Topics included business recovery and the use of nuclear power. "Japan 2011: Cascading Disasters" was a plenary session of 13th National Conference on Science, Policy and the Environment, titled "Disasters and Environment: Science, Preparedness, and Resilience," held for three days in the Ronald Reagan Building by the National Council for Science and the Environment. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/310396-2 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/310396-2 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:41:56 GMT Scientific and government officials discussed the complexity of aridity and drought. U.S. Geological Survey research scientist Margaret Redsteer said climate change would affect not only the magnitude but the severity and duration of droughts. Topics included the economic impacts from wild fires throughout the U.S. in 2012 to the famines that impact sub-Saharan Africa. "Aridity and Drought and their Consequences" was a plenary session of 13th National Conference on Science, Policy and the Environment, titled "Disasters and Environment: Science, Preparedness, and Resilience," held for three days in the Ronald Reagan Building by the National Council for Science and the Environment. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/310396-4 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/310396-4 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:33:01 GMT Panelists talked about the various natural and human-made issues impacting the Gulf Coast, including potential future disasters. U.S. Geological Survey Director Marcia McNutt said that people should not live below sea-level due to "extreme events" and the gradual rise of sea level. In addition, the panel discussed potential vulnerabilities to hurricanes and other disasters due to loss in wetlands and degradation of ecological barriers. "The Gulf Coast: Diverse Converging Issues" was a plenary session of 13th National Conference on Science, Policy and the Environment, titled "Disasters and Environment: Science, Preparedness, and Resilience," held for three days in the Ronald Reagan Building by the National Council for Science and the Environment. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/310396-3 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/310396-3 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 15:31:38 GMT Margareta Wahlstrom and Craig Fugate spoke at a conference on the impact and response of natural and man-made disasters, along with environmental challenges, to help develop recommendations and solutions for scientists and policymakers. Mr. Fugate warned that budget constraints would make it difficult to get federal aid after a disaster. He emphasized the need for local communities to have better tools to manage risk. These were the opening keynote addresses of 13th National Conference on Science, Policy and the Environment, titled "Disasters and Environment: Science, Preparedness, and Resilience," held for three days in the Ronald Reagan Building by the National Council for Science and the Environment. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/310396-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/310396-1 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 20:29:13 GMT
