I am a (science) education researcher and look at most things in the world through the lens of education. On disaster (or anything else), the questions I ask are - e.g., why should we teach about it? What should we teach about it, and how? How can we support teachers to teach about disasters in their classrooms? My training in educational research has equipped me with the theories, tools and methods that can be utilised to approach these questions. I am hoping that these knowledge, experiences and skills can cross-fertilise with EcoGovLab's expertise in anthropology, SPS and environmental governance.

Our Purpose

One of our greatest responsibilities is to prepare the next generation to meet the challenges they will face in the 21st Century, with a deep commitment to the rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizenship. We have a unique opportunity for a community dialogue about the civic values, knowledge, and skills that K-12 students should learn and practice in our public school system. We will create strong community support for our schools to provide effective civic education for students to be successful in college, career and citizenship.

OUR MISSION

The mission of the Civic Education Center is to restore civility in America by creating opportunities for youth to learn and practice civic values and democratic skills.

The aim of the program is to provide courses to train Haitians to enhance their rehabilitation skills as Haiti has a lack of the rehabilitation professionals (this situation happened with both of before the earthquake and aftermath). After taking the courses, the citizens can either be rehabilitation technicians or orthopedic technicians.

The development funding is not mentioned in the article or from the university sites. Therefore, personally will assume that the funding is raised by the university and relevant engineering associations.

OSHA has collected data and reports from the followings:

• ž   Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities (IIF) program - U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
• ž   Inspection Data
• ž   Industrial Hygiene Air Sampling Data - Chemical Exposure Health Data
• ž   Severe Injury Reports

Personally would find the discussion and argument within the MFS members are compelling as the discussion had highlighted almost all the issues they have faced. Whereas these issues have become their pressure source and the fuse of their arguments. As mentioned above, the points made by their argument are valuable for any parties that intend for future serves within these areas, theoretical plans do not work in such areas which required an enormous amount of practices, and there is no ideal environment for ideal operations (~49:00 – 51:00). 

The connection for the patients and the providers can build upon the gamified health assessment via the smart phone device. Then these data are input to the provider’s section and the organizations’ section for further analytical uses. The engagement with the patients can also be done with licensed Video Chat for therapy. Or the let the patients input their information with a trackable plan.
