Chapter 1-3 Sawyer Highlights Flashcards
Feeling Saw yeet?
Five stages of flood background?
- Willing to live
- Utilize to plain
- Control the flood
- Reduce the damage
- Manage the risk
China Case study notes?
Invested in control but loses also increased
More effort on planning and preparedness
More resilient and aware of residual risk
Asia Tsnumi notes?
- Even a small amount of time is enough to warn people and reduce losses
- Don’t put critical structures in exposed locations
New Orleans notes?
Need for method to asses condition of structures
Seven ongoing challenges
- Integrate: just having structural doesn’t work
- Responsibility: needs to be clear
- Reliability: Maintenance is key
- Nonstructural: Needs adoption, takes little damage
- Laws: decision to invest need to be clear
- Data: use high quality data
- Participation: public participation is essential
Four types of components
- Hard - levees
- Soft - wetlands
- Non - forecast and warning
- Policy - land use
Two parts of risk
- Probability
2. Concequence
Two parts of consequence
- Exposure
2. Vulnerability
Three parts of vulnerability

- Value
- Resilience
Fours parts of a whole system view

Eight Monitors and review teach us?
- History teaches us less
- Consider many futures
- Avoid short term-ness
- Long term needs long term commitment
- New and radical solutions
- Use thing that are already built where possible
- Views change so solutions need to be ready for that change
- FRM happen along side other sustainability goals that need to be understood
Three approaches to combing criteria
- Create wighting process
- Convert ot coins
- Hybrid approach
