3. DISASTER RESILIENCE IS A FAILED POLICY WITHOUT THE ADOPTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF FIVE INTEGRATED POLICIES (i.e., The Five Pillars of Disaster Resilience)

4. WHAT IS PREPAREDNESS, THE FIRST PILLAR?
(Preparedness is
a state of readiness on individual, urban, sub-regional, and national scales that is sufficient to keep the disaster agents of a natural hazard from causing a disaster

5. WHAT IS PROTECTION, THE SECOND PILLAR?
(Protection is
a mandated state of robustness, strength, and ductility for important buildings and essential - critical infrastructure to prevent loss of function when a natural hazard ocurs

6. WHAT IS EARLY WARNING, THE THIRD PILLAR?
(Early Warning is
a state of monitoring and messaging “in the moment” that activates evacuation plans to save lives and accelerates site-specific preparedness to protect property

7. KEY ELEMENTS OF MONITORING
Land-, air-, ocean-, and satellite- based instrument packages and systems that monitor signals in real time related to the creation, formation, movement, and changes of the potential disaster agents of hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, earthquakes and tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and wildfires.

8. KEY ELEMENTS OF MONITORING (continued)
The data on the creation, formation, and movement of potential disaster agents generated by hurricanes and typhoons, earthquakes and tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and wildfires are transmitted to analysis centers for analysis and messaging, as appropriate, on the perceived threats.

9. KEY ELEMENTS OF MESSAGING
A CREDIBLE SOURCE: e.g., National Hurricane Centers; Tsunami Warning Center. others
THE MESSAGE: e.g., The threat, where and when it will happen; actions that are appropriate to go out of harm’s way, or, if not evacuating, to accelerate increased preparedness

10. KEY ELEMENTS OF MESSAGING
COMMUNICATION CHANNELS: satellite –based, real-time, electronic messaging processes that connect the data analysis centers to institutions in every nation as well as global media outlets.
THE RECEIVERS: Some, but not all of the people who receive the message, will understand and respond.

11. EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE TYPICALLY EVACUATED
PEOPLE LIVING IN THE ”RED DANGER ZONES”
SCHOOL CHILDREN
THE ELDERLY AND HANDICAPPED
PATIENTS IN HOSPITALS,
TOURISTS
HOMELESS

12. EXAMPLES OF THINGS TYPICALLY EVACUATED
FISHING BOATS
NAVAL SHIPS
MILITARY AIRCRAFT

13. EXAMPLES OF SITE-SPECIFIC “ACCELERATED PREPAREDNESS”
HOUSES, SCHOOLS, AND HOSPITALS IN THE ”RED DANGER ZONE”
BUSINESSES AND HOTELS IN THE ”RED DANGER ZONES”

14. EMERGENY RESPONSE, THE FOURTH PILLAR, IS ALSO ESSENTIAL FOR DISASTER RESILIENCE

15. WHAT IS EMERGENCY RESPONSE, THE FOURTH PILLAR?
(Emergency Response is
All of the scripted and unscripted heroic and historic responses during a twenty-four hour and twenty-one day “race against time” to save lives and protect property

16. CAPABILITIES OF COMMUNITY
THE GOAL
DISASTER RESILIENCE:
DEMANDS ON COMMUNITY
CAPABILITIES OF COMMUNITY

17. REALITY LACK OF DISASTER RESILIENCE
INSUFFICIENT EMERGENCY RESPONSES AFTER A NATURAL HAZARD STRIKES
UNANTICIPATED DEMANDS ON COMMUNITY

18. KEY ELEMENTS OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE
HISTORIC RESPONSES: The professional and non-professional responders will be making history for at least twenty-four hours (a “place holder” for the intense period of search and rescue operations) and twenty-one days (a “place holder” for the intense time of the “no room for error” decisions) that must be made.

19. KEY ELEMENTS OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE
HEROIC RESPONSES: The professional and non-professional responders will be working at the margins of their capability for at least twenty-four hours and twenty-one days.

20. NATURAL HAZARDS THAT CAUSE EMERGENCY RESPONSE SITUATIONS
FLOODS
GOAL: SAVE LIVES; PROTECT PROPERTY
HURRICANES/TYPHOONS
HISTORIC AND HEROIC RESPONSES DURING INTENSE 24 AND 21 DAY PERIODS AFTER AN EVENT
EARTHQUAKES/TSUNAMIS
VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS
WILDFIRES
LANDSLIDES

21. EVEN IF IN A SMALL NATION, ANY COMMUNITY CAN INCREASE ITS CAPABILITY FOR WINNING THE TWENTY-FOUR HOUR AND TWENTY-ONE DAY RACES AGAINST TIME AND THE POTENTIAL DISASTERS AGENTS OF ANY NATURAL HAZARD

22. THE CAPABILITY FOR WINNING THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE “RACE AGAINST TIME” INCREASES AS A COMMUNITY’S CAPABILITY TO PREPARE FOR, PROTECT FROM, AND WARN AGAINST NATURAL HAZARDS INCREASES

23. SITUATIONS ENCOUNTERED DURING EM. RESPONSE
