Emergency management, usually incorporated as part of a Safety Element, is also specifically required to be addressed in General Plans by the State General Plan Statute. Since preparation of the 1977 Master Plan, the Berkeley community has recognized a much greater need to anticipate and plan for services to address fire, seismic, landslide, and flood hazards*. This section focuses on the Conditions, Trends and Issues pertaining to these natural and human-made disasters. Emergency Response: The most significant measure the City of Berkeley has adopted in preparing for emergencies is a City-wide emergency plan known as the Multi Hazard Functional Plan for emergency operations.

Traditionally, within geological sciences, mass extinctions have been seen as some type of catastrophe for the world's biota. There have been many, long-term discussions about the importance of such catastrophes during earth history, and especially about their importance for long-term evolution. In Darwin's time (1850-1860s) the view that catastrophes were an integral part of evolution was frowned upon, and seen as a fall-back to ancient theories of catastrophism , as exemplified by the description of Noah's flood in the Bible. This view has changed recently, and modern ideas of catastrophism are part of an active discussion of ' internal' and 'external' causes of evolution . Internal causes meaning causes internal to the biota (such as competition, evolution of diseases), external meaning causes external to the biota (such as volcanic eruptions or nuclear war).

EES 104 History of Life on Earth Ellen Thomas RETURN TO SYLLABUS Disasters and Catastrophes: Mass extinctions Snowball Earth Meteorite Impact at the end of the Cretaceous Points to remember Definition of mass extinction What are possible causes of mass extinctions (terrestrial and extraterrestrial)? How can we find out whether an extraterrestrial event (e.g., impact of an asteroid) happened? When did the largest five mass extinctions occur? Did all mass extinctions have the same cause? If so, what was it? If not, what are the most commonly quoted possible causes of mass extinction? How do we find evidence for the causes of mass extinctions? Patterns of Mass Extinctions: In daily news reports, these words 'disaster' and 'catastrophe' are almost always used in relation to human life or property loss. Large earthquakes in uninhabited parts of the world (such as the recent large earth quake of magnitude 7.1 in the Arizona and California desert) are not commonly described as catastrophic, whereas much less violent earthquakes in densely populated areas are. This makes it difficult to coin a clear definition for use of these words for periods in Earth history when which we do not have a human yardstick. A ' mass extinction ' would probably be included in the category of catastrophes and disasters. But how to define 'mass-extinction'? A

Natural World How often do Earth's magnetic poles reverse? What's the largest known nebula? Where are the coldest volcanoes? The brightest auroras in the solar system. ... Will the milky Way Galaxy collide with another galaxy? Human Technology Why is there no "Q" or "Z" on many telephones? Why does a week have seven days? How many languages are there in the world? What's the fastest that humans have ever traveled? ... How do spacewalking astronauts stay warm (or cool)? How often do Earth's magnetic poles reverse? The magnetic field of Earth is not constant. Not only does the magnetic pole wander slowly, every so often the entire magnetic field flips completely over. No one knows why this happens, although there are theories relating it to the movement of liquid iron deep inside the Earth. Pole reversals happen at unpredictable intervals of 5000 years to nearly one million years. By studying the magnetic fields of rocks that solidified at various times in the past, scientists have been able to reconstruct the history of Earth's magnetic pole reversals. Once that history was clear, it became possible to date certain rock formations by studying their magnetic fields. Together, these two approaches have helped us pin down the age of the Earth and the times of various events in its history.

YOWUSA.COM, February 18, 2002 Len Bucuvalas Nibiru is a Planet X-class Kupier Belt Object (XKBO) that allegedly is on an elliptical orbit between our own Sun and a dwarf star that may be located 18 times the distance from our Sun to Pluto, outside of Pluto's orbit - an orbit that takes approximately 3600 years to complete. According to Zacharia Sitchin, the last Earth flyby was during the Biblical Exodus from Egypt, and it, or some other XKBO could fly past Earth in 2003 and may cause what some scholars and scientists feel could become a human catastrophe on a Biblical scale! Reuters news service wire, September 13, 2000 A group of scientists in Russia in year 2000 held several meetings to discuss the inbound planet discovered from one of their largest observatories. This led to the infamous 2003 Problem.

And EXCEPT that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved [alive Moffart Translation]; BUT FOR THE ELECT'S SAKE, WHOM HE HAS CHOSEN, he has shortened the days." ... Even authors of textbooks confess their ignorance. They don't know WHY sea floors of ancient times have become the lofty high-mountains of today? What generates the enormous forces that bend, break, and mash the rocks in mountain zones? These questions still await satisfactory answers say the scientists! Scientists say there have been "ice ages." It can not be so, as they can't explain "scientifically" what could have caused the evaporation and immediately freezing? It is even admitted that this process is still a baffling mystery. The north of Siberia is the coldest place in the world. WHY DID NOT THE "ICE AGE" TOUCH THIS REGION IF IT EVER EXISTED? Evolutionists can't answer! The Mammoths Northeast Siberia, which was NOT covered by ice in the so-called Ice Age, conceals another enigma. The climate there has apparently changed drastically since the end of the so-called Ice Age.

The Ninth International Symposium on Natural and Human-Made Hazards: Disaster Mitigation in the Perspective of the New Millennium Antalya, Turkey (3-6 October 2002) Dear Colleague, Natural and human made disasters are still causing devastating suffering for humanity in the new millennium. Identification of risks, analysis of hazards and effective mitigation as well as preparedness against disasters pose important challenges for both the research community and for the society at large. It is acknowledged that an interdisciplinary approach is necessary for finding solutions for the protection of populations, the environment and the structures. Hazards 2002, the Ninth International Symposium on Natural and Human Made Hazards Background: The Hazards 2002 International Symposium is the ninth in the continuing inter-disciplinary series begun in 1988. The eighth Symposium was held in Tokushima, Japan 2000 and was attended by participants from over 25 countries around the world. The objectives of this series of symposia on Natural and Technological Hazards are to promote the advancement of hazard sciences, to perceive and explore those aspects that may be similar among some of the various hazards, to review the latest developments in several selected fields and to outline new directions for future research. Achieving the objectives of the symposia has taken on a new sense of urgency as a result of the large number of natural and human - made disasters (e.g. earthquakes, floods, tsunamis etc.) that have already occurred in various parts of the world over the last years.
