The survey has also promoted and improved the investigation of disaster-inducing factors and led to the investigation of disaster-affected bodies. Through the survey, China has basically figured out the hidden hazards across the country and secured a clear picture of the capacity of key regions to respond to natural disasters, Zheng said, adding that the survey has laid a solid foundation for further disaster risk assessment and zoning. "This is the first time for China to conduct a comprehensive risk survey on multiple disaster-affected bodies since the founding of New China.

Because what has to be decided by Türkiye is whether to ratify the accession documents and that is a decision that Türkiye has to take. It's the Turkish government, the Turkish parliament, that decides on the issue of ratification, and it's a Turkish decision alone. And that is that this is a Turkish decision. And therefore I also strongly condemn the burning, but also welcome the fact that Sweden has been able to prevent other manifestations with the burning of the Quran as part of the manifestation. And I understand the feelings of Muslims in Türkiye and around the world. And I also believe that to have Finland and Sweden inside the Alliance will actually strengthen our capabilities to fight international terrorism. So I continue to believe that the time is now to ratify both Finland and Sweden. And I understand and I share the pain because I personally regard the burning of the holy book as a disgraceful act. Then let me also say that I know that the burning of the Quran in Stockholm has created strong reactions in Türkiye. And Sweden is also amending their constitution and stepped up the cooperation with Türkiye, also established a permanent mechanism to continue to work closely with Türkiye in the fight against terrorism. You already referred to this issue this week, you said the main question is not whether together the ratification, the main question is that they should be ratified as soon as possible. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg: So my consistent position has been and remains that the time has come to ratify both Finland and Sweden and make them full members of our Alliance.

When calculating gross revenue, this program will account for previous pandemic-related assistance payments made to producers, such as Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) 1 and 2 payments and Emergency Relief Program Phase 1 payments, among others. PARP will help address gaps in previous pandemic assistance, which was targeted at price loss or lack of market access, rather than overall revenue losses. Registration for the webinar is free and can be found at They focus on the revenue of the producer in order to fill in gaps previous assistance programs may have missed. “Unlike most FSA disaster program applications, those for ERP 2 and PARP rely heavily on a producer’s personal financial records,” Berge said.

We can all practise being grateful and counting our blessings! Likewise, our children would not realise how blessed and fortunate we are to be in a safe and secure environment. Parents can affirm the feelings and validate them by talking about human suffering with faith-based perspectives. Children may also feel the injustice and the weight of the tragedy, sometimes their feelings might overwhelm them. Can we put ourselves in the However, because of how removed we are from the disaster zone, few of us would be able to realise the intensity of trauma and losses.

For Naomi in the Solomon Islands, countless school weeks have been missed due to cyclones – increasing in frequency and intensity without climate action. Our mission was to get kids excited about learning; I can’t describe the pride in seeing students grow and thrive throughout the year, expressing ideas more confidently and developing a genuine love of learning. Years ago, when I was working as a high school teacher, this first couple of weeks of school was about getting to know the kids in my classes.
