What's New?
August 4, 2006
Although three months have passed without any new document additions to the
Knowledge Base, the 3cd team has been intensively working in the collection of
City Profiles and Sound Practices. The amount of documents completed would not
be possible without the EMI Local Internship Program. This program allows for
interns living within the city to interact with the University and City level
contacts. Additional coordination is provided on Maui through the 3cd Program
Director, the 3cd Program Component 1 coordinator, and a PDC-ECO intern, all of
them working closely with the PDC technical team.
Five new City Profiles:
- Mexico City
- Dhaka
- Seoul
- Amman
- Mumbai—updated version
Nine new Sound Practices:
- Kobe—This comprehensive plan deals with the short and long term recovery from the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji earthquake.
- Bogota—These six sound practices range from capacity building, to emergency response, to mass media.
- Quito—This project applies research to locate vulnerability and improve the cities infrastructure.
- Mumbai—Increasing Mithi River discharge capacity to prevent flooding in low-lying areas.
Two new field trip reports:
- Metro Manila, May 21-26, 2006
