Welcome to the 2016 InTeGrate Professional Development Webinar Series
Free and open to the public, this series aims to help faculty teach about the earth in the context of societal issues. The series incorporates InTeGrate principles into teaching practices, provides materials available for adoption, and creates a forum for participants to learn and share teaching strategies. Rory will introduce the series and say a few words about InTeGrate

Defining hazard and risk
A discussion-based approach These first 3 slides for intro
4
Hazard or Risk? In this cartoon, what are the hazards?
Please type into the chat box. (Richard J. King, 2012)

Hazard or Risk? In this cartoon, what are the hazards?
How could the two people minimize risk from these hazards? Please type into the chat box. (Richard J. King, 2012)
6
The Risk Equation Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability x Value
7
The Risk Equation Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability x Value
Earthquake, volcanic eruption, car accident, jumping out of an airplane
8
The Risk Equation Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability x Value
Earthquake, volcanic eruption, car accident, jumping out of an airplane The people and property affected
9
The Risk Equation Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability x Value
Earthquake, volcanic eruption, car accident, jumping out of an airplane Assume the hazard occurs. How vulnerable are people and property to damage, injury, death? The people and property affected
10
In the chat box, describe a scenario that would maximize risk.
The Risk Equation Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability x Value Earthquake, volcanic eruption, car accident, jumping out of an airplane Assume the hazard occurs. How vulnerable are people and property to damage, injury, death? The people and property affected In the chat box, describe a scenario that would maximize risk.
11
If we reduce any one of the terms, we reduce the risk
The Risk Equation Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability x Value Earthquake, volcanic eruption, car accident, jumping out of an airplane Assume the hazard occurs. How vulnerable are people and property to damage, injury, death? The people and property affected If we reduce any one of the terms, we reduce the risk
12
The Risk Equation Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability x Value
Earthquake, volcanic eruption, car accident, jumping out of an airplane Assume the hazard occurs. How vulnerable are people and property to damage, injury, death? The people and property affected Must understand the hazard – but for natural hazards, usually cannot prevent or reduce likelihood of occurrence.
13
The Risk Equation Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability x Value
Earthquake, volcanic eruption, car accident, jumping out of an airplane Assume the hazard occurs. How vulnerable are people and property to damage, injury, death? The people and property affected Must understand the hazard – but for natural hazards, usually cannot prevent or reduce likelihood of occurrence. People and property will always be in hazardous situations
14
The Risk Equation Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability x Value
Earthquake, volcanic eruption, car accident, jumping out of an airplane Assume the hazard occurs. How vulnerable are people and property to damage, injury, death? The people and property affected Must understand the hazard – but for natural hazards, usually cannot prevent or reduce likelihood of occurrence. This is what we can work on ! People and property will always be in hazardous situations.

Reasons for these trends?
Earthquakes affecting human populations by decade, (n=738)
22
What determines the amount of deaths/damages from earthquakes?
24
What’s the best use of (limited) funds for retrofitting?
LOE Unit 2 San Francisco school sites to evaluate for seismic risk – What’s the best use of (limited) funds for retrofitting?
25
LOE Unit 2 School Site Factors
Underlying geology Bedrock vs. natural sediment vs. artificial fill Liquefaction and strong shaking potential Geography (esp. landslide potential) School building* Age, masonry, plan irregularity, soft stories Population *scaled-down version of FEMA Rapid Visual Screening protocol for assessing seismic safety.

Capstone Project Coastal Vulnerability Audit Tool (CVAT)
Curacao, Netherlands Antilles, Photo Courtesy of Sean Cornell Instructions: This document contains 3 stages that are designed to follow the course content as it is developed so that you can complete the capstone audit of your selected city. Note that Stage 4 has three additional parts to help you prepare your final product. You will need to use this tool weekly to guide your data collection and organize your ideas and research information as you prepare your Google Earth audio-annotated tour. Stage 2: Physical System Assessment Stage 3: Human System & Engineering Infrastructure Assessment Stage 4a: Vulnerability, Planning & Action Stage 4b: Site Specific Concerns or Considerations Stage 4c: Recommended Resiliency Action Plans Stage 4d: References and Key Resources Recommendations: You may want to print this document out so that you have it in your class notes where it can be referred to and added to often. Each week you should make notes on the pages where appropriate. On occasion go back to the original electronic PPTx document to type up your notes. You are encouraged to add additional slides to the file to keep track of Excel Plots, Maps, etc. Using this tool as intended will put you on the right track to doing well with the capstone project. If you have questions, make sure you post your questions to the course discussion board (Yammer, etc.) or follow the recommendations of your instructor. DO NOT give one-word responses as you fill in the CVAT. You need to think deeply about each response and write responses that reflect that depth of thought as informed by your research.

Living on the Edge: Building resilient societies on active plate margins Coastal Processes, Hazards, and Society Rory: Hopefully you have more questions than you did at the beginning! Here are some great places to go for more information on specific concepts and approaches Still need to compile these and add here and to the website. Will just highlight a few key ones on this slide then refer them to the webinar site

After reflecting on this prompt for a moment, please use the ‘chat’ feature to write a few sentences. How do you prepare yourself for the risks from natural hazards that you may experience in your lifetime? How do you prepare your students for the risks from natural hazards that they may experience in their lifetime? You are also welcome to ask other questions for discussion at this time.
