Increase in extreme events and vulnerability to climate change raises the importance of more accurate forecast and warning at local level for mitigation and adaptation of climate effects.
Keyword/phrase searches were conducted using PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/), Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com/), and Google (http://google.com/) for the following terms: "heat wave," "heat event," "extreme heat," "extreme temperature," "temperature event," "intervention," "adaptation," "mitigation," "warning," "advisory," "cooling center," and "cool center".
The keywords such as "disaster prevention and mitigation", "post-disaster reconstruction", and "monitoring and early warning" reveal important policy hotspots.
UNICEF will increasingly engage in climate change adaptation, risk mitigation, early warning, preparedness and emergency response in order to reduce the impact disasters can have on vulnerable populations, especially children and women.
Future heat warning systems and mitigation and intervention measures could target these high risk areas to reduce the burden of extreme weather on summertime morbidity and mortality.
These layers include security measures to control and limit access, containment and other mitigation systems, automatic warnings and alarms, and emergency response.
Meanwhile, several studies have been carried out to determine the seismic hazard level, the fault geometry and segmentation, mitigation of seismic risk, rapid response, and early warning.
The upside to creating a system for your company's data spans everything from unique insights about customers, opportunities for cost reduction, trends that indicate growth potential, and warning signs that call for risk mitigation.
Nonstructural mitigation involves modification of human behavior or natural processes without requiring the use of engineered structures, and includes regulatory measures, community awareness and education, warning systems, nonstructural physical modifications, environmental control, and behavioral modification.
And this also offers the potential to support vehicle safety applications, such as traffic signal violation warning, curving speed warning, emergency electronic brake light, pre-crashing sensing for cooperative collision mitigation, cooperative forward collision warning system, left turn assistance, lane change warning, and stop sign movement assistance [1].
