Global educational surges by communities linked strategically and tactically throughout the world. Presentation courtesy of Dr. Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction

1. DISASTER RESILIENCE REQUIRES
A “24/7” SURGE
• PREPAREDNESS (BE
READY FOR
ANYTHING)
• PROTECTION (ABLE
TO WITHSTAND)
• WARNED EARLY (OUT
OF HARM’S WAY)

2. STRATEGIES FOR BECOMING
DISASTER RESILIENT

3. PART 6: PUTTING A NEW FACE
ON POWERFUL EDUCATIONAL
SURGES TO BUILD GLOBAL
CAPACITY FOR DISASTER
RESILIENCE

4. RISK ASSESSMENT
ACCEPTABLE RISK
•NATURAL HAZARDS
•INVENTORY RISK
•VULNERABILITY UNACCEPTABLE RISK
•LOCATION
GOAL: DISASTER
RESILIENCE
DATA BASES YOUR
AND INFORMATION COMMUNITY
FIVE PILLARS OF
RESILIENCE
HAZARDS:
•PREPAREDNESS
GROUND SHAKING •PROTECTION
GROUND FAILURE
SURFACE FAULTING •EARLY WARNING
TECTONIC DEFORMATION •EMERGENCY RESPONSE
TSUNAMI RUN UP
AFTERSHOCKS •RECOVERY IENCE

5. THE STATE OF THE WORLD
REALITY: 200 Nations and 7+ Billion People
are Investing Over 60 Trillion Dollars Each
Year in Urban Development and Billions in
Education.
REALITY: Each Year, approximately 900
Events Cause Exponentially Increasing
Economic losses in the $ Billions With Large
Tolls in Mortality, Morbidity, & the Homeless.

6. THE WAY FORWARD
GLOBAL EDUCATIONAL SURGES
BY
COMMUNITIES LINKED STRATEGICALLY
AND TACTICALLY THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD

7. ALL COMMUNITIES CAN BE LINKED STRATEGICALLY AND TACTICALLY
SUB-SAHARA
CARIBBEAN AFRICA

NORTH 200 NATIONS AND 7+ MEDITER-
AMERICA RANEAN
BILLION PEOPLE
SOUTH ISLAND
AMERICA NATIONS
ASIA

8. SURGES WITH POWER
A WELL- DESIGNED GLOBAL EDUCATONAL
SURGE WILL HAVE INFINITE ENERGY LIKE
A TSUNAMI OR THE STORM SURGE OF A
CYCLONE, TYPHOON, OR A HURRICANE

9. SURGES WITH GLOBAL
POWER
GLOBAL SURGES THAT PENETRATE ALL
SECTORS OF A COMMUNITY WILL BUILD
CAPACITY FOR ULTIMATELY REDUCE THE
COMMUNITY’S DISASTERS TO ZERO
DURING THE DECADE OF THE 2010’s

10. THE GOAL OF EVERY
COMMUNITY
• NO DISASTERS IN A
WORLD WHERE…
• NATURAL HAZARDS
(E.G., FLOODS,
SEVERE
WINDSTORMS,
EARTHQUAKES,
DROUGHTS) ARE
INEVITABLE AND
DISASTERS OCCUR
EVERY YEAR.

11. THE GOAL OF EVERY
COMMUNITY
• STRATEGIC/TACTICAL
CONNECTIVITY
BETWEEN THE GOALS
OF SURVIVAL AND
RESILIENCE, AND
• GOALS RELATED TO
ECONOMIC
ENTERPRISE,
ENERGY, EDUCATION,
ENVIRONMENT, AND
ECOLOGY

12. F A C E IS THE KEY
• FRAMEWORK OF • CHANGES IN
SCIENCE, THINKING!
POLICY, AND • EDUCATION THAT
TECHNOLOGY! BUILDS
• ALIGNMENT OF CAPACITY FOR
COMMUNITY AND INNOVATIVE
REGIONAL POWERFUL
RESOURCES! SURGES!

13. COLLECT GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE

31. CRITERIA FOR MEASURING
CHANGE IN THE PURSUIT OF
DISASTER RESILIENCE
INNOVATIVE DESIGN IS THE FIRST
STEP TOWARDS SUCCESS

32. IT IS ALWAYS APPROPRIATE TO
USE ALL THE
“ BOOKS OF KNOWLEDGE”
WHEN DESIGNING DISASTER
RESILIENCE

34. THERE IS ALWAYS NEW MATERIAL FROM THE
LAST GLOBAL DISASTER FOR A NEW SURGE
FLOODS
COMMUNITY
VULNERABILITIES SEVERE WINDSTORMS
EARTHQUAKES/TSUNAMIS
LACK OF TECHNICAL AND
POLITICAL CAPACITY TO
COPE DROUGHTS
FAILURE TO USE GLOBAL LANDSLIDES
KNOWLEDGE AND
EXPERIENCE WILDFIRES
VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS
TECHNOLOGICAL HAZARDS
GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
TERRORISM

35. DESIGN GOALS FOR THE PURSUIT OF DISASTER
RESILIENCE
AN INFRASTRUCTURE FOR DELIVERING KNOWLEDGE AND
INFORMATION CONTINUOISLY OVER TIME
THE KNOWLEDGE BASE CAPACITY BUILDING CONTINUING EDUCATION
Seismic Characterization Updated Knowledge Bases
Multi-Sector Partnerships After Each Disaster
Vulnerability Classifications Skill for Building and Using Updated Disaster Scenarios
the Knowledge base
Alternative Practices
Updated “Up –Close” and
Implementation Skills “Distance” Learning
Collect, Store and Process
Data
Able to Access data from
Cause & Effect Relationships Remote Sites Multi-Sector Cooperation
Event-Action Capability Skill for Designing Menu Toolboxes for Disaster

36. TURNING POINTS FOR CHANGE
S
EDUCATION PENETRATES
SOCIETY
FROM IGNORANCE TO
ENLIGHTENMENT
PRINCIPLES FOR
BUILDING A DISASTER FROM APATHY TO
RESILIENT EMPOWERMENT
COMMUNITY
FROM BOUNDARIES
TO SEAMLESS
ENABLEMENT OF
POLITICAL WILL

37. TACTICAL SUCCESS
• Planning for “right now”
after each notable global
disaster happens.

38. LEVERAGING SUCCESS
• Leverage the "World's
Mutual Fund for
Education," (i.e., the in-
country resources already
invested in education in the
budget of every nation)

39. SUCCESS WITH THE
DIFFICULT LOCATIONS
• Intensified efforts in the “difficult
locations” (i.e., Haiti, Sub-Saharan
Africa; some Latin American, Asian,
and Eastern European countries) to
be successful faster.

40. SUCCESS IN ACCELERATING
THE PROCESS
• Accelerated transfer of
ownership of knowledge and
technology to government
leaders, community profess-
ionals, and business enterprises.

41. SUCCESS IN ENERGIZING A
POWERFUL GLOBAL ED. SURGE
• Enlist, equip, and link
legions of professionals in
every country for an
endless continuum of
“global Ed. Surges.”

42. THE ULTIMATE MEASURE:
“ DID WE IMPROVE ON
THE PAST?”
