This book was released on 2009-01-22 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the biggest threats today is the uncertainty surrounding the emergence of a novel pathogen or the re-emergence of a known infectious disease that might result in disease outbreaks with great losses of human life and immense global economic consequences. Over the past six decades, most of the emerging infectious disease events in humans have been caused by zoonotic pathogens-those infectious agents that are transmitted from animals to humans. In June 2008, the Institute of Medicine's and National Research Council's Committee on Achieving Sustainable Global Capacity for Surveillance and Response to Emerging Diseases of Zoonotic Origin convened a workshop. This workshop addressed the reasons for the transmission of zoonotic disease and explored the current global capacity for zoonotic disease surveillance.

This book was released on 2012-07-18 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents seven examples of Early Warning Systems for hydrometeorological and other hazards that have proven effective in reducing losses due to these hazards. The cases studied encompass a variety of climatic regimes and stages of economic development, raging across the industrialized countries of Germany, France, Japan and the United States, to Bangladesh, the island nation of Cuba and the mega-city of Shanghai. Demonstrated characteristics of these exemplary cases are synthesized into ten guiding principles for successful early warning systems that will, it is hoped, prove useful to countries seeking to develop or strengthen such systems within their own borders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Early Warning and Monitoring System(EWAMS) is being developed, tested and transferred at the direction of the Cybernetics Technology Office of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA/CTO). The EWAMS is being developed to assist the intelligence community by providing them with an interactive computer-based system of political, economic, and domestic indicators for daily monitoring of international and intranational affairs and for warning of crisis and conflict. The EWAMS has been designed to fulfill three basic needs of potential users. First, it can be used as an information retrieval system. The EWAMS allows users to retrieve data on the historical, political actions taken by countries as far back as 1966. Second, the system can be used as a monitoring system. Users can monitor the entire international political environment on a daily basis. Third, the EWAMS can be used as warning system. It allows users to receive numerical assessments of the probability of a crisis on a monthly basis. The EWAMS is comprised of several independent computer programs. This users guide contains an overview of these programs and a description of their operation. The EWAMS program is designed to be implemented on a Tektronix 4051 in interaction with a PDP/11-70 computer. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is extremely vulnerable to catastrophic earthquakes. More than 143 million Americans may be threatened by damaging earthquakes in the next 50 years. This study argues that the United States is unprepared for the most catastrophic earthquakes the country faces today. Earthquake early warning systems are a major solution in practice to reduce economic risk, to protect property and the environment, and to save lives. Other countries have already built earthquake early warning systems, but only after they suffered devastating earthquakes. In the United States, ShakeAlert is the available solution, but it only operates on a test basis in California and still lacks sufficient capability and sustained funding to become operational. This study applies an input-output model of political systems theory to analyze how the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program, which controls the development of ShakeAlert, functions in the United States. Using this model provides a framework for a discourse of the analysis to determine how the consequences of catastrophic earthquakes shape our decisions and policies for ShakeAlert.This study also examines what changes are required within our political system for ShakeAlert to launch as quickly as possible on a national scale and to allow for its sustained integration within the American preparedness culture. Perhaps most importantly, the implementation of ShakeAlert will help prepare the people, businesses, infrastructure, economies, and communities, hopefully before the next significant earthquake impacts the United States. Will the United States have to experience a devastating earthquake before implementing a solution that is recognized to save lives?I. INTRODUCTION * A. PROBLEM STATEMENT * B. RESEARCH QUESTIONS * C.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report gives a concept description of the Environmental Early Warning System (EEWS) developed by the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL). The EEWS is an interactive computer system designed to give the Department of Army Headquarters and Major Command planning and decision-making personnel a way to quickly find potential environment-related problems associated with proposed changes in troop strength, mission, facilities, natural resource management, and land use. The system is designed to help Army managers during the earliest stages of Army planning and is not a substitute for current planning methods or Enivronmental Assessments or Impact Statements. Included are a system description from the user's point of view, a brief explanation of how the system calculates results, and descriptions of the system's tabular and location-specific data handling capabilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RAND Project Air Force was tasked with developing a new capability for planners: a retention early warning system (REWS) that alerts policymakers when a subgroup of U.S. Air Force (USAF) military members is at risk for future shortages. The goal of the research project was to develop a forecasting model for retention, operationalized within a prototype decision-support application, that can alert decisionmakers to emerging problems and thus allow them enough time to consider adjusting accession and retention policies before shortages occur. The authors' overall approach to designing the system drew on widely used paradigms for solving data science problems. These paradigms emphasize understanding the business problem, drawing on a wide array of data sources and types, testing several flexible prediction approaches to optimize performance, and operationalizing the information for decisionmaking. To gain an understanding of the data sources that would be desirable for this application, the authors performed an extensive review of the turnover literature and identified gaps in existing USAF data collection efforts.

Download or read book America's Space Sentinels written by Jeffrey Richelson and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During much of the Cold War, America's first line of defense was in outer space: a network of secret satellites that could provide instant warning of an enemy missile launch. The presence of these infrared sensors orbiting 22,000 miles above the earth discouraged a Soviet first strike and stabilized international relations between the superpowers, and they now play a crucial role in monitoring the missile programs of China, India, and other emerging nuclear powers. Jeffrey Richelson has written the first comprehensive history of this vital program, tracing its evolution from the late 1950s to the present. He puts Defense Support Program operations in the context of world events - from Russian missile programs to the Gulf War - and explains how DSP's infrared sensors are used to detect meteorites, monitor forest fires, and even gather industrial intelligence by "seeing" the lights of steel mills.
