  • Heatwave Guide for Cities
    HEATWAVE GUIDE FOR CITIES HEATWAVE GUIDE FOR CITIES 2 HEATWAVE GUIDE FOR CITIES Heatwaves are deadly and their impacts are on the rise globally due to climate change. But this is not inevitable; it is up to us to prevent this public-health crisis from impacting our neighbours, family members and friends. Every year, heatwaves claim the lives of infants, older people, and people with chronic health conditions. The urban poor frequently bear the brunt of this silent emergency. In addition to threatening the lives and health of vulnerable popula- tions, heatwaves have cascading impacts in other areas of society, such as reduced economic output, strained health systems and rolling power outages. The Lancet estimates that in 2017, 153 billion hours of work were lost due to extreme heat. What is unacceptable about this silent emergency is that simple, low-cost actions such as ordinary citizens checking on vulnerable neighbours can save lives during episodes of extreme heat. As many as 5 billion people live in areas of the world where heatwaves can be forecast before they happen, which means we have time to take early action to save lives. To address the existing need and reduce future risks posed by climate change, we need collective global action to scale up early warning systems for heat. People living in urban areas are amongst the hardest hit when a heatwave occurs because these are hotter than the surrounding countryside. Along with climate change, urbanization is one of the most transformative trends of this century and the last. Over half the world now lives in urban areas and this is projected to increase to two-thirds by 2050.

  • 2015 World First Aid Day Global Activity Report
    2015 WORLD FIRST AID DAY GLOBAL ACTIVITY REPORT Introduction IFRC has been the world’s leading first aid trainer and provider for more than 100 years. In 2014, more than 15 million people were trained worldwide by National Societies. By aiming to equip many more millions of people with lifesaving skills worldwide, we can ensure, notably through the World First Aid Day, that first aid gains the attention and support it deserves as part of a broader resilience approach. World First Aid Day (WFAD) is a time to promote first aid as a lifesaving skill around the globe and ensure that a growing number of people and communities, anywhere, are prepared and equipped to save lives when a disaster or an emergency occurs. In 2015 WFAD was celebrated on Saturday 12 September, with the theme “first aid and ageing population”. The aim was to build a positive image of ageing and recognizing older people as an important resource. We believe that older people can be transformed from being cared for into people providing quality integrated care. We are advocating for empowering older people with life-saving skills. Older people trained in first aid means they can take swift and effective action to reduce serious injuries, spot early warning signs for non- communicable diseases such as strokes. Neither cape nor superpowers are needed to be a hero: “Be a hero. Save lives. First aid is for everyone, everywhere.” As in previous years IFRC provided some support through visual and communication tools to help National Societies promote WFAD. A communication toolkit was available on Fed Net: https://fednet.ifrc.org/wfad2015 and included: key messages first aid training for older people resource packs web banners infographics social media tips and guidelines My Story – an active first aid tag on the site (http://ifrc.tumblr.com/tagged/first-aid) to collect volunteer and beneficiary stories around first aid.

To understand Digital Twin and its future potential in manufacturing, we summarized the definition and state-of-the- art development outcomes of Digital Twin. Existing technologies for developing a Digital Twin for smart manufacturing are reviewed under a Digital Twin reference model to systematize the development methodology for Digital Twin. Representative applications are reviewed with a focus on the alignment with the proposed reference model. Outstanding research issues of developing Digital Twins for smart manufacturing are identified at the end of the paper. Keywords : Smart Manufacturing; Digital Twin; Industry 4.0; Cyber-physical System; Big Data; Standard; Industrial Communication Y. Lu, C, Liu, K, Wang, H, Huang, X.
