<p>Hi All, I am new in edu4drr ...so sorry if my post sounds strange. Anyway, I am conducting a review of international practices in DRM/focus on higher education (e.g. Masters et al.). I would really welcome inputs or all sorts of suggestions on what is already out there on the topic. I navigated the preventionweb section on acandemic programs but I am lacking in-depth understanding and comparison about e.g. structural, pedagogical etc. features of the programs.

Amongst the many outcomes for this project, one we are keen to explore is the enhancement of emergency shelter and accommodation infrastructure in the county by giving the ownership of the design and development back to the school and its students.</p>
<p>Before we start this project, I would just like to ask the forum if anyone has had any experience of anything similar?</p> women & children in disasterstag:www.edu4drr.org,2013-03-04:2114760:Topic:311642013-03-04T13:28:02.518ZZeynep M. Turkmenhttp://www.edu4drr.org/profile/ZeynepMTurkmen
<p>Hi all!</p>
<p>I'll write a final project in the coming months about - women & disaster- but because women are often responsible in taking care of their children, children & disaster subject also is interesting me. Can you recommend or send- any document- website or a contact person relating how children together with their mother got affected from a disaster? I'd be appreciated a lot:)</p>
<p>Best,</p>

<p></p> What did Edu4DRR members do when Hurricane Sandy swept through?tag:www.edu4drr.org,2012-11-01:2114760:Topic:298002012-11-01T08:01:49.916ZZeynep M. Turkmenhttp://www.edu4drr.org/profile/ZeynepMTurkmen
Last week and over the weekend as Hurricane Sandy swept through the Caribbean, badly affecting populations in Haiti (200 000 homeless with only 17 000 shelter places and over 70 dead), while farming and food projects were set back and in some cases wiped out; while in Cuba a large part of the coffee crop was destroyed and between 20%-30% of Jamaica's banana crop was ruined. To be fair, very little was made of this in the media and so I hadn't personally taken an interest as I was busy with work…
Last week and over the weekend as Hurricane Sandy swept through the Caribbean, badly affecting populations in Haiti (200 000 homeless with only 17 000 shelter places and over 70 dead), while farming and food projects were set back and in some cases wiped out; while in Cuba a large part of the coffee crop was destroyed and between 20%-30% of Jamaica's banana crop was ruined. To be fair, very little was made of this in the media and so I hadn't personally taken an interest as I was busy with work as I know so many of you are.<br />
<br />
However this changed as the now sub-tropical storm Sandy moved towards the USA. There was blanket news coverage on TV, cable and on the Internet. Apparently 3 million tweets were sent with the hashtbag 'Sandy' (#Sandy). I used information that I knew coupled with what was happening on the ground through the Internet, and Tweetosphere to provide advice on before during and after. I have included some of the images I tweeted along with this discussion. I used, maps, links to pdf's, links to Twitter accounts most relevant to the affected areas, QR codes to preparedness and safety sharing Apps (you can use them instead of telephoning - landline or cell so that networks don't get jammed up) as well as short pieces of advice in the aftermath about driving etc.<br />
<br />
I hope that they made some impact, but I realised that maybe some if you we're doing something similar, or were in fact in the path of the Hurricane/Storm and ad to prepare. I would like to ask that you let us know how you contributed. What is wonderful about this medium is that it gives experts, professionals and colleagues a chance to make a difference. Many of or Indian collages would ave experienced strong cyclones, others Typhoons...the advice is similar and useful, so like I used to ask my grandfather, 'what did you do in the war?' I would like to know the answer to the following:<br />
<br />
What did you do while Hurricane Sandy was occurring?<br />
<br />
I would like to add a plea that members follow @edu4drr on Twitter and retweet to their accounts when they think it relevant. The more we use the medium, the more people hear the right advice and messages and can become more resilient to disaster! I look forward to your replies and seeing you on Twitter!

<p>During the recent tsunami alert around the Pacific as a result of the Chile earthquake, many people did not heed the warnings and actually headed to beaches to watch. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here in New Zealand, some of those who did this reportedly said that the expected height of the tsunami was only a few centimetres, which they could not see as being dangerous to them. They added that they would have run if they had seen anything more dangerous than that coming. </p>

<p>During the recent tsunami alert around the Pacific as a result of the Chile earthquake, many people did not heed the warnings and actually headed to beaches to watch. </p>

<p> </p>
<p>Well, to show how foolish that response was, here is a security camera video shot in American Samoa last year. The tsunami in this video is only a foot or so deep, but despite this low height the waters pick up and toss round vehicles like Matchbox toys, leaving them smashed up in a pile, By the time someone realised that such a low 'wave' was in fact a fast-moving and dangerous tsunami surge with the full inertia of the ocean behind it, I defy them to have managed to run away in time. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The video is quite long, and the tsunami only comes in right at the end, so you might wish to scroll through (though seeing it in full emphasises the sudden contrast from a peaceful commonplace scene to violent anarchy): </p>
