<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The library service will continue as usual, so members will still be able to request items and ask reference questions. The only difference is the address:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Lionel Murphy Library</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">3-5 National Circuit</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">BARTON ACT 2600</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Library members should now be aware of MyAthens, there was some confusion over the first email, but the reason for the UK email address is that the supplier is based in the UK. The link is safe to open and login details are included in the email. If you are having issues with your logins or want to update your details, please contact the library <a href="mailto:em.library@ag.gov.au">em.library@ag.gov.au</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Please have a look at this <a href="https://auth.athensams.net/?ath_returl=%2Fmy%2F&ath_dspid=ATHENS.MY" target="_blank">new service</a>, along with the Web Discovery layer, you will be able to access all of the databases, journals and ebooks to which the library subscribe using a single login, but is only available to our Australian members. If the current statisitcs are anything to go by, it looks like many of you have already taken up the challenge. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We have also been busy uploading the library records to Libraries Australia, so the collection can be accessed through <a href="http://trove.nla.gov.au/" target="_blank">Trove</a> allowing other libraries to request items on behalf of their members.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">As the library is going through significant changes, please bear with us, especially during the first couple weeks of May, and we look forward to continued support from our members as we make this transition.</span><br />

It is a world of whimsy and fantasy, a world where people have to think they can control the uncontrollable. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the Second Edition of <em>Disaster Policy and
Politics</em>, author Richard Sylves provides much-needed contemporary
coverage of the fields of disaster management and homeland security interspersed
with mini-case studies of events such as the Tuscaloosa tornado; the Boston
Marathon bombing; Superstorm Sandy; the Boulder, Colorado floods of 2013;
Japan’s quake-tsunami and ensuing Fukushima nuclear disaster; as well as
Hurricane Katrina and 9/11. Paying special attention to the role of key
actors—decision makers at the federal, state, and local levels; scientists;
engineers; civil and military personnel; officials; and first responders—the
author explores how physical and social science researchers contribute to and
engage in disaster policy development and management.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Providing readers with a well-rounded understanding of disaster responses, this book first explores the various types of disasters that may occur. It then uncovers the myriad of actors that are involved in emergency management as well as the diverse theoretical frameworks from which post-disaster activities may be approached. Readers will gain a better understanding of the typical challenges to be expected during response efforts as well as the tools and techniques that will enhance the ability to protect lives, reduce property damage and minimize disruption.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em>Disasters by Design</em> provides an alternative and sustainable way to view, study, and manage hazards in the United States that would result in disaster-resilient communities, higher environmental quality, inter- and intragenerational equity, economic sustainability, and improved quality of life. This volume provides an overview of what is known about natural hazards, disasters, recovery, and mitigation, how research findings have been translated into policies and programs; and a sustainable hazard mitigation research agenda. Also provided is an examination of past disaster losses and hazards management over the past 20 years, including factors--demographic, climate, social--that influence loss. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Disaster management is a vibrant and growing field, driven by government spending in the wake of terrorist attacks and environmental debacles, as well as private-sector hiring of risk managers and emergency planners. An ever-increasing number of practicing professionals needs a reference that can provide a solid foundation in ALL major phases of supervision - mitigation, preparedness, response, communications, and recovery. As climate change leads to further costly catastrophes and as countries around the world continue to struggle with terrorism, the demand for solutions will only grow. This revised edition of Coppolaâs revered resource meets said demand head-on with more focused, current, thoughtfully analyzed, and effective approaches to disaster relief.</span><br />

The transition process, to be completed by mid-2015, will allow AEMI greater flexibility to deliver emergency management education and training, and products and services in new and innovative ways. AEMI is committed to the continued delivery of the Advanced </span><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Diploma of Public Safety (Emergency Management) as well as many of the current AEMI programs, and to develop new products and services to enhance the building of national disaster resilience.<br /> <br /> Looking to the future, AEMI’s role as the national Centre of Excellence for emergency management education and training is both valued and assured. What is changing is only the aspects of how AEMI will deliver emergency management education and capability development by being more agile and responsive to the needs of jurisdictions and to agencies with emergency management contexts.<br /> <br /> The AEMI Transitioning Team, led by Mark Crosweller, Director-General Emergency Management Australia, is currently working through developing the future education delivery products, as well as the community engagement and knowledge management products and services that will continue to meet the needs of the sector and wider community.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On 18 January 1977, a passenger train left Mount Victoria in the Blue Mountains for Sydney. Whilst negotiating a left hand curve 250 m west of the Granville Railway Station, the train derailed causing it to collide with the northern trestle supporting the Bold Street Bridge. The bridge collapsed on the train, destroying one carriage and crushing two others.</span></div>
