India‚ Pakistan‚ and Bangladesh are prone to natural disasters of various kinds on a continual basis. Coupled with high population density‚ poverty‚ illiteracy and lack of infrastructure‚ the natural disasters kill thousands of people and leave a devastating impact on economy and environment. The importance of telecommunication in disaster management has been widely accepted since the early days of the development of radio communication. Disasters can strike without warning at any time of the day or

Topic: Critical appraisal of Disaster management Act‚ 2005 Submitted by: Rible Thomas Kizhakkidam MswII ROLL no 573 The Indian subcontinent is among world’s most disaster prone area. It is exposed to natural catastrophes because of its vast territory‚ large population and unique geo-climatic conditions. In India‚ while 40 million hectares of landmass is prone to floods‚ 68 per cent of the total areas is vulnerable to periodical droughts. The Disaster Management Act passed in 2005 provides for

to discoveries of new life‚ space exploration has led to much advancement‚ including ones that we use in our daily lives. An example would be those comfortable beds that are made of memory foam. Unlocking the mysteries of what’s beyond or planet is the solution to many problems we have here on earth. The possibility of finding new resources and life in space‚ overpopulation on planet earth and finding a new source of fuel are just a few of many reasons to encourage space exploration. Planet earth

Ethics and Space Exploration Christen Boyd PHI107: Philosophy of Human Conduct Prof. Carol Parker October 14‚ 2010 Ethics and Space Exploration In recent years‚ there has been a rise in debate over government spending on space exploration. It is hard to say that the deck is stacked in either way. There is much validity in the arguments from both sides of the gun. In this debate‚ I believe‚ the sides are both coming from the perspective of utilitarian ethics. Basically‚ it is a disagreement

NASA Crane The first project that I chose was the NASA Crane engineering challenge. The purpose of this project was to attempt to create a crane from materials provided‚ but lift the most weight. We also took ratings on how efficient the design was‚ the look of the design‚ and the strength of the design. We first looked at the need of the project. NASA is wanting to‚ in the future‚ bring cranes to the moon to extract different materials. The problem would be getting it there. They need a crane that

The Race Into Space Austin Stipanovic Period 2 Introduction In recent history‚ numerous countries have competed against each other for weapons‚ research‚ and advancement in military power. Among those races is the race to the moon. Taking a back seat behind the nuclear weapon race‚ the Cold War‚ and various wars‚ the lunar landing shined like a diamond in the rough of history. From Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin to Explorer I and Apollo 11‚ these pinpoints in history are the origin of the

The 1960 ’s brought new advancements for all of Earth. Machines and men were sent into space‚ and this sparked a new government agency‚ called NASA. Space was a new frontier‚ and virtually everyone was interested in exploring it. Over the years‚ the interest in space exploration has weakened‚ and NASA was almost terminated from existence‚ although there have been many advancements in it over that time. Space exploration should continue because it could help solve many problems on Earth‚ such as

in outer space‚ there is also weather occurring? It is true. Although the space weather does not occur in the ways in which most people‚ those that are not scientists or astronauts‚ would think of. Space weather is the “turbulent and dynamic” outputs from the Sun. These outputs can be in the form of light or particles that are electrically charged. Our magnetosphere protects from much of these outputs‚ but it can still affect our satellites or other objects we have orbiting in space. Damage

words of ambassador Spock‚ "Space‚ the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Their ongoing mission to explore strange new worlds‚ to seek out new life forms and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before"(Spock). Could space travel ever reach a level shown in the popular T.V. series Star Trek? Unfortunately no one knows yet‚ but the idea of space travel would be more tangible if we built a space elevator. A space elevator‚ or space tether‚ is quite literally

risks associated with such disasters and the subsequent environmental remediation efforts all serve as important lessons and warnings for impending developments in nuclear power. Conversely‚ should nuclear threats to public health prove unavoidable‚ swift action should be taken to limit long-term environmental degradations through comprehensive waste disposal and remediation. Even with existing technologies in nuclear waste disposal‚ clean-up following a nuclear disaster still occurs at a painstaking
