Book excerpt: RESUMEN La ocurrencia de un desastre puede entenderse como la materialización de un riesgo producido al relacionar el peligro o amenaza, la vulnerabilidad y el elemento expuesto. Si se tiene clara la relación anterior, ahora ya se puede entender la responsabilidad que tenemos las personas en la producción de los desastres originados por amenazas naturales, sabiendo que los fenómenos naturales no causarían ningún daño si fuéramos capaces de entender cómo funciona la naturaleza y crear nuestro hábitat acorde con este conocimiento. Para incrementar la capacidad de la sociedad, protegerla y crear medios seguros en la comunidad, es importante contar con un sistema de control y actuación que represente la organización institucional de la gestión del riesgo y las medidas de intervención correctivas y prospectivas para la reducción de riesgos existentes y posibles en el futuro. Esta tesis propone una metodología que pueda incluirse en este sistema de control, como parte de un sistema de gestión del riesgo de desastre. Esta metodología se propone debido a que en el campo de la valoración de riesgos existe la limitante de contar con herramientas sistémicas que faciliten la gestión del riesgo una vez identificados y cualificados. En esta tesis, y para dar solución a esta limitante se han aplicado herramientas de gestión de proyectos ya existentes a herramientas de evaluación de la efectividad de la gestión del riesgo también existentes, con el objetivo de diseñar una nueva herramienta útil en la toma de decisiones como parte de un sistema de gestión del riesgo de desastre. Este es un primer trabajo en esta línea, en esta tesis se diseñó un manual de procedimientos útil para la posterior valoración sistemática de la bondad de la herramienta y proponer las modificaciones necesarias. El manual fue elaborado con el fin de mantener un registro actualizado de los procedimientos necesarios para el desarrollo del Portafolio para la Gestión del Riesgo de desastres con sus respectivos p.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Download or read book University and School Collaborations During a Pandemic written by Fernando M. Reimers and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide, and on a survey administered to leaders in 101 universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, universities found ways to engage with schools to support them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so, they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced the integration of the research and outreach functions of the university. The evidence suggests that universities are indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment, able to discover changes that can influence them and to change in response to those changes. They are also able, in the success of their efforts to mitigate the educational impact of the pandemic, to create better futures, as the result of the innovations they can generate. This challenges the view of universities as "ivory towers" being isolated from the surrounding environment and detached from local problems. As they reached out to schools, universities not only generated clear and valuable innovations to sustain educational opportunity and to improve it, this process also contributed to transform internal university processes in ways that enhanced their own ability to deliver on the third mission of outreach
Download or read book Confronting Climate Uncertainty in Water Resources Planning and Project Design written by Patrick A. Ray and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confronting Climate Uncertainty in Water Resources Planning and Project Design describes an approach to facing two fundamental and unavoidable issues brought about by climate change uncertainty in water resources planning and project design. The first is a risk assessment problem. The second relates to risk management. This book provides background on the risks relevant in water systems planning, the different approaches to scenario definition in water system planning, and an introduction to the decision-scaling methodology upon which the decision tree is based. The decision tree is described as a scientifically defensible, repeatable, direct and clear method for demonstrating the robustness of a project to climate change. While applicable to all water resources projects, it allocates effort to projects in a way that is consistent with their potential sensitivity to climate risk. The process was designed to be hierarchical, with different stages or phases of analysis triggered based on the findings of the previous phase. An application example is provided followed by a descriptions of some of the tools available for decision making under uncertainty and methods available for climate risk management. The tool was designed for the World Bank but can be applicable in other scenarios where similar challenges arise.

Download or read book Making Space for the River written by Jeroen Frank Warner and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines recent developments in river (flood) management from the viewpoint of Making Space for the River and the resulting challenges for water governance. Different examples from Europe and the United States of America are discussed that aim to ‘green’ rivers, including increasing river discharge for flood management, enhancing natural and landscape values, promoting local or regional economic development, and urban regeneration. Making Space for the River presents not only opportunities and synergies but also risks as it crosses established institutional boundaries and touches on multiple stakeholder interests, which can easily clash. Making Space for the River helps the reader to understand the policy and governance dynamics that lead to these tensions and pays attention to a variety of attempts to organize effective and legitimate governance approaches. The book helps to realize connections between policy domains, problem frames, and goals of different actors at different levels that contribute to decisive and legitimate action. Making Space for the River has an international comparative character that sheds light upon both the country-specific governance dilemmas which relate to specific state traditions and institutional characteristics of national water management, but also uncovers interesting similarities which provide us with building blocks to formulate more generic lessons about the governance of Making Space for the River in different institutional and social contexts. The authors of this book come from a variety of disciplines including public administration, town and country planning, geography and anthropology, and these different disciplines bring multiple ways of knowing and understanding of Making Space for the River programs. The book combines interdisciplinary scientific analyses of Space for the River projects and programs with practical knowing and lessons-drawing. Making Space for the River is written for both practitioners and scholars and students of environmental policy, spatial planning, land use and water management. Editors: Jeroen Warner, Assistant Professor of Disaster Studies, Wageningen University, The Netherlands. Arwin van Buuren, Associate Professor of Public Administration, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Jurian Edelenbos, Professor of Public Administration, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
