The document discusses the concept of vulnerability analysis. It begins by outlining the components of risk such as magnitude, frequency, and duration of hazards. It then examines how vulnerability is socially constructed and influenced by economic, political, and cultural factors. Trends show disasters are increasing in number and cost. The document explores how vulnerability has changed from the 1950s to now due to factors like population growth, urbanization, and inequality. It provides definitions of vulnerability and discusses approaches to reducing vulnerability through community-focused, bottom-up methods. The conclusion suggests disaster risk reduction programs aim to be sustainable and integrated across all phases of the disaster cycle.
Vulnerability describes the characteristics and circumstances of a community, system or asset that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard. There are many aspects of vulnerability, arising from various physical, social, economic, and environmental factors.
The probability that a community’s structure or geographic area is to be damaged or disrupted by the impact of a particular hazard, on account of their nature, construction, and proximity to a hazardous area.
Coping Capacity is the ability of people, organizations and systems, using available skills and resources, to face and manage adverse conditions, emergencies or disasters.
A key concept on the subject DRRR. This entails the definition of vulnerability, types of vulnerability and the key concepts of vulnerability. A summary definition of risk and hazard are also observable.

Taming the ever-evolving Compliance Beast : Lessons learnt at LinkedIn [Strat...Shirshanka Das
Just when you think you have your Kafka and Hadoop clusters set up and humming and you’re well on your path to democratizing data, you realize that you now have a very different set of challenges to solve. You want to provide unfettered access to data to your data scientists, but at the same time, you need to preserve the privacy of your members, who have entrusted you with their data.
Shirshanka Das and Tushar Shanbhag outline the path LinkedIn has taken to protect member privacy in its scalable distributed data ecosystem built around Kafka and Hadoop.
They also discuss three foundational building blocks for scalable data management that can meet data compliance regulations: a centralized metadata system, a standardized data lifecycle management platform, and a unified data access layer. Some of these systems are open source and can be of use to companies that are in a similar situation. Along the way, they also look to the future—specifically, to the General Data Protection Regulation, which comes into effect in 2018—and outline LinkedIn’s plans for addressing those requirements.
But technology is just part of the solution. Shirshanka and Tushar also share the culture and process change they’ve seen happen at the company and the lessons they’ve learned about sustainable process and governance.

Diagnosis of the relative failure of disaster risk reduction in the modern world and proposal for a cure - at least regarding disaster response, if not also prevention.
Will major emergencies in the future be anything like those of the past? To what extent can we derive lessons from past disasters that will help us deal with future ones? This presentation explores these questions.
About the intersection of different kinds of disaster and vulnerability. Complexity of modern disasters and the means of tackling them. Cascading and concurrent major incidents and disasters.
A framework for understanding, analysing and managing cascading disasters, with notes on complexity, compound risks, interacting risks and interconnected risks.
Una previsione del fabbisogno del futuro rispetto alla necessita' di una risposta forte contro i disastri. Due sono i messaggi: (1) dato i rischi che si materializzeranno, avremo bisogno di una protezione civile che e' un ordine di magnitudo piu' forte di quella attuale; (2) dovremo combattere contro la "realta' fabbricata" di false informazioni.
Verso una cultura di prevenzione e mitigazione, ma nello stesso tempo verso la preservazione delle culture umane daglil effetti depredanti dei disastri.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

After Ian Davis (2005)
4. Vulnerability is constructed socially
• it is mainly the result of social,
economic, political and cultural
factors in decision-making
• it is becoming harder to reduce.
5. Trends in disaster losses are unsustainable.
In the second half of the 20th century
the world experienced increases of:
• 250% in the number of recorded disasters
• 500% in number of disasters with victims
• 500% in the number of affected people
• 1640% in the cost
of insured damage.
• 1500% in the total
cost of disasters Disasters

7. • social and technological
complexity are increasing
• fixed capital is being accumulated
• the world is becoming more polarised
• urbanisation and the
growth of "mega-cities".
Societies are becoming
more vulnerable
8. Vulnerability approach
• people, not physical forces, are the
principal cause of risks and disasters
• focus on reducing community vulnerability
• "soft" rather than "hard" approaches
• "bottom-up" (grass roots) approach.

14. Vulnerability is...
• the potential degree of loss resulting
from a particular hazard or set
of hazards of a given magnitude
• the potential for harm
• something that is constructed socially
• the inverse of capability
(coping, resilience).
15. UNESCO / UNDRO (1982) Definitions
of Hazard and Risk Terminology
Vulnerability (V): the degree of loss
to a given element or set of elements
at risk resulting from the occurrence
of a hazardous phenomenon of a given
magnitude. It is expressed on a scale
from 0 (no damage) to 1 (total loss)
16. Vulnerability

35. Vulnerability = 1 / resilience
Resilience: mechanisms for avoiding
impacts or absorbing them by coping
Coping strategies:
• indigenous
• imported
36. What is resilience [resiliency]?
• a combination of resistance and
adaptation (coping, capacity, capability)
• ability to maintain livelihoods and tenor
of life in the face of disaster shocks
• local autonomy and self-sufficiency.
38. • robustness: resist stress
without loss of function
• redundancy: ability to continue
functioning during periods of disruption
• ingenuity: ability to identify
problems and mobilise resources
• rapidity: ability to satisfy objectives
and priorities so as to reduce losses.

44. What is sustainable vulnerability reduction?
• it is centred upon the local level
(but is harmonised from above)
• through consultation it has the support
and involvement of the population
• plans tackle all the phases of the
disaster cycle - in an integrative way
• it is a fundamental, every-day service
for the population and is taken seriously.
