The mission of the Work Group was to develop short- and long-term strategies to reduce landslide impacts and improve transportation reliability throughout the corridor.
Potential strategies to reduce landslide interruptions and impacts were explored by the Work Group.
Strategies were outlined and evaluated for implementation time, complicating factors,
and short, moderate-, and long-term effectiveness to reduce or prevent landslides.
The Work Group recognizes that measurable long-term reduction in landslide-related impacts to passenger service will require substantial investments in capital improvement projects.
Depending on the financial resources available, as well as factors such as permitting, design, and construction scheduling, the time required to achieve significant reductions in landslide-related service interruptions will likely take one or more decades. less

Our group is representing various religions and denominations have arrived, mainly focusing their efforts on hard hit areas of West Lumberton and South Lumberton.
At no cost, we are gutting hurricane victims’ homes, clearing debris and spreading a message of faith in a world where a day of rain can wash away a lifetime of hard work and memories.
Lets join hands together to make lives of those people better. less

Organized by a group of... moreWine industry leaders have formed a support network to provide immediate assistance and long-term aid to victims of the fires ravaging Northern California and are calling on the national wine community for additional help. Organized by a group of association leaders representing the Golden State’s major winegrowing regions, support efforts include fundraising and creation of an online resource where vintners can find and offer resources, such as generators, trailers, lodging and manpower.
“Our focus right now is on getting on-the-ground support to impacted growers and vintners to help stave off further damage,” says Ann Petersen, Executive Director of Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley. “We need the entire wine community to support this region with immediate and strategic action.”
Petersen is working with other local industry leaders to organize resources and direct them to those in need. less

Thousands of refugees, the majority from Somalia, are fleeing into neighboring Kenya and Ethiopia - at some camps a reported 40 percent of new arrivals are acutely malnourished. Your support can help us bring lifesaving relief and supplies to those suffering from the worst drought in decades.
Solution:
International Medical Corps is currently on the ground in Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia, three countries expected to be most affected by the drought and we have already deployed an Emergency Response Team.
With your support, they will provide nutrition, medicine, sanitation and other basic necessities to those in refugee camps and others affected by this crisis, and to train communities and local health care workers to multiply the impact of our programs.
The basic motive of creating this group is to provide relief to... less

DIG aims to identify and leverage current drought research activities already underway within WCRP, especially under CLIVAR and GEWEX, through the activities of the VAMOS panel, the US CLIVAR Drought Working Group, and the GEWEX-Coordinated Energy and Water Cycle Observations Project (CEOP), etc.
DIG will also assess the missing links in drought research and coordinate drought research at an international level in order to advance, in particular, predictive understanding of extremes. less

“The teams will assess the livelihood situation of villagers in those areas,” U Tha Mya Kyaw said.
Our aim of creating this group is to provide shelter and food to the needy victims that are injured during cyclones at various places. less

The project will provide emergency funding to international and locally driven relief efforts, providing food, medicine, and other essential supplies to address impacted by these floods.
We believe that organizations that are deeply rooted in local communities are often in the best position to provide long-term support for disaster victims.
By funding the relief efforts of local organizations, donations to this fund have the potential to build stronger disaster-response capacity so that these organizations are better equipped to face future disasters. GlobalGiving group will post reports about how funds have been used and will email these reports to donors and subscribers. less

Security is a major concern for Europeans: the vast majority (80%) want the EU to do more to fight terrorism. However, European policy makers also realise that terrorism has no borders.
EU measures to prevent new attacks run from more thorough checks at Europe’s borders, to better police and judicial cooperation on tracing suspects and pursuing perpetrators, cutting the financing of terrorism, tackling organised crime, addressing radicalisation and others.
2018 As-Suwayda attacks: Islamic state militants carried out suicide bombings and gun attacks in the city of As-Suwayda and a number of villages in the southern Syrian governorate of As-Suwayda, killing 221 people, including 127 civilians, and injuring more than 200 others. At least 38 terrorists were also killed, including the suicide bombers.
