This document discusses different models for estimating shelter requirements after earthquakes: SYNER-G, HAZUS-MH, ERGO-EQ, MCEER, InaSAFE, and RiskScape. It provides an overview of the conceptual frameworks and parameters considered in each model's calculations of displaced populations and shelter needs. These parameters include building damage, age, income, ethnicity, and others. The document also compares the outputs produced by each model, such as estimates of population displacement by geographic area or dwelling units. Future developments proposed include tailoring models to specific contexts and incorporating additional social and cultural factors.

This document summarizes a presentation given at the 6th International Disaster and Risk Conference in Davos, Switzerland. The presentation examined the capacity of communities in Chile to cope with natural disasters, using a case study of the town of El Morro. An ethnographic study was conducted in El Morro for 6 months, using interviews, observation, and document analysis. The study found that social and cultural capacities like local knowledge, sense of community, cooperation and leadership were essential for community resilience in responding to disasters. Communities have the potential to transform from victims to survivors through activating their own resources.

This document summarizes a presentation on integrative risk assessment and management for residential recycled water schemes in Australia. It introduces residential recycled water schemes and their objectives to reduce potable water demand, effluent discharge, and stormwater runoff. It then shows that few schemes in Australia have been successful long-term. Through historical analysis and industry surveys, it identifies key risks to schemes' long-term viability like public health concerns, economic challenges, and regulatory issues. The presentation argues current risk assessment and management practices have limitations like poorly defined objectives and an independent approach that does not consider time and context adequately. Improved integrative risk management is needed for resilient recycled water schemes.

The document presents a seismic risk assessment model for a hospital's emergency department (ED). The model includes physical, functional, and patient-oriented submodels linked together. The physical submodel uses structural analysis to determine floor accelerations and drift from ground motions. The functional submodel assesses loss of functionality to examination and operating rooms. The patient-oriented submodel models patient flow through the ED and calculates performance indices based on waiting times. The full model is used to predict ED performance in an earthquake scenario and provide a seismic risk analysis framework.

This document summarizes a study on barriers to considering uncertainties and controversies in urban flood risk governance in Quy Nhon, Vietnam in the context of climate change. The study examined three flood management projects and found poor consideration of uncertainties and limited stakeholder participation. Barriers identified by decision-makers like lack of information and funding masked deeper issues like the influence of private interests and lack of accountability. The study suggests barriers are rooted in issues of governance and political arrangements, and managing flood risk requires addressing uncertainties politically rather than just technically. Overcoming barriers requires a systemic approach that considers their complex and interconnected nature.

The document discusses concepts related to ensuring a safe, secure, and sustainable energy supply. It introduces the concepts of risk assessment, resilience management, security of supply, sustainability, and multi-criteria decision analysis. It then presents a case study from the EU SECURE project that used these concepts to evaluate policy scenarios according to various environmental, economic, social, and security indicators. The study found that global climate policy scenarios generally performed best, though they were vulnerable to certain shocks like nuclear accidents or carbon capture failures. Overall policies that reduced fossil fuel use and led to greater diversification of energy sources and imports improved sustainability and security.

still poses, how they have responded and intend to respond
to any disaster mitigation measures in future.
Key Question:
• How do the survivors perceive ongoing risks, are
responding to, and intend to respond to DRR and/or DM
measures in future?

Implications for Rehabilitation
Plan for rehabilitation of Lake Nyos area:
• In 2007, the government initiated a “National Programme for the
security and socio-economic reintegration of the Lake Nyos
Area Cameroon”.
• In 2008, the government launched the Lake Nyos
Programme, as precursor to the national project.
o Key objectives were to:
Ensure the security and safety of the region.
Improve the socio-economic conditions of disaster survivors.

Is the national project or final rehabilitation soon to start?
• In January 2016, the government announced that the LND
survivors will soon be finally resettled back to their home land.
o According to the “The Cameroon Daily Journal of 7th January,
2016” 100 millions CFA frs (≈ $172,000) from Region’s 32 billion
will be used to resettle LND victims. No further details provided.
Contemporary situation in the Lake Nyos Region
• The recommended socio-economic development projects in the
region have not been implemented.
• 100 million CFA not enough to implement recommended project.

Potential challenges to the success of the rehabilitation
project:
• Ensuring the region has adequate socio-economic facilities.
• Management of land ownership rights in the region.
• Rebuilding trust in government.
• Establishing continued two-way communication between the
government and disaster affected population.
• To ensure the disaster affected population are involved in
every stage of the rehabilitation program.

Successful rehabilitation requires government
to implement key activities in the region including, but
not limited to, the following:
• Ensure the region has basic socio-economic facilities.
• Adequate framework for land ownership rights.
• Appropriate, continuous education and confidence-building
projects that involve elites and community leaders.
• Adequate training of disaster managers, administrators & all
involved in the implementation of the programme.

Editor's Notes
Cameroon is prone to natural hazards mainly due to a geologic/topographic feature in the country known as the Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL)(Fitton, 1987; Suh et al., 2003). The CVL is exposed in both the oceanic sector (Pagalu, Sao Tome, Principe, and Bioko) and continental sector(extending from Mt. Etinde, Mt. Cameroon, Manengouba, Bambouto, Oku to Lake Chad)(figure 2). On this edifice, there is frequent occurrence of landslides, floods, earth tremors,toxic gas emissions (as happened in 1984 and 1986 in Lake Monoum and Lake Nyos respectively) and frequent volcanic eruptions. Located on the CVL, is Mt. Cameroon/Fako, the largest,most active and one of the most famous volcanoes in West and Central Africa (Kling et al., 1987; Duruelle et al., 1987; Fitton, 1987; Freeth and Kay, 1987; Ayonghe et al., 1999; Bang, 2012, 2013).
The CVL is a 1,600km long NE-SW alignment/chain of volcanoes that cuts across the country.

After the LND, 4,500 disaster survivors were resettled in the camps. By 2013, this population has risen to around 12,000 (Median Newspaper, 2014).
Related research findings have shown that the DS have been made poorer due to resettlement.:
Access to Land
Limited Job opportunities
Homelessness,
Housing conditions
Increased morbidity and mortality
Food insecurity
Loss of access to common property
Social disarticulation
Disrupted social and religious practices
Increase in criminality
