SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: The Path to Justice40: Indicators and Metrics for Assessing and Engaging Frontline Communities
DESCRIPTION:Title: The Path to Justice40: Indicators and Metrics for Assessing and Engaging Frontline Communities\n \nPresenter(s): Gwendolyn Damestoit \nDate: Thursday\, July 25\, 2024 at 2:00 pm – 2:30 pm ET\n \nMeeting link : https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/8902629542552066646 \nAbout Speaker:  Gwendolyn Damestoit \nAbstract: \nThis research\, conducted  under the mentorship of NOAA/NERTO mentors Dr. Ariela Zycherman\, Dr. Chelsea Combest-Friedman\, and CESSRST Advisor Dr. Fernando Tormos-Aponte\, aimed to investigate the decision-making processes within the Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments Program (RISA) teams concerning community engagement\, with a specific focus on frontline communities. The objective was to comprehend how RISA projects are scoped\, benefits are identified\, and community partnerships are established. The study was particularly relevant in the context of supporting federal agencies’ response to the Justice40 Initiative (EO14008\, Sec223)\, which seeks to ensure that 40% of the benefits from federal investments in climate change are directed towards “disadvantaged” communities. Under this initiative\, federal agencies are required to define and geographically identify the communities meeting the criteria of “disadvantaged” to receive funding. The primary task involves identifying the diverse metrics and considerations employed by RISA teams in determining their project locations and community collaborators. This was achieved through informal interviews with principal investigators and program managers within RISA teams. Qualitative analysis techniques were utilized to discern common metrics across the network and region-specific indicators. Furthermore\, the research compares these metrics with existing environmental justice and social vulnerability tools to develop a framework for identifying beneficiary communities in alignment with the Justice40 initiative. The outcomes of this study contribute to enhancing the effectiveness of the RISA program in addressing climate and social justice concerns while aligning with broader equity priorities of the administration.

SUMMARY:NOAA Seminar Series: Implementation and Sustainability of the UNESCO/IOC Tsunami Ready Program
DESCRIPTION:Title: Implementation and Sustainability of the UNESCO/IOC Tsunami Ready Program\n \nPresenter(s):Wendy Prudencio \nDate: Thursday\, July 25\, 2024 at 2:30 pm – 3:00 pm ET\n \nGoogle Meet joining info \nGoogle Meet joining info \nVideo call link:  meet.google.com/mfn-yhxq-nxf \nOr dial: ‪(US)+1 307-364-0663 PIN: ‪797 007 689#  \nMore phone numbers: https://tel.meet/mfn-yhxq-nxf?pin=8888412615303&hs=1 \n\nAbout Speaker: Wendy Prudencio \nAbstract: \nTsunamis are natural hazards that are caused by other hazards\, such as earthquakes\, volcanic eruptions\, submarine landslides\, and meteorites. Tsunamis can be life-threatening\, and therefore\, mitigation and preparedness for these events are necessary. In 2001\, the National Weather Service (NWS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) established the Tsunami Ready Program in coordination with the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program (NTHMP) to assist coastal communities throughout the United States (Bernard\, 2005). The Tsunami Ready Program promotes mitigation\, awareness\, preparedness\, and response to tsunamis through community-based efforts. This program has paved the way for the International Tsunami Information Center to support the piloting\, establishment\, and ongoing implementation of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Tsunami Ready Recognition Programme. Implementation and sustainability of the Tsunami Ready Program are crucial to coastal communities in order to improve resiliency and reduce the impact on life\, property\, and livelihoods. \nThe results are from the NOAA EPP/MSI CSC NERTO graduate internship project that was conducted with NOAA mentor Dr. Christa G. von Hillebrandt-Andrade of the International Tsunami Information Center Caribbean Office of NWS. The NERTO aligns with the NOAA CSC Center for Earth System Sciences and Remote Sensing Technologies II (CESSRST II) goal to Conduct NOAA mission-aligned collaborative research. The NERTO Implementation and Sustainability of the UNESCO/IOC Tsunami Ready Program also deepened the intern’s understanding of NOAA’s tsunami hazard mitigation strategies\, which enhanced their capacity to support coastal community preparedness and resilience initiatives effectively
