Wildfire Risk Prevention Methodology & Epistemology Volunteer
Prevention Derivatives draws upon other interventions (outcome based financing in social impact bonds, renewable energy based purchasing by performance, contractual taxation zones in business improvement districts, impact incentives, Advance Market Commitments, Proportionate Reinsurance, Insurance Linked Securities. We make the case for each component of prevention derivatives being secure/safe through literature review of these and other tools.
-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:
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:
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

It is especially designed for enabling young minds with ground realities and field-based in-depth knowledge through its action research projects concerning Primary Healthcare, status of women and youth in underprivileged section of the society.

Voltour Certificate Program aims to enhance the in-depth knowledge and leadership qualities of youth population and involving them in grassroot level activities to develop their effective contribution for achieving Sustainable Developmental Goals. It also envisions to create a community of young social reformers to bring a reformative change in the society by encouraging others to make a Chain of Changemakers.

Especially for working on Covid19 Pandemic situation that need urgent attention to support India

About the Cause
It can be clearly stated that this pandemic has affected the total population severely as it has disrupted everyday living & have risen other shadow pandemics such as unemployment economic downfall, poverty increement, hunger, violence against women and disasteraous healthcare infrastructure. It has made domestic workers & laborers groups most vulnerable as they lost their jobs due to not being allowed in residential colonies & at workplaces. Now these people are facing immense difficulties in feeding their family members especially those newborns who are not even getting milk from their mothers due to malnutrition.

Action

Since the pandemic began, Ladli Foundation has consistently been working at grassroots level through our relief activities by providing Dry Ration, Milk Supply, Sanitary Kits, Masks & Hand Wash to the Domestic & Migrant Laborers in the different slums of Delhi NCR. Till now we have benefitted more than 1 lakh families and are continuously working in the field with the support of local police for identifying the people who are in extreme need.
Humanity means to stand for the ones who are in dire need of support, and ultimately making them stable by consistent efforts in the time of crisis. We are seeking support to help those who were always with us in our good and bad. We invite you to join us in this noble cause as now is the time to help the marginalised workers in overcoming this difficult phase, and to serve mankind by doing humanitarian deeds.

Impact
The aim is to address the pressing concerns related to hunger and malnutrition that majorly affects the body's immune system required to battle covid 19 and other life-threatening diseases. Providing dry ration, milk for babies, and essential commodities will give immediate relief to laborers and domestic workers who have lost their jobs. It will also play a vital role in preventing them from getting involved in antisocial or criminal activities. Supporting the people in lower strata is always essential as it is directly connected to the society's overall well-being and peace to avoid unwanted situations like riots, robbery, mass killing, etc.
The most significant positive impact of this action is to give a ray of hope that society will help those in need to overcome these difficult times.

About Us
Driven by the upliftment of the underprivileged section, Ladli Foundation was established as a grassroots non-profit organization now in Special Consultative Status with United Nations, Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). With a mission of building an inclusive, gender sensitized society with equal access to essential healthcare and educational amenities, the foundation has been diligently working at pan India level and known for implementing highly impactful and innovative action research initiatives with its effective community outreach in urban and rural slums. Serving over 1 million direct beneficiaries, Ladli needs your support to continue serving underprivileged people and save young girls from clutches of trafficking to improve their conditions and dignity in life.
