A POWERFUL OFFSHORE EARTHQUAKE NEAR THE NORTH COAST COULD ALSO QUICKLY GENERATE A LETHAL TSUNAMI.OUR PROGRAM IS EXPLAINING HOW AN EARTHQUAKE WILL AFFECT COMMUNITIES, AND HOW PEOPLE CAN BETTER PROTECT THEIR FAMILIES FROM HARM. WITH INPUT FROM LOCAL SAFETY COMMITTEES THAT GHI INITIATED, OUR IN-COUNTRY STAFF WILL DEVELOP NEW PUBLIC MESSAGES. PREPAREDNESS STORIES AND GRAPHICS MAY CIRCULATE VIA RADIO SPOTS, SOCIAL MEDIA, T-SHIRTS, CONTESTS AND STREET PLAYS, OR EVEN FROM SOUND TRUCKS DURING FESTIVALS. EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS ACTIVITIES WILL BE INTRODUCED IN SCHOOLS, CHURCHES AND IN DOOR-TO-DOOR CAMPAIGNS.COMMUNITIES WILL AT LAST HAVE ACTIONABLE EARTHQUAKE INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO WHERE THEY LIVE AND IN PLAIN LANGUAGE. WORKING WITH OUR TECHNICAL PARTNER, THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, WE WILL COMBINE BEST-AVAILABLE SCIENCE AND PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION IN SOURCEBOOKS WRITTEN IN KREYOL, FRENCH, SPANISH, AND ENGLISH, WHICH EVERYONE WORKING TO IMPROVE SAFETY CAN USE. 99392 0 0 RESILIENT SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, AND BUILDINGS ARE CRITICAL TO HOW A COMMUNITY FARES IN A DISASTER:EVERY YEAR, NATURAL DISASTERS DISRUPT CHILDREN'S EDUCATION IN POOR COUNTRIES. THE DIRECT DAMAGE INJURES STUDENTS AND DESTROYS POORLY CONSTRUCTED SCHOOL BUILDINGS. IN THE AFTERMATH, TEACHING AND LEARNING SUFFER. CHILDREN WHO LOSE THEIR SCHOOL MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FINISH THEIR STUDIES. WE WORK WITH YOUTH, EDUCATORS, AND BUILDERS TO MAKE SCHOOLS SAFER FROM DISASTERS. THROUGH OUR TIMOUN AN AKSYON ACTIVITIES, HAITIAN YOUTH ARE GAINING KNOWLEDGE TO UNDERSTAND THEIR OPTIONS AND BUILDING EXPERIENCE TO TAKE EFFECTIVE ACTION. THE PROJECT FOCUSES ON TWO DENSELY POPULATED DISTRICTS: DOWNTOWN CAP-HATIEN WHERE HISTORIC BUILDINGS LINE NARROW STREETS, AND LA PETITE ANSE WHERE PEOPLE LIVE VERY CLOSE TO THE SEA AND QUITE FAR FROM HIGH GROUND. IN NEPAL, THE MANY SCHOOLS MADE OF UNREINFORCED STONE MASONRY, OR OTHER BRITTLE MATERIAL, ARE LIKELY TO COLLAPSE IN A BIG EARTHQUAKE. UNTIL THESE BUILDINGS ARE UPGRADED, CHILDREN NEED PROTECTION FROM HEAVY DEBRIS THAT WILL FALL DURING SHAKING. FOR CONDITIONS LIKE THIS, WE PREVIOUSLY INTRODUCED THE AWARD-WINNING EARTHQUAKE DESK TO BHUTAN'S MINISTRY OF EDUCATION. DIFFERENT FROM A STANDARD SCHOOL DESK, THE EARTHQUAKE DESK CAN WITHSTAND HEAVY LOADS AND SHELTER TWO CHILDREN. WE ARE NOW ASSESSING THE FEASIBILITY OF THIS CONCEPT FOR NEPAL SCHOOLS.IN RURAL AREAS A SINGLE HOSPITAL OR CLINIC MAY BE THE ONLY PLACE TO GO FOR MEDICAL CARE. BUT AT A TIME WHEN PEOPLE NEED THEM MOST, DISASTERS CAN CRIPPLE THESE FACILITIES. TO CARE FOR A SURGE OF INJURED PATIENTS, AND TO KEEP FUNCTIONING THROUGH CHALLENGING CONDITIONS, HOSPITALS MUST PREPARE TO GO IT ALONE. WE HELP MEDICAL STAFF IDENTIFY THEIR CRISIS ROLES, PLAN HOW TO EVACUATE, PRACTICE DISASTER RESPONSE IN REALISTIC SIMULATIONS, AND AVOID LOSSES. WE ALSO HELP PLAN FOR BACKUP WATER, POWER, COMMUNICATIONS, AND CRITICAL SUPPLIES. 111274 0 0 ASSESSMENT AND SCENARIOS:PEOPLE HAVE A HARD TIME VISUALIZING HOW A MAJOR THREAT COULD BECOME A DISASTER THAT WILL AFFECT THEM AND THEIR FAMILY, IN SPECIFIC WAYS, FOR MONTHS AND YEARS. WE DEVELOP DISASTER SCENARIOS THAT PERSONALIZE THE IMPACTS. WE ASSESS THE SPECIFIC VULNERABILITIES OF LOCAL BUILDINGS AND INFRASTRUCTURE. OUR PROCESS ENGAGES DIVERSE VOICES ALONG WITH LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL EXPERTS. THE RESULTS MAKE COMPLEX PROBLEMS APPROACHABLE AND PROVIDE A COMPELLING BASIS FOR LOCAL DECISIONS ABOUT GROWTH, POLICY, AND ACTION. 294193 MENTORING, TRAINING, OTHER PROGRAMS:THERE IS NO QUICK FIX TO STRENGTHEN COMMUNITIES IN THE FACE OF DISASTERS. RESILIENCE REQUIRES PEOPLE WORKING ON MANY LEVELS - LOCAL PEOPLE WHO ARE BEST PLACED TO LEAD AND IMPLEMENT CHANGE. TO STRENGTHEN COMMUNITIES IN THE FACE OF DISASTERS, WE INVEST IN TRAINING AND MENTORING ACROSS THE COMMUNITY SPECTRUM. WITH NEW KNOWLEDGE AND CAPACITIES TO BUILD RESILIENCE, THESE PATHFINDERS WILL STEER LASTING IMPACT IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. OTHER PROGRAMS INCLUDE EFFORTS TO RAISE AWARENESS OF EARTHQUAKE RISK IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. THE DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION ABOUT EARTHQUAKE RISK AND HOW GHI SEEKS TO REDUCE THAT RISK OCCURS THROUGH NEWSLETTERS, PRESS RELEASES, A WEBSITE, WORKSHOPS, MEETINGS, SEMINARS, SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS, AND EVENTS. RESOURCES OF TIME AND ENERGY ARE ALSO SPENT COLLABORATING WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT ADDRESS RELEVANT ISSUES IN ORDER TO STRENGTHEN THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GHI.OUR INITIATIVES INCLUDE PROJECTS IN HAITI, INDIA, NEPAL, BHUTAN, CHINA AND THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. 294193 626499 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X X X VERONICA CEDILLOS 6506149050 687 BAY ROAD MENLO PARK CA 94025 VERONICA CEDILLOS PRESIDENT AND CEO 40.00 X X 146986 0 8819 BRIAN TUCKER FOUNDER 20.00 X X 84067 0 5044 JULIE JOMO SECRETARY/DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS 40.00 X X 83400 0 4500 KENNETH KORNBERG CHAIRMAN 2.00 X X 0 0 0 KIM BOSWELL TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES BRUNE TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 BRUCE CLARK TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 DEBBIE CLIFFORD TRUSTEE 3.00 X 0 0 0 GREGORY DEIERLEIN TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 JEREMY ISENBERG TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 MARIA WU KISKIS TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 MARYSE PENETTE-KEDAR TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 MING LEE TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER ROJAHN TRUSTEE 3.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA DWELLEY SAMANT TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 ANNE SANQUINI TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 YASUNORI SHOJI TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOE TORTORELLA TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 JANISE RODGERS CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER 40.00 X 145709 0 8479 460162 0 26842 2 0 1 0 0 164728 802999 967727 18513 18513 291781 196142 95639 95639 95639 OTHER INCOME 531110 153 153 153 1082032 153 0 114152 X 460162 209618 195045 55499 156771 66585 56291 33895 77421 34662 31541 11218 47420 21230 19319 6871 53610 42696 10245 669 202431 161219 38686 2526 3538 3538 61633 30010 23327 8296 53250 27420 24980 850 15201 11103 4092 6 35 35 7266 7266 TELEPHONE 6548 3236 3312 0 SUPPLIES 6148 1772 4376 0 PRINTING 1718 147 192 1379 POSTAGE 1476 0 209 1267 23645 16801 6017 827 1178273 626499 428471 123303 89022 16311 0 9533 51918 239258 0 3265 39737 39737 0 0 909282 841306 8082 0 1058304 1109673 67555 126958 0 16408 67555 143366 X 920937 684132 69812 282175 990749 966307 1058304 1109673 -96241 71799 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 939140 843280 843416 880603 967727 4474166 939140 843280 843416 880603 967727 4474166 890664 3583502 54798 39231 43275 21813 18603 177720 5648 2023 2733 3787 153 14344 4666230 0.76800 0.78000 X PART II LINE 10 - OTHER INCOME OTHER INCOME IN 2019 CONSISTS OF: 1.
