1. INCORPORATING A NEW BODY OF DISASTER KNOWLEDGE IN EM HI-ED COURSES A MAJOR CHALLENGE DR. WALTER HAYS

2. THE QUESTION WHAT CAN YOU AND YOUR INSTITUTION AND COMMUNITY DO TO IMPROVE EM HI-ED?

3. HAZARD MAPS • INVENTORY • VULNERABILITY • CAPACITY • PREPAREDNESS • MITIGATION • MONITORING • EM RESPONSE • RECOVERY & RECONST. EM MANAGEMENT PENETRATING SOCIETY ACCEPTABLE RISK RISK UNACCEPTABLE RISK HIGHER EDUCATION DATA BASES AND INFORMATION YOUR COMMUNITY HAZARDS: GROUND SHAKING GROUND FAILURE SURFACE FAULTING TECTONIC DEFORMATION TSUNAMI RUN UP AFTERSHOCKS

4. SEVEN KINDS OF NOTABLE NATURAL DISASTERS AND THE CALIFORNIA SHAKEOUT EARTHQUAKE SCENARIOS 2008’S NEW BODY OF KNOWLEDGE

5. 2008’S NEW BODY OF DISASTER KNOWLEDGE CYCLONE NARGIS NEW KNOWLEDGE FOR MAKING COMMUNITIES DISASTER RESILIENT WENCHUAN EARTHQUAKE FLOODING IN MIDWESTERN USA NEW OPPOR-TUNITIES TO IMPROVE EM HI-ED TROPICAL STORMS AND HURRICANES WILDFIRES IN CALIFORNIA ERUPTION OF VOLCANO CHAITEN GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE

6. Real and Near- Real Time Monitoring Relocation/Rerouting of Cities and City Lifelines Enlighten Communities on Their Risks Hazard, Vulnerability and Risk Characterization Use Hazard Zonation as a Policy Tool Build Equity Through “PMA” Scenarios Involve Partners in Integrating Experiences Best Practices for Mitigation Adaptation and Monitoring Implement Modern Codes and Lifeline Standards Introduce New Technologies Situation Data Bases Multiply Capability by International Twinning Move Towards A Disaster Intelligent Community Cause & Effect Relationships Update Knowledge Bases After Each Disaster Anticipatory Actions for all Events and Situations Interfaces with all Real- and Near Real-Time Sources Gateways to a Deeper Understanding INTEGRATE 2008’S KNOWLEDGE WITH EXISTING KNOWLEDGE ANNUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR EM HI-ED EVRYWHERE THE KNOWLEDGE BASE APPLICATIONS CONTINUING EDUCATION

7. STRATEGIES FOR CHANGING HUMAN BEHAVIOR AND IMPROVING EM HIGHER EDUCATION A SCENARIO FOR YOUR COMMUNITY

8. EM HI-ED IS AN INCREMENTAL PROCESS ADD 2008’S KNOWLEDGE IMPROVE EM HI-ED REVISIT & CLARIFY GOALS ELEMINATE UNIVERSAL BARRIERS INTEGRATIONSTRATEGIES VISUALIZE SOLUTIONS CONFORMITY OF THINKING & ACTION

9. FOUR STRATEGIES THAT WORK • MAKE THE GOAL CLEAR • MAKE THE GOAL EASY TO VISUALIZE • MAKE THE GOAL POPULAR • MAKE THE GOAL A MANDATE FOR ADOPTING AND IMPLEMENTING A HIGHER-POWER STRATEGY

10. CHANGING HUMAN BEHAVIOR STEP 1:PROVIDE CLEAR INFORMATION ABOUT THE GOAL ANDTHE BARRIERS THAT PREVENT PEOPLE, INSTITUTIONS, AND COMMUNITIES FROM REACHING IT.

11. THE GOAL • BUILDING EQUITY AND PENETRATING SOCIETY,… • ADDING NEW DISASTER KNOWLEDGE TO THE BODY OF EXISTING KNOWLEDGE!

12. FOUR UNIVERSAL BARRIERS BETWEEN YOU AND THE GOAL • IGNORANCE • APATHY • DISCIPLINARY BOUNDARIES • LACK OF POLITICAL WILL

13. CHANGING HUMAN BEHAVIOR STEP 2:VISUALIZE SOLUTIONS THAT WILLOVERCOME HUMAN, INSTITUTIONAL, AND COMMUNITY INERTIA.

14. VISUALIZE SUCCESSFUL EM HI-ED EDUCATION: PENETRATE SOCIETY IGNORANCE TO ENLIGHTENMENT BUILDING EQUITY AND PENETRATING SOCIETY APATHY TO EMPOWERMENT BOUNDARIES TO NETWORKS POLITICAL ENABLEMENT

15. CHANGING HUMAN BEHAVIOR STEP3:PROMOTE CONFORMITY OF THINKING AND ACTING BECAUSEPEOPLE, INSTITUTIONS, AND COMMUNITIES WILL DO WHAT THEY THINK OTHERS ARE DOING.

17. SIX THINKING HATS FOR CREATING AN INTEGRATING STRATEGY

18. SOCIAL SYSTEMS SOCIAL (ARE THE PEOPLE AWARE OF WHAT THEY NEED?) TECHNICAL(IS THE STATE OF KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE BEING APPLIED?) ADMINISTRATIVE(WHO IS RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE?) POLITICAL (ARE PUBLIC POLICIES RELEVANT IN TERMS OF THE THREAT?) COMMUNITY LEGAL(ARE EXISTIN LEGAL MANDATES ENFORCED?) STAPLE FACTORS ECONOMIC (WILLINGNESS AND CAPACITY TO PAY FOR SAFETY?) GOAL: COMMUNITY DISASTER RESILIENCE

20. SIX ACTION SHOES FOR CREATING AN INTEGRATING STRATEGY

21. SIX ACTION SHOES F0R CREATING AN INTEGRATING STRATEGY BROWN BROGUE: FINDING THE RIGHT PARTNERS/PEOPLE FOR EACH HI-ED COURSE! WHITE SNEAKERS: GATHERING THE FACTS! NAVY BLUE SHOES: CREATING STRATEGIC AND TACTICAL PLANS THAT PROVIDE EQUITY FOR EVERYONE! ORANGE RUBBER GUM SHOES: DOING WHAT IS NEEDED WHEN IT IS NEEDED! TAN HOUSE SHOES: CREATING TURNING POINTS FROM A SENSE OF URGENCY! PURPLE RIDING BOOTS: LEADING TO ATTAIN THE GREATER GOOD IN GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE !

22. CHANGING HUMAN BEHAVIOR STEP 4:MANDATE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A STRATEGY THAT HAS A HIGHER POWER THAN THE ONE YOU ARE USING NOW (I.E., AN INTEGRATING STRATEGY).

23. EXAMPLES OF INTEGRATING STRATEGIES 1 + 1 > 2 1 + 1 + 1 + …+ 1 > n 1 + 1 >> ANYTHING

25. FACILITATING ADOPTION OF INTEGRATING STRATEGIES EXPERIENCES WITH PREPAREDNESS EXPERIENCES WITH MONITORING AND WARNING INTEGRATE GLOBAL EXPERIENCES WITH LOCAL EXPERIENCES EXPERIENCES WITH DISASTER SCENARIO PLANNING EXPERIENCES WITH RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCES WITH PREVENTION, MITIGATION, AND ADAPTATION
