Preflight contingency planning that utilizes wind forecast in path planning can be highly beneficial to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) operators in preventing a possible mishap of the UAV. This especially becomes more important if the UAV has an engine failure resulting in the loss of all its thrust. Wind becomes a significant factor in determining reachability of the emergency landing site in a contingency like this. The preflight contingency plans can guide the UAV operators about how to glide the aircraft to the designated emergency landing site to make a safe landing. The need for a preflight or in-flight contingency plan is even more obvious in the case of a communication loss between the UAV operator and UAV since the UAV will then need to make the forced landing autonomously without the operator. In this paper, we introduce a preflight contingency planning approach that automates the forced landing path generation process for UAVs with engine failure. The contingency path generation aims true reachability to the emergency landing site by including the final approach part of the path in forecast wind conditions. In the contingency path generation, no-fly zones that could be in the area are accounted for and the contingency flight paths do not pass through them. If no plans can be found that fulfill reachability in the presence of no-fly zones, only then, as a last resort, the no-fly zone avoidance rule is relaxed. The contingency path generation utilizes hourly forecast wind data from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for the geographical area of interest and time of the flight. Different from past works, we use trochoidal paths instead of Dubins curves and incorporate wind as a parameter in the contingency path design.

ABSTRAK Angka kematian kelompok rentan akibat bencana masih sangat tinggi, seperti kejadian banjir bandang Garut dari 34 orang korban jiwa 35,4% diantaranya berusia 55-80 tahun dan 29%  merupakan anak-anak usia 0-14 tahun. Upaya pengurangan resiko harus dilakukan dengan memberdayakan masyarakat sehingga proses penanggulangan lebih efektif dengan respon yang cepat. Usia remaja merupakan kelompok yang sangat potensial karena memiliki angka resiliensi yang sangat baik. Selain itu pertumbuhan jumlah remaja sangat pesat dari kelompok umur lainnya, sehingga pemberdayaan kelompok remaja dengan perencanaan kontinjensi diharapkan meningkatkan kesiapsiagaan terhadap ancaman kematian sehingga dapat melakukan pendampingan terhadap kelompok rentan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh pemberdayaan (empowering) kelompok remaja akhir melalui pendekatan perencanaan kontinjensi dalam meningkatkan kesiapsiagaan remaja terhadap ancaman kematian akibat bencana. Penelitian menggunakan metoda quasi-experimental design dengan pendekatan rancangan one group pre-post test design. Populasi penelitian merupakan pelajar SMK diwilayah yang memiliki ancaman bencana. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 33 responden dengan teknik proporsional random sampling diambil dari empat sekolah yang berada di zona merah. Data diolah menggunakan analisis univariat menggunakan tendensi sentral, t-test dependent dengan tingkat kepercayaan 95% untuk melihat pengaruh dari intervensi, serta uji regresi linier ganda untuk menganalisis faktor mana yang paling berpengaruh terhadap kesiapsiagaan.Terdapat pengaruh pemberdayaan melalui pendekatan perencanaan kontinjensi dapat meningkatkan upaya kesiapsiagaan dengan nilai α (0.000). Peningkatan rerata (36,67%) didapatkan pada faktor yang mengawali kesiapsiagaan, diantaranya dilihat dari persepsi terhadap resiko, kewaspadaan terhadap ancaman, serta penurunan kecemasan. Faktor tersebut menstimulasi terbentuknya niat melakukan kesiapsiagaan dengan peningkatan (43,33%), bahkan meningkatkan upaya perencanaan kesiapsiagaan bencana sebesar (42,00%) sebelum dan setelah intervensi. Ketiga faktor tersebut saling berkaitan dan faktor pembentukan niat melakukan kesiapsiagaan menjadi faktor yang sangat berpengaruh terhadap kesiapsiagaan dengan nilai β (0,531). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa proses pemberdayaan melalui pendekatan perencanaan kontinjensi mampu meningkatkan kesiapsiagaan remaja terhadap ancaman kematian akibat bencana, sehingga dapat direkomendasikan bagi seluruh penggiat kebencanaan untuk memberdayakan remaja dengan perencanaan kontinjensi dalam upaya meningkatkan kesiapsiagaan terhadap ancaman kematian.  ABSTRACT The mortality rate of vulnerable groups due to the disaster is still very high, such as the incidence of flash floods at Garut,  of the 34 deaths among them  35.4% are 55-80 years old and 29% of children aged 0-14 years. Risk reduction efforts should be undertaken by empowering communities so that the countermeasures are more effective with rapid response. Adolescence is very potent because it has a very good resilience rate. In addition, the growth of adolescents is very rapidly from other age groups, so empowerment of adolescent groups with contingency planning is expected to increase preparedness against death threats so as to provide assistance to vulnerable groups. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of empowering the late adolescent group through contingency planning approach in the effort of preparedness against the threat of death due to the disaster.This study used quasi-experimental design method with one group pre-post test design approach. The study population was a vocational school student in the region that has disaster threats. The number of samples was 33 respondents with proportional random sampling technique from 4 schools in the red zone. Data were tested for data were analyzed by a central tendency for univariate analysis, t-test dependent with 95% confidence level to see the effect of the intervention, and determination of the most influential factor, the researcher used multiple linear regression tests.  Results of the study showed there is the influence of empowerment through contingency planning approach can improve preparedness efforts with α value (0.000). Percentages before and after the intervention can significantly improve the precursor factor increase (36.67%), intention formation (43.33%), and preparation (42.00%). In addition, intention formation factor is the most influential factor in preparedness efforts with β value (0,531). This study concluded that the empowerment through contingency planning approach can improve preparedness efforts of adolescence group to the threat of death from disaster. So it is recommended for all disaster activists to empower adolescents with contingency planning in an effort to increase preparedness against death threats Keywords: adolescent preparedness, contingency planning, disaster preparedness

Drought is a pervasive natural hazard, even in relatively water rich areas such as the Province of Ontario, Canada. A common response to drought in many jurisdictions has been crisis management, especially involving drought relief during or after a drought event. Proactive drought contingency planning, which takes a risk management approach to reduce vulnerability, is much more appropriate. Unfortunately, the extent to which local communities have the capacity to participate effectively in this activity is highly variable. This paper explores factors that facilitate and constrain locally led drought contingency planning and highlights several that relate to management capacity, or the ability of local actors to accomplish their objectives and participate effectively in implementing appropriate drought responses. Drought planning experiences in Australia and the United States are used to frame an evaluation of Ontario's new drought contingency planning approach. We conclude that while Ontario's approach has many desirable features (e.g. organized around watersheds; locally driven), it also has several shortcomings, relating especially to the way in which droughts are understood, coordination of roles and responsibilities and community disempowerment during severe droughts.

Financial Planning and Forecasting is the estimation of value of a variable or set of variables at some future point. A Financial forecasting exercise is usually carried out in order to provide an aid to decision – making and planning of any line of business for future developments. This paper focuses insurance segments and tailored all the key areas of attention are such as assets, liabilities, marketing, human resources, expenditures, digitalization and technology inclusion, etc., all in one term called as wealth maximization. Financial planning and forecasting represents a blueprint of what a firm proposes to do in the future. So, naturally planning over such horizon tends to be fairly in aggregative terms. We need to focus on common elements which include economic assumptions, target forecast, proforma statements, asset requirements and the mode of financing the investments and so on. A financial plan can also be an investment plan, which allocates savings to various assets or projects expected to produce future income, such as a new business or product line, shares in an existing business. Financial forecast and financial plan can also refer to an annual projection of income and expenses for a company, division or department. This can also be an estimation of cash needs and a decision on how to raise the funds, such as through borrowing or issuing additional shares in a company. Forecasting is also used by outsiders to value companies and their securities. This is the aggregative perspective of the whole firm, rather than looking at individual projects. Growth is a key theme behind financial forecasting, so growth should not be the underlying goal of corporation – creating shareholder value is enabled through corporate growth.

And Performance

The dynamic nature of business operating environment has called on business leaders to be strategic in their leadership roles if they are to sustain their competitiveness into the unforeseen future. Growth is important in Sacco’s because it is future oriented establishing ways in which the organizational operations can be aligned to future changes in the business environment to ensure that competitiveness is sustained. The SACCOs in Kenya have experienced problems in the past; some even shutting down therefore there is need for customer growth to be enhanced so as to increase their incomes so as to sustain the business. These SACCOs have to look for leaders and managers who can develop future targets, direct and lead other staffs towards meeting the firm’s objective and gaining a competitive edge. The aim of this study was an assessment of corporate growth strategies and performance in savings and cooperative societies in Kenya, Nairobi County. The study sought to determine the influence of market expansion, diversification strategies and acquisition strategies. The study target population was 41 licensed SACCOs in Nairobi County. The study used primary data to collect information, and the data collection instrument was a questionnaire which was given to the 41 operations managers in the 41 selected SACCOs. The data collection procedure was done by the researcher and drop-and-pick strategy will be applied. The data was coded and keyed in Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS Version 23.0), and was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. For descriptive statistics was through mean scores, standard deviations, frequencies and percentages, while the inferential statistics was through regression analysis to establish the relationship between strategic leadership and customer growth. The findings were presented in tables and charts for easy understanding, interpreting, and describing the data. The study established that market expansion, diversification strategies and acquisition strategies as corporate growth strategies had a positive and significant effect on the performance of SACCOs in Nairobi City County. The study concluded that the SACCOs significantly employed market expansion strategies through improved branch network, customer base enhancement, new distribution channels and technological innovation. The study concluded that the SACCOs embraced a hybrid of the main diversification strategies, diverse products and services significantly. It was concluded that to a little extent the selected SACCOs in Nairobi City County have employed acquisition as a corporate growth strategy. The study recommends that the SACCOs should embrace integrate technology in the implementation of corporate growth strategies to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.  Further studies should be undertaken to establish the effect of corporate growth strategies on the performance of other SACCOs in other regions to establish the disparities or similarities among the financial sector players.
