  1. STRATEGIES FOR BECOMING DISASTER RESILIENT DURING 2013 Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA 

  2. PART 5: EDUCATIONAL SURGES TO BUILD GLOBAL CAPACITY FOR DISASTER RESILIENCE

  3. FIVE PILLARS OF RESILIENCE • NATURAL HAZARDS • INVENTORY • VULNERABILITY • LOCATION • PREPAREDNESS • PROTECTION • EARLY WARNING • EMERGENCY RESPONSE • RECOVERY IENCE RISK ASSESSMENT ACCEPTABLE RISK RISK UNACCEPTABLE RISK GOAL: DISASTER RESILIENCE DATA BASES AND INFORMATION YOUR COMMUNITY HAZARDS: GROUND SHAKING GROUND FAILURE SURFACE FAULTING TECTONIC DEFORMATION TSUNAMI RUN UP AFTERSHOCKS

  4. 2013 IS A GOOD TIME FOR A GLOBAL SURGE IN EDUCATIONAL, TECHNICAL, AND POLITICAL CAPACITY BUILDING IN ALL FIVE PILLARS OF COMMUNITY DISASTERRESILIENCE

  5. WEKNOW WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO DO IT, SO A SURGE TO BUILD TECHNICAL AND POLITICAL CAPACITY FOR ALL FIVE PILLARS OF DISASTER RESILIENCE IS REALISTIC

  6. THE GOAL

  7. THE GOAL: INFUSION OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE BY 1,000,000+ PEOPLE IN A CONCERTED, INNOVATIVE EFFORT TO BUILD GLOBAL CAPACITY FOR DISASTER RESILIENCE

  8. PROF. EDUCATION & TRAINING LEADERSHIP CODES & STANDARDS INNOVATION COMMUNITY PLANNING PARTNERSHIPS IDENTIFY/ FIX VULNERABILITIES FOCUS COMMUNITY READINESS PUBLIC AWARENESS RESILIENCE TARGETS SURGE ATTRIBUTES

  9. LINKAGES A GLOBAL RESOURCE GLOBAL ED. SURGES KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE DISASTER RESILIENCE FOR ALL COMMUNITIES CONTINUING EDUCATION AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE DISASTER LABORATORIES ISLAND NATIONS PARTNERS: EDUCATIONAL SURGES SUBSAHARA AFRICA REGION PARTNERS: - Strategic Interactions - LATIN AMERICA AND CARIBBEAN REGION PARTNERS: CAPACITY BUILDING EUROPEAN REGION PARTNERS: TRAINING MEDITERRANEAN REGION PARTNERS: MEETINGS ASIAN REGION PARTNERS: INCREASED GLOBAL DISASTER RESILIENCE NORTH AMERICAN REGION PARTNERS:

  10. THE CURRICULUUM

  11. WE HAVE BOOKS OF KNOWLEDGE TO PROVIDE THE CURRICULUUM FOR EDUCATIONAL SURGES FOR EVERY COMMUNITY

  12. GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE - Perspectives On Science, Policy, And Change

  13. COMMUNITY KNOWLEDGE - Perspectives On Science, Policy, And Change

  14. GLOBAL EXPERIENCES - Perspectives On Science, Policy, And Change

  15. Natural Phenomena that Cause Disasters Planet Earth’s water cycle often produces too much water for the drainage system to handle, which causes: • Floods.

  16. CAUSES OF RISK LOSS OF FUNCTION OF STRUCTURES IN FLOODPLAIN INUNDATION INTERACTION WITH HAZARDOUS MATERIALS STRUCTURAL/CONTENTS DAMAGE FROM WATER FLOODS WATER BORNE DISEASES (HEALTH PROBLEMS) CASE HISTORIES EROSION AND MUDFLOWS CONTAMINATION OF GROUND WATER

  17. Natural Phenomena that Cause Disasters Planet Earth’s atmospheric-oceanic interactions cause: • Hurricanes, Typhoons, Tornados

  18. CAUSES OF RISK WIND PENETRATING BUILDING ENVELOPE UPLIFT OF ROOF SYSTEM FLYING DEBRIS STORM SURGE SEVERE WINDSTORMS IRREGULARITIES IN ELEVATION AND PLAN “DISASTER LABORATORIES” SITING PROBLEMS FLOODING AND LANDSLIDES

  19. Natural Phenomena that Cause Disasters Planet Earth’s Restlessness causes: • Earthquakes

  20. CAUSES OF RISK INADEQUATE RESISTANCE TO HORIZONTAL GROUND SHAKING SOIL AMPLIFICATION PERMANENT DISPLACEMENT (SURFACE FAULTING & GROUND FAILURE) IRREGULARITIES IN ELEVATION AND PLAN EARTHQUAKES TSUNAMI WAVE RUNUP “DISASTER LABORATORIES” LACK OF DETAILING AND CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS INATTENTION TO NON-STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS

  21. Natural Phenomena that Cause Disasters Planet Earth’s Restlessness causes: • Tsunamis

  22. CAUSES OF RISK HIGH VELOCITY IMPACT OF INCOMING WAVES INLAND DISTANCE OF WAVE RUNUP VERTICAL HEIGHT OF WAVE RUNUP INADEQUATE RESISTANCE OF BUILDINGS TSUNAMIS FLOODING “DISASTER LABORATORIES” INADEQUATE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL EVACUATION PROXIMITY TO SOURCE OF TSUNAMI

  23. Natural Phenomena that Cause Disasters Planet Earth’s Restlessness causes: • Volcanic Eruptions

  24. CAUSES OF RISK LATERAL BLAST PYROCLASTIC FLOWS FLYING DEBRIS VOLCANIC ASH VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS LAVA FLOWS “DISASTER LABORATORIES” LAHARS TOXIC GASES

  25. Natural Phenomena that Cause Disasters Planet Earth’s Restlessness causes: • Landslides

  26. CAUSES OF RISK SITING AND BUILDING ON UNSTABLE SLOPES SOIL AND ROCK SUCEPTIBLE TO FALLS SOIL AND ROCK SUCEPTIBLE TO TOPPLES SOIL AND ROCK SUCEPTIBLE TO SPREADS LANDSLIDES SOIL AND ROCK SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLOWS “DISASTER LABORATORIES” PRECIPITATION THAT TRIGGERS SLOPE FAILURE SHAKING GROUND SHAKING THAT TRIGGERS SLOPE FAILURE

  27. Natural Phenomena that Cause Disasters Planet Earth’s atmospheric-lithospheric interactions cause: • Wildfires

  28. CAUSES OF RISK LIGHTNING STRIKES MANMADE FIRES PROXIMITY OF URBAN AREA TO THE WILDLAND FIRE WIND SPEED AND DIRECTION (DAY/NIGHT) WILDFIRES DRYNESS “DISASTER LABORATORIES” HIGH TEMPERATURES LOCAL FUEL SUPPLY

  29. Natural Phenomena that Cause Disasters Planet Earth’s atmospheric-lithospheric interactions causes: • Droughts

  30. Natural Phenomena that can Cause Disasters Planet Earth’s solar-atmospheric-oceanic-lithospheric,- and PEOPLE interactions may be causing: • Global Climate Change

  31. CAUSES OF RISK INCREASING GLOBAL TEMPERATURE INCREASING SEA LEVEL MELTING OF GLACIERS MELTING OF GREENLAND, ETC/ GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE CORRAL BLEACHING PREDICTIONSNO “DISASTER LABORATORIES” INCREASED DESERTIFICATION INTENSIFIED SEVERE WINDVSTORMS

  32. Natural Phenomena that Change our Environment Planet Earth is presently warming up, as shown by: • Increase in sea level

  33. Natural Phenomena that Change our Environment Planet Earth is presently warming up, as shown by: • Advances of deserts

  34. THE KEYS TO SUCCESS

  35. INNOVATION, STRATEGY, AND TACTICS START SMART BY INTEGRATING EXISTING KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE! BUILD ON EXISTING GLOBAL PARTNERSHIPS! START NOW WITH NO LET UP UNTIL THE GOAL IS REACHED!

  36. INNOVATION GLOBAL: DISASTER RESILIENCE FUNCTIONAL NETWORKING CHANNELS INFORMATION NETWORKING CHANNELS EDUCATIONAL SURGES ORGANIZATION NETWORKING CHANNELS PRIVATE SECTOR PUBLIC SECTOR COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS ACADEMIA Stratec Consulting

  37. EDUCATORS (KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATORS) CITIZENS (BENEFICIARIES) STAKE- HOLDERS (PRACTI- TIONERS) POWER STRUCTURE (POLICY MAKERS) STRATEGY: BUILD CAPACITY IN THE BIG FOUR OF THE COMMUNITY

  38. FOUR STRATEGIES THAT WORK • MAKE THE GOAL CLEAR • MAKE THE GOAL AND ITS BENEFITS AND POTENTIAL BARRIERS EASY TO VISUALIZE • MAKE THE GOAL POPULAR • MAKE THE GOAL A POLITICAL MANDATE FOR REALISTIC POLICIES

  39. OVERCOME THE BARRIERS TO SUCCESS

  40. APATHY LACK OF CAPACITY LACK OF TRAINING POLICY FLAWS BARRIERS TO DISASTER-RESILIENCE IN ALL COMMUNITIES RISK

  41. SUCCESS

  42. RISK ASSESSMENT • VULNERABILITY • EXPOSURE • EVENT • COST • BENEFIT GLOBAL NATURAL DISASTERS EXPECTED LOSS DISASTER RESILIENCE • CONSEQUENCES POLICY IMPLEMENTATION TOWARDS GLOBAL DISASTER RESILIENCE
