they hit land,
because they are no longer being fed by the energy from the warm ocean waters.
However, they often move far inland, dumping many inches of rain and causing lots
of wind damage before they dissipate completely.
4. When Did Typhoon Haiyan Happen?
Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) formed
November 2, 2013 and dissipated
November 11, 2013. It struck the

Potato
6. How Severe Was Typhoon Haiyan
(Yolanda)?
Typhoon Haiyan had peak gust
speeds of 379 kph (Kilometers per
hour) while having a sustained wind
speed of about 250kph. It was a
category 5 typhoon. (In order to be
classified as a category 5 typhoon, it
has to have wind speeds over 251
kph.)
7. How is the Severity Measured?
It is measured on the Saffir-
Simpson scale from 1-5 based
on wind speed and how much
damage was caused.
8. How Much Damage Was Caused?
160,000 buildings were
destroyed from Typhoon Haiyan.
384,000 acres of land was
destroyed.
Typhoon Haiyan dealt damage
worth $1.5 billion USD.
9. How Many Casualties Were There?
Typhoon Haiyan:
Killed over 6,000 people.
1,800 were reported missing.
