Download or read book Developing a Post Disaster Damage Assessment in Burlington Township written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With natural and man-made disasters increasing in frequency and severity across the country, the damage assessment process plays a key role in emergency management. Damage assessment information is vital for local, county, state, and federal disaster declarations to be obtained. The problem that was identified for this research project is the Burlington Township Fire Department (BTFD) does not have a formal comprehensive post disaster damage assessment process. The purpose of the research was to identify components of a standardized process for post disaster assessments to ensure that consistent and reliable information is reported to Emergency Management. The descriptive research methodology was used to answer the following questions: (a) what information should be collected during a damage assessment; (b) how can damage assessment data be collected; (c) who should collect damage assessment information; and (d) how should a damage assessment be organized? Personal interviews, a survey, and a comprehensive literature review were utilized to answer the four research questions. The results identified key components of an assessment that include creation of damage assessment teams, use of computer programs for data collection and transmission, data collection guidelines, and how to organize the assessment process. The recommendations included composition of assessment teams, utilization of FEMA's 4 point methodology, training, documentation, communication, creation of critical documents, utilization of technology, and updating the emergency management plan. Implementation of the recommendations will result in the development of a formal comprehensive damage assessment process and the improvement of emergency management operations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Floods can have a devastating impact on life, property and economic resources. However, the systematic collection of damage data in the aftermath of flood events can contribute to future risk mitigation. Such data can support a variety of actions including the identification of priorities for intervention during emergencies, the creation of complete event scenarios to tailor risk mitigation strategies, the definition of victim compensation schemes, and the validation of damage models to feed cost-benefit analysis of mitigation actions. Volume highlights include: Compilation of real world case studies elaborating on the survey experiences and best practices associated with flood damage data collection, storage and analysis, that can help strategize flood risk mitigation in an efficient manner Coverage of different flooding phenomena such as riverine and mountain floods, spatial analysis from local to global scales, and stakeholder perspectives, e.g. public decision makers, researchers, private companies Contributions from leading experts in the field, researchers and practitioners, including civil protection actors working at different spatial and administrative level, insurers, and professionals working in the field of natural hazard risks mitigation Flood Damage Survey and Assessment: New Insights from Research and Practice will be a valuable resource for earth scientists, hydrologists, meteorologists, geologists, geographers, civil engineers, insurers, policy makers, and planners.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our approach achieves a precision of 88% when compared against official flooding estimates. Practical deployment of this approach depends on how the current practices and technologies used by CAP are tailored to improve damage detection and localization. To this end, we propose the following technical and policy recommendations: 1) Implement best practices that allow for a high-quality image sequences that can be labeled and georeferenced using modern computer vision techniques; 2) Incorporate other sensing modalities such as satellite imagery into CAP imagery analysis for quantitative damage assessment over large spatial regions; and 3) Invest in low altitude imaging technologies and benchmark dataset development.

Download or read book Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-09-10 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the devastation that follows a major disaster, there is a need for multiple sectors to unite and devote new resources to support the rebuilding of infrastructure, the provision of health and social services, the restoration of care delivery systems, and other critical recovery needs. In some cases, billions of dollars from public, private and charitable sources are invested to help communities recover. National rhetoric often characterizes these efforts as a "return to normal." But for many American communities, pre-disaster conditions are far from optimal. Large segments of the U.S. population suffer from preventable health problems, experience inequitable access to services, and rely on overburdened health systems. A return to pre-event conditions in such cases may be short-sighted given the high costs - both economic and social - of poor health. Instead, it is important to understand that the disaster recovery process offers a series of unique and valuable opportunities to improve on the status quo. Capitalizing on these opportunities can advance the long-term health, resilience, and sustainability of communities - thereby better preparing them for future challenges. Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters identifies and recommends recovery practices and novel programs most likely to impact overall community public health and contribute to resiliency for future incidents. This book makes the case that disaster recovery should be guided by a healthy community vision, where health considerations are integrated into all aspects of recovery planning before and after a disaster, and funding streams are leveraged in a coordinated manner and applied to health improvement priorities in order to meet human recovery needs and create healthy built and natural environments. The conceptual framework presented in Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters lays the groundwork to achieve this goal and provides operational guidance for multiple sectors involved in community planning and disaster recovery. Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters calls for actions at multiple levels to facilitate recovery strategies that optimize community health. With a shared healthy community vision, strategic planning that prioritizes health, and coordinated implementation, disaster recovery can result in a communities that are healthier, more livable places for current and future generations to grow and thrive - communities that are better prepared for future adversities.

Download or read book Analysis of Employment of a Disaster Relief Damage Assessment System Using Discrete Event Simulation written by Richard J. Bridgett and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project uses discrete event simulation to model and analyze the process of setting up and employing a damage assessment system for information-gathering after a disaster. The process that is modeled was originally performed as a live simulation in May of 2008. The live simulation experiment was conducted by a research team affiliated with the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), including the author, and was based on a post-tsunami scenario that combined numerous surveillance and communications technologies. With information obtained from this experiment, a discrete event simulation model was created to accurately represent the live simulation. The model was then enhanced to include realistic variability for all processes. In addition, further enhanced models were created to simulate likely equipment failures and weather delays in order to estimate how long the process would take given these various conditions. The addition of delays to the model resulted in more realistic cycle times giving the project increased validity. The project provides the Disaster Relief/Humanitarian (DR/HA) research community a realistic analysis tool for assessing the process of setting up and employing a damage assessment system following a disaster and the results give an expected completion time and range under the conditions modeled.
