Positive Risk Management/Opportunity Management Literature Reviewer, Wildfire Prevention CrowdDoing


Prevention Derivatives draws upon parametrics to build upstream parametrics. A literature review of parametrics that are relevant to upstream parametrics from the downstream parametric literature could be very helpful.
-Prevention derivatives is driven by the thesis that there is an under-valuation of passive risk (or the cost of inaction) and an under-prioritization of positive risk. Correspondingly for wildfires as an example, there is an under-recognition of the potential shared value upside of preventative action through social innovation and social interventions (such as goats & sheep that prevent wildfires). CrowdDoing.world's aim is to guarantee positive risk through leveraging existing liabilities to allow for the implications of prescriptive analytics to be financed. The under-pricing of passive risk means that liabilities are treated as either costs of doing business or un-predictable risks even for entirely preventable risks. Risk management offices have been too biased towards avoiding taking the wrong risks rather than ensuring that institutions make their own luck by seizing the abundant positive risk opportunities in social innovation. Meanwhile, the bias against positive risk leaves social innovations not to get adopted even if there would be remarkable benefits to all stakeholders if they were adopted

In the framework of Prevention Derivatives, we want to create a predictive machine learning (ML) model that for a given geographical region will estimate likely savings (losses) due-to protection (damages) of stakeholders’ properties, business profits, common health, and regional ecology resulting in applying risk prevention solutions (or doing nothing instead). Goal of these notes is to analyze ML model’s design, offer a potential improvement and to discuss existing approaches for data collection, and training and testing the model. It is important to notice that the model is applied to the entire selected or target region. Therefore, a geographical region R is the smallest unit we apply modeling to.
Data science will be utilized in the following ways:
Explore/Visualize data currently available on Wildfires
Identify trends and patterns in Historical data
Quantify historical losses in dollars based on property destruction, casualties, acres burnt, etc.
Build predictive models to identify areas of high wildfire risk based on factors such as weather, vegetation, topography, etc.
Visualization of Model outcomes
Scenario building (changing input variables and observing impact on outcome)
Tools - R, Python, MATLAB, SQL, PowerPoint
Knowledge or Interest in anyone or more:
Identify papers on Simulation of Wildfires, Catastrophe Modeling
Review and present Technical papers in a way that everyone can understand
Assist in Model development and testing by contributing in finding data and programming
Identify/Collect data relevant to wildfire Impact
Work cross-functionally
Traits:
Mathematically inclined, highly analytical, creative problem solver, can conduct analyses independently or with minimal supervision
Programming for Data Science
Mathematics
Statistics
Predictive Analytics
Prescriptive Analytics
Machine Learning - Supervised/Unsupervised learning
Artificial Intelligence
Data Mining
Computer Science
Monte Carlo Simulations
Expectations:

Habitat for Humanity ReStores are nonprofit home improvement stores and donation centers that sell new and gently used furniture, home accessories, building materials and appliances to the public at a fraction of the retail price. Habitat for Humanity ReStores are owned and operated by local Habitat for Humanity affiliates, and proceeds are used to build strength, stability and self-reliance locally and around the world. We are currently down in part time staff and we have a need to paint some interior walls. This will not only serve to improve the image of the building, but provide a basic level of protection for the brick underneath. We would also like this to lead to other construction related projects in the future, and we hope this can serve as an introduction to our ReStore and Dubois Habitat as a whole.

Each year the MA chapter of National Ovarian Cancer Coalition coordinates the Together in Teal Walk. This event brings the ovarian cancer community together, promotes awareness about the disease, and raises money for a cure. Our community is comprised of ovarian cancer survivors, caregivers, loved ones, and health care professionals. Each member is dedicated to increasing survival rates and improving the quality of life for women and families affected by ovarian cancer.

On September 25, 2021, we will unite virtually from coast to coast for our Together in Teal: Everywhere As One event. Participants will be encouraged to get moving however and wherever they feel comfortable, and tune in to a national broadcast celebration that evening. We are looking for companies who would like to to join us in our fight against ovarian cancer. You can make an impact by volunteering and having your company match your hours, forming a team, fundraising and asking your employer to match you donations and those of your co-workers as well.
