Our relief convoys have crossed active frontlines and our aircraft have air-dropped aid to reach over 1.2 million civilians, many more than once, in besieged, hard-to-reach and other priority locations in which people desperately need our help.
An update to the strategy, introduced in May last year, includes several measures designed to have a shorter-term impact, including a ban on motor vehicle engine idling at priority locations, the use of dust suppressants and "green infrastructure", such as screens of trees.
Moreover, the identification of priority locations across all solutions can further integrate landscape optimization approaches into spatial planning and inform policy design and implementation.
This research identifies high priority locations for early detection and invasion control and illustrates how iSDMs can be used to analyze the actual versus potential distribution of emerging infectious disease in a complex, heterogeneous ecosystem.
Our results indicate that for one sub-catchment of the Lake Thunderbird Watershed, LID placed in 11 priority locations can facilitate reductions in nutrient and sediment loading to receiving waters by as much as 16% and 17%, respectively.
Maxted and Kell (2009) noted that in order to establish in situ genetic reserves, detailed genetic studies of wild rice species are vital as they help in identifying priority locations for in situ conservation.
Traditional planning relied much on the experience of maintenance and operation staff, which focused more on local sites where adverse weather (i.e., snow and ice) caused safety concerns at problematic locations and sometimes made the selection of priority locations subjective and time-consuming.
Thirdly, this study analyzes the land use pattern of HSAs under the three scenarios and identifies the HSAs for high intensity land uses such as agriculture and urban to be the high priority locations for implementing best management practices for water quality improvements.
Work resumed in May 2011 at priority locations, Haymarket Yards and Gogar, while the project's future was decided by the council.
