This book was released on 2012-07-30 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) continually strives to improve the delivery of disaster assistance to states and local governments. The Hazard Mitigation Field Book (HMFB) for Roadways assists entities directly affected by catastrophic events and disasters by suggesting mitigation measures. The mitigation measures are intended to help in identifying mitigation options and solutions for local jurisdictions and can be used at any time, and not just after a disaster. As disasters have grown in frequency and severity, the costs of response and recovery have escalated to unsustainable levels. Obligations through the Federal Disaster Relief Fund ballooned from 2.8 billion in 1992 to 34.4 billion in 2005 due to damages associated with the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons. The most effective way to reduce these excessive losses is through disaster preparedness and mitigation. To best achieve this goal, we need to pursue two objectives: 1) Break the disaster-rebuild disaster cycle. Merely repairing substandard infrastructure and elements to their pre-disaster condition does not protect the community from future disaster damages or reduce long-term costs. Mitigation improvements should always be considered in the rebuilding process, utilizing a multi-hazard approach whenever possible. 2) Ensure that communities address natural hazards. Comprehensive plans should acknowledge all hazards that pose a risk and identify steps to avoid those hazards altogether or incrementally reduce a community’s exposure to its hazards.

Download or read book Strengthening the Disaster Resilience of the Academic Biomedical Research Community written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The academic biomedical research community is a hub of employment, economic productivity, and scientific progress. Academic research institutions are drivers of economic development in their local and state economies and, by extension, the national economy. Beyond the economic input that the academic biomedical research community both receives and provides, it generates knowledge that in turn affects society in myriad ways. The United States has experienced and continues to face the threat of disasters, and, like all entities, the academic biomedical research community can be affected. Recent disasters, from hurricanes to cyber-attacks, and their consequences have shown that the investments of the federal government and of the many other entities that sponsor academic research are not uniformly secure. First and foremost, events that damage biomedical laboratories and the institutions that house them can have impacts on the safety and well-being of humans and research animals. Furthermore, disasters can affect career trajectories, scientific progress, and financial stability at the individual and institutional levels. Strengthening the Disaster Resilience of the Academic Biomedical Research Community offers recommendations and guidance to enhance the disaster resilience of the academic biomedical research community, with a special focus on the potential actions researchers, academic research institutions, and research sponsors can take to mitigate the impact of future disasters.
