Book excerpt: The impacts of natural and man-made disasters have increased exponentially over the past few decades. Moreover, with our global interconnectedness and the growing scale of disasters, today's catastrophic disasters can have regional, national, and even global economic consequences. Following in the tradition of the successful first edition, Hazards Analysis: Reducing the Impact of Disasters, Second Edition provides a structure and process for understanding the nature of natural and human-caused disasters. Stressing the role of hazard risk management for public, private, and nonprofit organizations, the author and expert contributors cover problem solving, risk analysis, and risk communications to ensure readers are in a position to identify key problems associated with hazards and the risks that they present. The book details a systematic process of hazards identification, vulnerability determination, and consequence assessment for the natural, built, and human environment. Using a cross-disciplinary approach, this book effectively demonstrates how to use the results of vulnerability assessment, spatial analysis, and community planning to reduce adverse disaster outcomes and foster social, economic, and environmental sustainability. Throughout, the book stresses that hazards analysis is not an isolated process but one that must engage the local community. Complete with clearly set objectives, key terms, discussion questions, satellite images and maps, and ancillary websites for further study, this authoritative guide covers every element of the hazard analysis process in a step-by-step format. Hazards Analysis presents time-proven strategies for building sustainable communities, identifying and prioritizing risks, and establishing successful disaster prevention and relief strategies prior to a disaster.

Book Synopsis A Theory of Immediate Awareness by : M. Estep
Download or read book A Theory of Immediate Awareness written by M. Estep and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is multi- and interdisciplinary in both scope and content. It draws upon philosophy, the neurosciences, psychology, computer science, and engineering in efforts to resolve fundamental issues about the nature of immediate awareness. Approximately the first half of the book is addressed to historical approaches to the question whether or not there is such a thing as immediate awareness, and if so, what it might be. This involves reviewing arguments that one way or another have been offered as answers to the question or ways of avoiding it. It also includes detailed discussions of some complex questions about the part immediate awareness plays in our over-all natural intelligence. The second half of the book addresses intricate and complex issues involved in the computability of immediate awareness as it is found in simple, ordinary things human beings know how to do, as weIl as in some highly extraordinary things some know how to do. Over the past 2,500 years, human culture has discovered, created, and built very powerful tools for recognizing, classifying, and utilizing patterns found in the natural world. The most powerful of those tools is mathematics, the language of nature. The natural phenomenon of human knowing, of natural intelligence generally, is a very richly textured set of patterns that are highly complex, dynamic, self-organizing, and adaptive.

Book excerpt: The July 1996 issue of the Natural Hazards Observer (p. 10) noted the formal announcement -of the new National Earthquake Loss Reduction Program (NEP). This new program builds upon-but does not supplant-the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), which is legislated by Congress. Sincere the formal announcement, several significant events have transpired. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which has 'lead agency' responsibility for the NEHRP and the NEP, has created a National Earthquake Program Office as part of its Mitigation Directorate. The NEP office director reports directly to the associate director for mitigation. In June, the NEP agencies held a two-day retreat at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in - Gaithersburg, Maryland, to begin strategic planning. This effort builds on the Office of Science and Technology Policy report that recommended establishment of the NEP, as well as other reviews of the NEHRP in the past several years. The group drafted goals for the NEP and two sets of objectives; one for the NEP office and one for the NEP as a whole. The agencies reconvened in early October to consider the results of these efforts. Soon, the proposed goals and objectives will be shared for comment by the many nonfederal groups interested in - earthquake hazards reduction.

Download or read book Natural Hazards Observer. Volume 24, Number 6, July 2000 written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not all hazard-generating processes are independent of time or human influence. Even if hazards did not vary with time, the associated risks would inevitably increase since populations and hazard-exposed assets increase with time. - Yet, do we allow for these sometimes human-induced factors in our risk mitigation policies and actions? Not as much as we should. Quantitative probabilistic hazard assessment is generally based on the record of past hazardous events and used to account for present and near future hazards. However, the catalog of hazardous events is not always the only input to the assessment. Sometimes, generalized models based on the historic record that account for the physical processes in the region are used. To be maximally effective, the latest scientific knowledge must be applied when estimating future hazards and risks. Take, for instance, National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) maps. For most localities, flood zones were mapped many decades ago. Since then, in many of the most rapidly developing regions of the U.S., land-use patterns have drastically changed, altering the ability of the land to absorb high amounts of precipitation and to extend the duration of run-off in rivers and floodplains. Flooding beyond designated flood zones appears to be increasing, although systematic surveys to confirm this notion are generally lacking. Hence, flood-zone mapping does not depict the present state of the hazard, nor have we evaluated other increasing risk exposures threatening many parts of the U.S.
