We're hosting the 2023 APRU Multi-Hazard Symposium in Singapore! Abstract submissions are open and we look forward to hosting you here!

We're hosting the APRU Multi-Hazards Symposium 2023 in Singapore! Please submit an abstract and join us in exchanging ideas about hazards 🌊🌋☀️, their impacts on society🌆, and how we work together to build more resilient communities 💪🎋🏘️! APRU #UnderstandingRisk #EOSsg

Happy to be speaking at TEDx next week about climate and disaster risk, and hearing from other speakers on fascinating topics. Come in person or follow remotely: tedxntu.sg #UnderstandingRisk #disasterrisk #ClimateCrisis #ClimateResilience

So great to visit the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC ) in Geneva, and discuss collaborations to better understand, monitor and model climate and disaster induced displacement! Thank you Thannaletchimy Housset PhD and @SPonserre for sharing your incredible work! Disaster Analytics for Society Lab

🧧Postdoc position available in disaster risk modelling and analysis, with @volcanorisk and Lallemant Disaster Analytics for Society Lab @ NTU at Earth Observatory SG, as part of #InVEST_EOS. Please RT, and/or apply here: shorturl.at/alCI2, open until 1 January 2024.

"We, the #AvertedDisasterAward Selection Committee, request applicants to use counterfactual analysis to demonstrate what could have occurred without intervention, making the invisible visible." Shanna N. McClain, PhD Submit your nomination for the ADA 2024: averteddisasteraward.org

We are very, very happy to present this award to Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, and to have Maneesha V Ramesh on the #GlobalDP stage. It's a pleasure to hear about her experience on how their project has improved the lives of so many people! 🏆Congratulations! #AvertedDisasterAward

🎉 We published on "The Importance of Accounting for Equity in Disaster Risk Models" in Nature Portfolio Communications Earth & Environment. TLDR: standard risk assessments obscure inequities in distribution of disaster risk, and we demonstrate how to do better.🚨 Full paper at: nature.com/articles/s4324…

Every post disaster assessment demonstrates that the impact of disaster is deeply inequitable. As such, we should make sure that our ex-ante risk models capture those same inequities to better inform resilience-building. Learn more about this in our recent paper 👇

My latest paper with Lallemant Disaster Analytics for Society Lab @ NTU is out !! 🎉🚨 It demonstrates that including epistemic uncertainties has a significant influence in flood hazard estimates, especially for rare events, and proposes a way to include them in hazard maps Check it out! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Preparing an Intro to Data Science course for Civil Engineering and facing my inner dilemma: frequentist or Bayesian statistics? Seeking expert opinions! The course emphasizes complex model building and predictive inference #DataScience #Statistics #AcademicChatter

PhD Clarence Sim is once again on his mission to uncover what early career #researchers in #Singapore are up to! This time, he asks Sonali Manimaran about what #DisasterRiskManagement is all about!

Did you feel the earthquake in New Jersey/New York? These reports provide useful information on shaking intensity and distribution. Share your observations by filling out the USGS' 'Did You Feel It?' report. Report now: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ev… #EarthquakeAwareness USGS Earthquakes

The term 'disaster' evokes inevitability, a legacy of its Latin origins implying a misfortune dictated by the stars. However, the risks associated with climate and disasters are not predetermined. Watch my TEDx talk on this topic: youtube.com/watch?v=B4IJ7Q… #ClimateAction #Disaster

🚨Our new review paper🚨 explores how secondary earthquake hazards are often amplified by human activity. Full thread by lead author Emma Hill below 👇

New research led by #EOSsg and Asian School Of The Environment scientists has shown that various human activities and modifications of our landscape can make landslides, tsunamis, liquefaction after an earthquake worse.

We are very excited to share some details about another finalist for the Averted Disaster Award 2024! The brave & selfless efforts of @DRFEVDM, equipped with precision machinery & rescue tools, have built trust among the citizens of #Hyderabad regarding their safety by

Loved reconnecting with Elizabeth McNaughton on the "Disrupting Disasters" podcast! 🎙️ We discussed the climate crisis, resilience, decision-making, and more. Have a listen and share your thoughts! 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/23ZvgU… #ClimateRisk #Resilience #ClimatePodcast #RiskManagement
