Título : Natural Disasters and Climate Change : An Economic Perspective Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Stéphane Hallegatte ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: Cham : Springer International Publishing Fecha de publicación: 2014 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Número de páginas: XXII, 194 p. 43 illus., 32 illus. in color Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-319-08933-1 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Operations research Decision making Earth sciences Natural disasters Climate change Environmental economics Economics Hazards Sciences, general Change Operation Research/Decision Theory Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: This book explores economic concepts related to disaster losses, describes mechanisms that determine the economic consequences of a disaster, and reviews methodologies for making decisions regarding risk management and adaptation. The author addresses the need for better understanding of the consequences of disasters and reviews and analyzes three scientific debates on linkage between disaster risk management and adaptation to climate change. The first involves the existence and magnitude of long-term economic impact of natural disasters on development. The second is the disagreement over whether any development is the proper solution to high vulnerability to disaster risk. The third debate involves the difficulty of drawing connections between natural disasters and climate change and the challenge in managing them through an integrated strategy. The introduction describes economic views of disaster, including direct and indirect costs, output and welfare losses, and use of econometric tools to measure losses. The next section defines disaster risk, delineates between “good” and “bad” risk-taking, and discusses a pathway to balanced growth. A section entitled “Trends in Hazards and the Role of Climate Change” sets scenarios for climate change analysis, discusses statistical and physical models for downscaling global climate scenarios to extreme event scenarios, and considers how to consider extremes of hot and cold, storms, wind, drought and flood. Another sect ion analyzes case studies on hurricanes and the US coastline; sea-level rises and storm surge in Copenhagen; and heavy precipitation in Mumbai. A section on Methodologies for disaster risk management includes a study on cost-benefit analysis of coastal protections in New Orleans, and one on early-warning systems in developing countries. The next section outlines decision-making in disaster risk management, including robust decision-making, No-regret and No-risk strategies; and strategies that reduce time horizons for decision-making. Among the conclusions is the assertion that risk management policies must recognize the benefits of risk-taking and avoid suppressing it entirely. The main message is that a combination of disaster-risk-reduction, resilience-building and adaptation policies can yield large potential gains and synergies Nota de contenido: 1 Introduction and summary -- 2 What is a disaster? An economic point of view -- 3 Disaster risks: evidence and theory -- 4 Trends in Hazards and the Role of Climate Change -- 5 Climate change impact on natural disaster losses -- 6 Methodologies for disaster risk management in a changing environment -- 7 Decision making for disaster risk management in a changing climate -- 8 References En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-08933-1 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=36097 Natural Disasters and Climate Change : An Economic Perspective [documento electrónico] / Stéphane Hallegatte ; SpringerLink (Online service) . - Cham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Springer, 2014 . - XXII, 194 p. 43 illus., 32 illus. in color : online resource.

Organización de empresas Resumen: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management in Mediterranean Countries, ISCRAM-med 2016, held in Madrid, Spain, in October 2016. Information systems and technologies can play a key role in crisis management in order to support preparation, response, mitigation and recovery processes. Yet technology is not enough to guarantee a better management process, and therefore the conference does not only focus on engineering technologies, but also on their application and practical experiences. The 12 full and 8 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 36 submissions. They are organized in topical sections on mobile apps for citizens, modeling and simulation, development of information systems, information and knowledge management, collaboration and coordination, social computing, and issues in humanitarian crisis Nota de contenido: Mobile Apps for Citizens -- Emergency Management and Smart Cities: civic engagement through gamification -- Improving first aid skills: how local conceptions of risk influence user engagement with the First Aid App in Israel and Malta -- Scenario-based evaluation of 112 application "Pomoc" -- Modelling and Simulation -- SPRITE - participatory simulation for raising awareness about coastal flood risk on the Oleron island -- BDI modelling and simulation of human behaviours in bushfires -- Obtaining optimal Bio-PEPA model using association rules : Approach applied to tuberculosis case study -- Optimization of Orchestration of Geocrowdsourcing Activities -- Development of Information Systems -- Visual Synthesis of Evolutionary Emergency Scenarios -- Modeling emergency care process taking into account its flexibility -- Information and Knowledge management -- Coordination Mining in Crisis : a tool and a case study -- A Rule-based Computer-Aided System for Managing Home Accidents in Childhood -- Collaboration and Coordination -- Building City Resilience Through Collaborative Networks: A Literature Review -- Towards integral security concepts for government buildings through virtual facility reconstruction -- Work Practice in Situation Rooms - An Ethnographic Study of Emergency Response Work in Governmental Organizations -- Towards Crisis Simulation Mediation Information System Engineering -- Social Computing -- Analyzing and Visualizing Emergency Information in a Multi Display Environment -- Which centrality metric for which terrorist network topology? -- Issues in Humanitarian Crisis -- Towards an agent-based humanitarian relief inventory management system -- Knowledge Management for the support of logistics during Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) -- Sentiment Analysis of Media in German on the Refugee Crisis in Europe.
