INCORPORATING A NEW BODY OF DISASTER KNOWLEDGE IN EM HI-ED COURSES A MAJOR CHALLENGE DR. WALTER HAYS

THE QUESTION WHAT CAN YOU AND YOUR INSTITUTION AND COMMUNITY DO TO IMPROVE EM HI-ED?

YOUR COMMUNITY DATA BASES AND INFORMATION HAZARDS: GROUND SHAKING GROUND FAILURE SURFACE FAULTING TECTONIC DEFORMATION TSUNAMI RUN UP AFTERSHOCKS HAZARD MAPS INVENTORY VULNERABILITY CAPACITY EM MANAGEMENT RISK ACCEPTABLE RISK UNACCEPTABLE RISK HIGHER EDUCATION PREPAREDNESS MITIGATION MONITORING EM RESPONSE RECOVERY & RECONST.

STRATEGIES FOR CHANGING HUMAN BEHAVIOR AND IMPROVING EM HIGHER EDUCATION A SCENARIO FOR YOUR COMMUNITY

IMPROVE EM HI-ED EM HI-ED IS AN INCREMENTAL PROCESS CONFORMITY OF THINKING & ACTION VISUALIZE SOLUTIONS REVISIT & CLARIFY GOALS INTEGRATION STRATEGIES ELEMINATE UNIVERSAL BARRIERS ADD 2008S KNOWLEDGE

FOUR STRATEGIES THAT WORK MAKE THE GOAL CLEAR MAKE THE GOAL EASY TO VISUALIZE MAKE THE GOAL POPULAR MAKE THE GOAL A MANDATE FOR ADOPTING AND IMPLEMENTING A HIGHER-POWER STRATEGY

STEP 1 : PROVIDE CLEAR INFORMATION ABOUT THE GOAL AND THE BARRIERS THAT PREVENT PEOPLE, INSTITUTIONS, AND COMMUNITIES FROM REACHING IT.

THE GOAL BUILDING EQUITY AND PENETRATING SOCIETY,… ADDING NEW DISASTER KNOWLEDGE TO THE BODY OF EXISTING KNOWLEDGE!

FOUR UNIVERSAL BARRIERS BETWEEN YOU AND THE GOAL IGNORANCE APATHY DISCIPLINARY BOUNDARIES LACK OF POLITICAL WILL

STEP 2: VISUALIZE SOLUTIONS THAT WILL OVERCOME HUMAN, INSTITUTIONAL, AND COMMUNITY INERTIA.

VISUALIZE SUCCESSFUL EM HI-ED EDUCATION: PENETRATE SOCIETY IGNORANCE TO ENLIGHTENMENT APATHY TO EMPOWERMENT BOUNDARIES TO NETWORKS POLITICAL ENABLEMENT BUILDING EQUITY AND PENETRATING SOCIETY BUILDING EQUITY AND PENETRATING SOCIETY

STEP 3 : PROMOTE CONFORMITY OF THINKING AND ACTING BECAUSE PEOPLE, INSTITUTIONS, AND COMMUNITIES WILL DO WHAT THEY THINK OTHERS ARE DOING.

SIX THINKING HATS FOR CREATING AN INTEGRATING STRATEGY

SOCIAL (ARE THE PEOPLE AWARE OF WHAT THEY NEED?) COMMUNITY TECHNICAL (IS THE STATE OF KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE BEING APPLIED?) ADMINISTRATIVE (WHO IS RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE?) POLITICAL (ARE PUBLIC POLICIES RELEVANT IN TERMS OF THE THREAT?) LEGAL (ARE EXISTIN LEGAL MANDATES ENFORCED?) ECONOMIC (WILLINGNESS AND CAPACITY TO PAY FOR SAFETY?) GOAL: COMMUNITY DISASTER RESILIENCE SOCIAL SYSTEMS STAPLE FACTORS

SIX ACTION SHOES FOR CREATING AN INTEGRATING STRATEGY

SIX ACTION SHOES F0R CREATING AN INTEGRATING STRATEGY BROWN BROGUE: FINDING THE RIGHT PARTNERS/PEOPLE FOR EACH HI-ED COURSE! WHITE SNEAKERS: GATHERING THE FACTS! NAVY BLUE SHOES: CREATING STRATEGIC AND TACTICAL PLANS THAT PROVIDE EQUITY FOR EVERYONE! ORANGE RUBBER GUM SHOES: DOING WHAT IS NEEDED WHEN IT IS NEEDED! TAN HOUSE SHOES: CREATING TURNING POINTS FROM A SENSE OF URGENCY! PURPLE RIDING BOOTS: LEADING TO ATTAIN THE GREATER GOOD IN GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE !

STEP 4: MANDATE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A STRATEGY THAT HAS A HIGHER POWER THAN THE ONE YOU ARE USING NOW (I.E., AN INTEGRATING STRATEGY).
