THE MOST IMPORTANT RESULTS OF GHI'S WORK IN NORTHERN HAITI INCLUDE:-CONDUCTED SEISMIC EVALUATIONS OF 10 CRITICAL PUBLIC BUILDINGS (E.G. GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS, HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS) AND PREPARED CONCEPT SEISMIC-STRENGTHENING SCHEMES FOR 8 OF THEM IDENTIFIED AS VULNERABLE. THIRTEEN HAITIAN PUBLIC- AND PRIVATE-SECTOR ENGINEERS PARTICIPATED IN THESE SEISMIC EVALUATIONS AND RECEIVED ON-THE-JOB TRAINING. -TRAINED 36 HAITIAN PUBLIC- AND PRIVATE-SECTOR ENGINEERS IN THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS AND METHODOLOGIES OF BUILDING SEISMIC EVALUATIONS BY HOLDING THREE WORKSHOPS IN CAP-HAITIEN, FORT-LIBERTE AND PORT-DE-PAIX. GHI BELIEVES THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME ANY TRAINING ON THIS TOPIC HAD BEEN DELIVERED IN NORTHERN HAITI.-COMPLETED A SURVEY OF 15 PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL CAMPUSES IN NORTHERN HAITI IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY THEIR KEY SEISMIC VULNERABILITIES AND DETERMINED THAT THEY WOULD MAKE GOOD CANDIDATES FOR PRESCRIPTIVE RETROFIT SOLUTIONS. -CREATED INVENTORY OF 54 CRITICAL PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND INFRASTRUCTURE IN CAP-HAITIEN, FORT-LIBERTE, AND PORT-DE-PAIX.-SURVEYED 23 HAITIAN PUBLIC- AND PRIVATE-SECTOR ENGINEERS IN THE NORTH TO EVALUATE THEIR LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT EARTHQUAKE-RESISTANT DESIGN.-COMPLETED A BACKGROUND RESEARCH DESK REVIEW DOCUMENT THAT SUMMARIZED THE KEY SEISMIC VULNERABILITIES OF THE HAITIAN BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND THEIR CAUSES.-ANALYZED EXISTING DISASTER PREPAREDNESS MATERIALS APPROVED BY THE HAITIAN CIVIL PROTECTION AND IDENTIFIED GAPS RELATED TO EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS.-ESTABLISHED OFFICES IN CAP-HAITIAN AND PORT-DE-PAIX AND HIRED AND TRAINED HAITIAN STAFF. 202429 REDUCING RISK, RAISING AWARENESS AND LIMITING PREDICTABLE LOSSES IN AIZAWL, INDIAAIZAWL, THE CAPITAL OF NORTHEAST INDIA'S MIZORAM STATE, FACES A HIGH RISK OF EARTHQUAKES FROM SEVERAL MAJOR ACTIVE FAULTS. WITH FUNDING SUPPORT FROM GLOBAL REINSURER MUNICH RE, THE PROJECT MENTORS AIZAWL'S PLANNERS, ENGINEERS AND GEOLOGISTS, GHI FORMED A TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PANEL THAT TEAMED LOCAL PROFESSIONALS WITH RENOWNED TECHNICAL AND POLICY EXPERTS FROM THE US AND INDIA. THIS TEAM BROUGHT TOGETHER SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS WHO UNDERSTAND HAZARDS AND MITIGATION WITH POLICYMAKERS WHO CAN IMPLEMENT LASTING CHANGE. MAJOR ACTIVITIES:- CONDUCTED MULTI-DISCIPLINARY FIELDWORK TO ASSESS BUILDING AND INFRASTRUCTURE VULNERABILITY, POPULATION EXPOSURE, GEOLOGY AND LANDSLIDE HAZARD;- PRESENTED DETAILED FINDINGS IN THE FORMAT OF AN EARTHQUAKE SCENARIO;- RECOMMENDED SPECIFIC RISK MITIGATION MEASURES, BOTH NEAR TERM AND LONG TERM;- LAUNCHED THE LANDSLIDE POLICY COMMITTEE FOR AIZAWL CITY, WITH MUNICIPAL, STATE, AND TECHNICAL PARTICIPANTS; HELPED THE COMMITTEE CREATE LANDSLIDE SAFETY ACTION PLAN;- HELPED AIZAWL MUNICIPAL COUNCIL WRITE NEW SITE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS TO CONTROL MODIFICATIONS THAT CAN DESTABILIZE SLOPES;- DEVELOPED DETAILED LANDSLIDE HAZARD MAPS AND A LANDSLIDE INVENTORY, TO FORM THE BASIS OF THE CITY'S NEW LAND USE POLICIES AND REGULATIONS;- PROVIDED LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WITH ASSISTANCE IN ATTRACTING RESOURCES TO REDUCE RISK FROM NATIONAL SOURCES;- CONDUCTED SCHOOL EARTHQUAKE SAFETY PROGRAMS, AND FACILITATED PARTICIPATION OF MORE THAN 40 SCHOOLS IN GEOHAZARDS SOCIETY'S NATIONWIDE SCHOOL EARTHQUAKE DRILL. GHI'S TEAM OF LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL EXPERTS DEVELOPED A SCENARIO THAT EXPLAINS THE CONSEQUENCES OF A PLAUSIBLE BUT HYPOTHETICAL MAGNITUDE 7 EARTHQUAKE IN AIZAWL. MORE IMPORTANT, THE REPORT PRESENTS NUMEROUS, DETAILED RECOMMENDATIONS TO REDUCE EARTHQUAKE AND LANDSLIDE RISK OVER TIME. THESE INCLUDE IMPROVEMENTS TO INFRASTRUCTURE, DEVELOPMENT POLICIES AND PLANS, BUILDING DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION, EMERGENCY PLANNING AND PREPAREDNESS, AND RESPONSE CAPABILITIES. 133582 IMPROVE SCHOOL AND HOSPITAL EARTHQUAKE SAFETY IN GFDRR PRIORITY COUNTRIESBHUTAN AND MANY PARTS OF INDIA FACE HIGH SEISMIC RISK AND ENCOUNTER FREQUENT EARTHQUAKES. BOTH BHUTAN AND INDIA ARE IN NEED OF SYSTEMATIC, NATIONAL-LEVEL PLANS TO GUIDE FUNDING THAT WILL IMPROVE HOW SCHOOLS AND HEALTH FACILITIES PERFORM IN EARTHQUAKES. GHI, WITH FUNDING FROM GLOBAL FACILITY FOR DISASTER REDUCTION AND RECOVERY (GFDRR), DEVELOPED CONSENSUS-BASED, NATIONAL ACTION PLANS FOR SCHOOL AND HOSPITAL EARTHQUAKE SAFETY IN BHUTAN AND INDIA. PROFESSIONALS AND GOVERNMENT STAFF WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DESIGNING, BUILDING, MAINTAINING, ADMINISTERING AND REGULATING SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS IN EACH COUNTRY CONTRIBUTED. IN BHUTAN, THE MINISTRIES OF HEALTH AND EDUCATION HAVE INCORPORATED IMMEDIATE PRIORITY ITEMS FROM THE ACTION PLANS INTO THEIR PRIORITIES FOR THE UPCOMING FIVE YEAR PLAN. IN INDIA, THE NATIONAL ACTION PLANS WILL BE PART OF TWO LARGER NATIONAL, BINDING GUIDELINES ON HOSPITAL SAFETY AND SCHOOL SAFETY PUBLISHED BY THE NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY (NDMA).ADDITIONAL WORK IN BHUTAN HAS BUILT GOVERNMENT AGENCY CAPACITY TO ASSESS STRUCTURAL VULNERABILITY OF BUILDINGS BEFORE EARTHQUAKES OCCUR, AND IS DEVELOPING GUIDANCE FOR ASSESSING THE SAFETY OF DAMAGED BUILDINGS AFTERWARD. THIS WORK ALSO INCLUDES PROVIDING AN ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE ON SEISMIC HAZARD IN BHUTAN, TO DETERMINE WHAT IS NEEDED TO OBTAIN A HAZARD MAP TO USE IN THE BUILDING CODE. GHI WORKED WITH ENGINEERS FROM BHUTAN AND THE US TO DEVELOP VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT CHECKLISTS FOR BHUTAN'S HEALTH CLINICS AND SCHOOL BUILDINGS, AND HAS TRAINED GOVERNMENT ENGINEERS TO USE THE CHECKLISTS. THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION HAS NOW BEGUN THE NATIONWIDE VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT OF SCHOOLS.TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON POST-EARTHQUAKE SAFETY ASSESSMENT OF BHUTAN'S BUILDINGS, GHI HAS TEAMED WITH THE APPLIED TECHNOLOGY COUNCIL (ATC), AND BHUTAN'S DEPARTMENTS OF ENGINEERING SERVICES (DES) AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT (DDM). A GROUP OF ENGINEERS FROM BHUTAN AND THE US HAVE COLLABORATED ELECTRONICALLY, MET FOR INTENSIVE PANEL DISCUSSIONS, AND CONDUCTED FIELDWORK TO DEVELOP A POST-EARTHQUAKE SAFETY EVALUATION DOCUMENT FOR BHUTANESE BUILDINGS, BASED ON THE WIDELY USED ATC-20-1, FIELD MANUAL: POST EARTHQUAKE SAFETY EVALUATION OF BUILDINGS, 2ND EDITION. ADOPTION OF THE NATIONAL ACTION PLANS FOR SCHOOL AND HOSPITAL EARTHQUAKE SAFETY REPRESENT INDIA'S AND BHUTAN'S COMMITMENT TO SAFETY AND PREPAREDNESS. BHUTAN'S GOVERNMENT HAS ALREADY INCORPORATED THE GUIDANCE INTO ITS NATIONAL FIVE YEAR PLAN. GHI'S ADDITIONAL WORK IN BHUTAN TO ASSESS POST-EARTHQUAKE SAFETY OF BUILDINGS AND TO TRAIN ENGINEERS WILL FURTHER INCREASE PREPAREDNESS AND CAPACITIES AMONG THE COUNTRY'S ENGINEERS, AND WILL RESULT IN SAFER HEALTH AND EDUCATION FACILITIES. 388098 3393 OTHER PROGRAMS:GHI IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL PROJECTS:WITH FUNDING FROM USAID-OFDA, GHI IS WORKING WITH 69 INTERNATIONAL SAFETY PROFESSIONALS FROM 22 COUNTRIES, TO DEVELOP DATA ON PROTECTIVE ACTIONS DURING EARTHQUAKES.THE HEISING-SIMONS NATURAL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION GEOHAZARDS INTERNATIONALUC BERKELEY STUDENT INTERNSHIP INVOLVES UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AT UC BERKELEY WHO WILL CONDUCT AND APPLY EARTH SCIENCE AND CIVIL ENGINEERING RESEARCH THAT HELPS EMERGING COUNTRIES REDUCE RISK FROM NATURAL HAZARD EVENTS.GHI WAS ENGAGED BY WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, WITH SUPPORT FROM THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION HUMANITARIAN AID AND CIVIL PROTECTION, TO ASSESS EARTHQUAKE VULNERABILITIES AT THE NATIONAL REFERRAL HOSPITAL AND TWO DISTRICT HOSPITALS IN BHUTAN.
