  1. INCORPORATING“LAST YEAR’S” DISASTER INFORMATION IN “THIS YEAR’S” EDUCATIONAL SURGES (Part 4) Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, University of North Carolina, USA

  2. GOAL: A STRATEGIC USE OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE GAINED FROM “LAST YEAR’S” DISASTERS IN “THIS YEAR’S” GLOBAL EDUCATIONAL SURGES A SIMPLE CONCEPT WITH A HIGH BENEFIT TO COST RATIO

  3. AN EDUCATIONAL SURGE IS MORE EFFECTIVE IF IT INCLUDES “LAST YEAR’S” CHAPTER IN THE “GLOBAL BOOKS OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE.”

  4. BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE - Perspectives On Science, Policy, And EM HI-ED

  5. BOOK OF EXPERIENCE - Perspectives On Science, Policy, And EM HI-ED

  6. GOAL: COMMUNITY DISASTER RESILIENCE FLOODS IMPROVE ON PAST PERFORMANCE SEVERE WIND STORMS EARTHQUAKES INCREASED TECHNICAL AND POLITICL CAPACITY OF COMMUNITY TO COPE DROUGHTS INCREASED OWNERSHIP AND USE OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE LANDSLIDES WILDFIRES VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS TSUNAMIS GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE TECHNOLOGICAL HAZARDS

  7. NOTABLE DISASTER TYPES IN 2008 CYCLONE NARGIS NEW KNOWLEDGE FOR COMMUNITY DISASTER RISK REDUCTION WENCHUAN EARTHQUAKE FLOODING IN MIDWESTERN USA CATALYSTS FOR CHANGE TROPICAL STORMS AND HURRICANES WILDFIRES IN CALIFORNIA ERUPTION OF VOLCANO CHAITEN GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE

  8. EXECUTIVE SUMMARYWHAT HAPPENED DURING 2008’S SEVERE WINDSTORMS

  9. 2008 TROPICAL STORM/HURRICANE/TYPHOON SEASON JUNE 1 – NOVEMBER 30, 2008

  10. PATHS OF 2008’s 16 NAMED ATLANTIC STORMS

  11. TYPICAL PHYSICAL EFFECTS AND IMPACTS HIGH VELOCITY WINDS HEAVY RAINFALL FLOODING (Storm Surge; Runoff) LANDSLIDES POWER OUTAGES AGRICULTURAL LOSSES

  12. TROPICAL STORM KYLE: SEPTEMBER 26, 2008

  13. TROPICAL STORM KYLE BECOMES HURRICANE KYLE: SEPT 25-29 11TH NAMED STORM OF 2008 SEASON KYLE TAKES A RARE PATH TOWARD NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA

  14. HURRICANE KYLE: SEPTEMBER 27, 2008

  15. TROPICAL STORM LAURA: SEPT 30 – OCT 1 STORM WEAKENS IN THE COLD WATERS OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC AND HEADS TOWARD SCOTLAND

  30. TROPICAL STORM NANA: OCTOBER 12, 2008

  31. MARCOS, NANA, OPRAH, AND PALOMA COMPLETED THE SEASON • The factors that contribute to the formation of hurricanes were in place longer than usual during 2008 (e.g., warm ocean temperature, and low wind shear).

  32. NEUTRAL EL NINO CONDITIONS • Neutral El Nino conditions continued throughout the 2008 season. • El Nino is the eastern Pacific warm water phenomenon that dampens the formation of tropical storms in the Atlantic.

  33. CONCEPTS OF EDUCATIONAL SURGES THAT MOVE COMMUNITIES TOWARDS DISASTER RESILIENCE

  34. FOUR UNIVERSAL BARRIERS TO USING “LAST YEAR’S” INFORMATION • IGNORANCE • APATHY • DISCIPLINARY BOUNDARIES • LACK OF POLITICAL WILL

  35. EDUCATIONAL SURGES CREATE TURNING POINTS ALL SECTORS OF SOCIETY INFORMED IGNORANCE TO ENLIGHTENMENT EDUCATIONAL SURGES WILL CHANGE THE COMMUNITY APATHY TO EMPOWERMENT BOUNDARIES TO NETWORKS STATUS QUO TO GOOD POLITICAL DECISIONS

  36. EDUCATIONAL SURGE RELEVANT PUBLIC AWARENESS BASIC OBJECTIVES FOR LAUNCHING AN EDUCATIONAL SURGE INCREASE UNDERSTANDING POLITICAL ENABLEMENT BUILD EQUITY

  37. BENEFITS OF EDUCATIONAL SURGES EXPAND CAPABILITY IMPROVE DELIVERY MECHANISMS EDUCATIONAL SURGES OVERCOME UNIVERSAL BARRIERS CREATE TURNING POINTS OF CHANGE INCREASE COMMUNITY DISASTER RESILIENCE

  38. Hazard Characterization Policy Makers Update Knowledge Bases After Each Disaster Vulnerability Assessments Practitioners Disaster Scenarios Up Close, Virtual, and Distance Learning Risk and Loss Assessments Emergency Managers Intelligent Emergency Management Disaster-Risk Reduction Training Tailored to Community Needs Cause & Effect Relationships Information Technology Real & Near Real Time Information Flow Interface with Multiple Networks Increased Understanding TOPICS AND TARGETS OF EDUCATIONAL SURGES A PROCESS THAT IS DESIGNED TO PENETRATE SOCIETY THE KNOWLEDGE BASE CAPACITY BUILDING CONTINUING EDUCATION

  39. BENEFITS OF AN EDUCATIONAL SURGE • Increasing the "World's Mutual Fund for Education,"(i.e., the in-country resources for education in the budget of every nation)

  40. BENEFITS OF AN EDUCATIONAL SURGE • Capacity-building activities on different scales will eventually overcome the universal barriers ofignorance, apathy, disciplinary boundaries, and lack of political will.

  41. BENEFITS OF AN EDUCATIONAL SURGE • Increased community disaster resilience (NOTE: Megacities are a special challenge)

  42. BENEFITS OF AN EDUCATIONAL SURGE • Transferring ownership of knowledge and technologyfor increasing disaster-risk reduction for people, habitats, livelihoods, cultural heritage, and infrastructure

  43. BENEFITS OF AN EDUCATIONAL SURGE • Facilitates equipping, linking, and engaginglegions of new and emerging professionals with mature professionals

  44. BENEFITS OF AN EDUCATIONAL SURGE • Intensifies effortsin high-risk locations. • Decreases vulnerabilities in essential (schools) and critical (hospitals, dams, and power plants) facilities.

  45. MEASURING CHANGE NEW RESOURCES NEW DELIVERY MECHANISMS EDUCATIONAL SURGES SHOULD RESULT IN … NEW PROFESSIONAL LINKAGES NEW LEGISLATIVE MANDATES NEW DIALOGUE ON BUILDING A CULTURE OF DISASTER-RISK REDUCTION

  46. PRINCIPLES (Improving on the past) REDUCTION IN MAGNITUDE OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC LOSSES FROM NATURAL HAZARDS MEASURING CHANGE

  47. PRINCIPLES (Improving on the past) REDUCTION IN NUMBER AND MAGNITUDE OF ANNUAL NATURAL DISASTERS MEASURING CHANGE

  48. PRINCIPLES (Improving on the past) INCREASED EFFECTIVENESS OF EDUCAT-IONAL SURGES TO BUILD PROFESSIONL CAPACITY FOR DISASTER REXILIENCE MEASURING CHANGE

  49. PRINCIPLES (Improving on the past) DECREASE IN IGNORANCE, APATHY, DISCIPLINARY BOUNDARIES, AND LACK OF POLITICAL WILL MEASURING CHANGE

  50. PRINCIPLES (Improving on the Past) INCREASE IN TRAINING MEASURING CHANGE
