holistic approach and an eclectic method Interaction with the insurance sector and the development of links with government agencies through US, Latin America and the Caribbean are priorities of the Geohazards and Remote Sensing program of the International Hurricane Center. Goal: The prime goal of the Geohazards and Remote Sensing program of the IHC, is to provide geoscientific basis for the mitigation of natural disasters through the implementation of microzonation as a tool in vulnerability assessment. Objectives: The aims of the Geohazards and Remote Sensing program of the IHC are: 1) To develop research projects on natural and human-made disasters through collaboration with other national and international research groups. Special emphasis is given to inland effects of hurricanes. 2) To develop new methods and models for geohazards, and vulnerability and risk assessment adequate for the industry and government needs. 3) To attract graduate students and post-doctoral fellows to study different aspects of geohazards and their mitigation. Research Projects: The Geohazard and Remote Sensing program emphasizes microzonation as a methodological approach to study natural disasters. The concept of microzonation implies the division of land surface into areas and ranking them according to degrees of actual or potential geohazard. The technique of microzonation is fundamentally designed to show the spatial variation of risk of a given geological hazard. including: 1) acceptable risk in spatial terms, 2) where to concentrate resources and 3) where to send emergency services during critical periods.

  • Additional Protocol I provides, inter alia , that "[t]he starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is prohibited" and that "[i]t is prohibited to attack, destroy, remove or render useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population, such as foodstuffs, agricultural areas for the production of foodstuffs, crops, livestock, drinking water installations and supplies and irrigation works, for the specific purpose of denying them, for their sustenance value to the civilian population or to the adverse party, whatever the motive, whether in order to starve out civilians, to cause them to move away, or for any other motive.", and that "these objects shall not be made the object of reprisals".

By Choice or by Chance: How the Internet Is Used to Prepare for, Manage, and Share Information about Emergencies by Laurie Putnam
Access to reliable information is essential for emergency managers, whether they're facing tornados or terrorist attacks. How well information is managed before, during, and after a disaster can have a direct influence on how well the crisis is managed. Today the Internet plays a recurring role in all phases of emergency information management. As a communication system and an information repository, a strategic tool and a populist medium, the Internet can be a powerful element in crisis situations. It has been readily used in recent crises and it will, no doubt, be used in the next emergency, by choice or by chance. The choice must be made to use it well. This article explores the implications of the Internet for agencies that work to mitigate, prepare for, and respond to natural and human-made disasters. It also looks at implications of the Internet for members of the general public who are directly or indirectly affected by disasters.

PREVENTING TECHNOLOGICAL DISASTERS
by William M. Evan and Mark Manion
“Technological breakthroughs have revolutionized our lives, but some of them have also led
to
catastrophe. In this book, two leading experts in technological risk assessment and
mitigation analyze nearly three dozen disasters - from Chernobyl to Challenger, the Bhopal
gas leak to the Exxon Valdez oil spill. They present lessons learned and preventive strategies for all four leading causes of disaster: technical design, human factors, organizational system factors, and socio-cultural factors . They also identify appropriate preventive roles for every participant in technological systems, from corporations to individual citizens.” "A superb book on how to prevent and minimize technological disasters." - P.

Instructions to groups.
By now you have your disaster topic - and your group has been formed.
You now need to assign roles. Remember that you need a 'Webmaster' (this person will put the page together - they will design the layout and 'look' of the page - they will also be responsible for uploading the page onto the school's web site). Other team members will be responsible for the research elements of the team's website (most will be looking for the best sites to link to - one will focus on finding the best image to go on the site (this person will need to write to the owner of the image for the appropriate permission). Your website should focus on providing the links to sites which will give the best help in such matters as:
  • Describing and defining the disaster. Where does it occur? When does it occur? What damage is caused? How is it caused? What can we do to minimise its impact on humans? Can you find records of historical events regarding the incidence of this disaster?

Glossary of International Disaster Assistance Terms
This glossary is intended as an aid to generalists working in the disaster assistance field. It has been prepared with the hope that terms common in the disaster assistance vocabulary will be rendered more comprehensible to all interested individuals, whether they be disaster relief specialists or specialists in related fields.
It is also hoped that this glossary will help standardize terms frequently used in international seminars on disaster preparedness. The glossary will be revised and updated as needs dictate. Anyone wishing to offer a term for inclusion should feel free to do so.
A
Acceleration a change in velocity due to gravity; in earthquake hazard analysis, it is expressed as a fraction of gravity pull (g).
Adjustments any physical or structural rearrangement of the environment to safeguard human life and property, such as the building of dams or windbreaks, or the strengthening of buildings.
Aerial reconnaissance the survey of a disaster area by air to determine extent and type of destruction.
