Natural Disaster and decision that follows Natural disaster risk can be defined as follows: The exposure or the chance of loss (of lives‚ persons injured‚ property damaged and economic activity disrupted) due to a particular hazard for a given area and reference period. In case of a disaster event‚ there are several effects‚ such as humanitarian effects‚ including the loss of lives and persons injured; ecological effects among other damage to ecosystems; and economic effects‚ comprising different

Reaction paper: Last July 23‚ 2011‚ an orientation on disaster preparedness and prohibited dangerous drugs was held at the CE building during our NSTP. The speaker wanted to make us prepared at all times in case of natural disasters or calamities either natural or man-made. He also enlightened our minds of the possible harms drugs can do to an individual. When we say disaster or calamity‚ it is a great or sudden misfortune or catastrophe‚ an adverse or unfortunate event‚ or an occurrence that

this machine is responsible for sparking an interest in how things work. My love for practical sciences‚ in addition to my innate fascination with technology used for practical and real purposes‚ has enabled me to discern my love for mechanical engineering. As a chubby 11 year old‚ I remember sitting glued to Discovery channel. An episode of the show ‘How it’s made’ featured the process used to create a gumball machine. Awestruck I learnt about the intricate parts that made this miraculous machine

Hard engineering refers to the construction of physical structures to defend against erosive power of waves To protect a coast from erosion‚ people have built seawalls in front of a cliff or along the coast. A seawall is usually made of concrete. It acts as a buffer and absorbs energy of breaking waves especially during storms where the waves are strong‚ thus protecting the coast. A seawall shields and protects the coast from the direct impact of the incoming waves‚ thus reducing erosion. However

The Union Carbide plant was established in Bhopal in 1969 and it began to produce the insecticide Carbaryl. methyl isocanyte is an ingredient of carbaryl‚ and on the morning of December 3‚ 1984‚ a holding tank containing 43 tons of methyl isocyanate overheated and released the toxic gas. Because methyl isocyanate is heavier than air‚ it traveled over the ground through the Bhopal city center. The transportation system collapsed‚ and many people were trampled to death in a mad rush to flee the visible

An earth quake can be described as a shaking of the Earth’s crust. It is mainly a movement of the whole crust that originates in the center of the earth. Earthquakes happen when the underlying rock suddenly shakes or breaks off. The moving of the underlying rock causes the surface rocks to slide and‚ as a result‚ leads to the earthquakes. Earthquakes can be extremely disastrous and cause a lot of damage in the place where they happen. The earthquake can happen once or happen as a series. This depends

Gülin Langbroek 11.1 THE MAN-MADE DISASTER: CHERNOBYL “It is one of histories ironies that the worst nuclear accident began as a test to improve safety.”‚ states Snell (1988). The Soviets wanted to find out how the Chernobyl power plant would cope with a sudden power loss‚ therefore the experiment tested how long a spinning turbine could provide electric power to certain systems in the plant. Like many accidents‚ the Chernobyl accident resulted from a combination of human error and weaknesses

Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of engineering‚ physics and materials science for analysis‚ design‚ manufacturing‚ and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design‚ production‚ and operation of machines and tools.[1] It is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines. The engineering field requires an understanding of core concepts
