Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessment of Vulnerability to Natural Hazards covers the vulnerability of human and environmental systems to climate change and eight natural hazards: earthquakes, floods, landslides, avalanches, forest fires, drought, coastal erosion, and heat waves. This book is an important contribution to the field, clarifying terms and investigating the nature of vulnerability to hazards in general and in various specific European contexts. In addition, this book helps improve understanding of vulnerability and gives thorough methodologies for investigating situations in which people and their environments are vulnerable to hazards. With case studies taken from across Europe, the underlying theoretical frame is transferrable to other geographical contexts, making the content relevant worldwide. - Provides a framework of theory and methodology designed to help researchers and practitioners understand the phenomenon of vulnerability to natural hazards and disasters and to climate change - Contains case studies that illustrate how to apply the methodology in different ways to diverse hazards in varied settings (rural, urban, coastal, mountain, and more) - Describes how to validate the results of methodology application in different situations and how to respond to the needs of diverse groups of stakeholders represented by the public and private sectors, civil society, researchers, and academics

Download or read book A Public Sector Journey to Operational Excellence written by Kate McGovern and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-09-28 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lean management can lead to operational excellence, but toward what end? This book examines the power of linking Lean government operations with purposeful public policy. When Lean process improvement principles and techniques entered the public sector after decades of proven effectiveness in private industry, they brought the same transformative potential. These programs can improve public services, boost employee morale, and free up previously underutilized capacity. The freed capacity can then be applied to accomplish important societal objectives. This book has four parts: Part 1: The Foundation of Continuous Improvement (CI)—The reader is introduced to the field of CI and to Lean principles and techniques as applied to public sector organizations. CI initiatives can improve services, boost employee morale, and free up previously underutilized capacity. This part includes an overview of best practices and strategies for overcoming common challenges. Part 2: Lean Public Policy—Discussion of both purpose and function. Lean practitioners are systems thinkers. Viewing disparate processes as components of a whole, we seek to integrate functions across silos to maximize value, quality, and efficiency. It would be great if public programs could be designed for optimal functionality. If that were the case, then Lean practitioners would simply apply the Plan-Do-Study-Act/Adjust (PDSA) cycle for ongoing improvement. In the real world, policy making tends to be ad-hoc and reactive. This part explores impediments to Leaning existing programs and considers what Lean public policy would look like. Government regulatory functions and health care policy are used as examples. Part 3: Operational Excellence—Pulling policy and administration together by introducing John M. Bernard’s concept of three levels of maturity in government. Part 4: Putting it together—"What to do, how to do it, and who can get it done." A summary and overview of CI methodology and the prerequisites for the implementation of policies that will lead to progress on societal goals. Drawing lessons from practitioners striving for Level 3 maturity in government, the book closes with a series of recommendations.

Download or read book Army Support During the Hurricane Katrina Disaster written by James A. Wombwell and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Hurricane Katrina, in Aug. 2005, was the costliest hurricane as well as one of the five deadliest storms in U.S. history. It caused extensive destruction along the Gulf coast from central Florida to Texas. Some 22,000 Active-Duty Army personnel assisted with relief-and-recovery operations in Mississippi and Louisiana. At the same time, all 50 states sent approx. 50,000 National Guard personnel to deal with the storm¿s aftermath. Because the media coverage of this disaster tended toward the sensational more than the analytical, many important stories remain to be told in a dispassionate manner. This study offers a dispassionate analysis of the Army¿s response to the natural disaster by providing a detailed account of the operations in Louisiana and Mississippi.
