NIST to Digital Forensics Experts: Show Us
What You Got
Digital forensics experts often extract data from computers and
mobile phones that may contain evidence of a crime. Now, researchers at the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will conduct the first
large-scale study to measure how well those experts do their job. But rather
than testing the proficiency of individual experts, the study aims to measure
the performance of the digital forensics community overall.
In this study, to be conducted online, participants will examine
simulated digital evidence, then answer questions that might arise in a real
criminal investigation. The exercise should take about two hours, and
participation is voluntary. Enrollment is now open, and the online test will
be available for approximately three months.

Development Goals

The webinar will examine
how national responses are reducing the impacts of COVID-19, especially
socio-economic impacts, to sustain the gains realized on the 2030 Agenda. It
will also showcase how national responses can achieve synergies to accelerate a
resilient recovery for the SDGs in the Decade of Action. It will discuss the
road ahead to 2030 and how current government responses can integrate disaster
risk reduction measures that respond to double or triple challenges many now
face as a result of climate change and COVID-19 socio-economic impacts.

- UNDRR Americas and the Caribbean Webinar:
Climate Change and Resilience in Times of COVID-19: How to Articulate Integrated Responses to the Health, Economic and Climate Crisis in LAC (Spanish-English interpretation available) – Register here
10:00 (Panama) - UNDRR Americas and the Caribbean Webinar: Climate Change and
Resilience in Times of COVID-19: How
to Articulate Integrated Responses to the Health, Economic and Climate
Crisis in LAC (Spanish-English
interpretation available)
- In the
context of increasing complexity, interdependence and systemic nature of
risk, there is a need for multi-sectoral, multi-stakeholder and regional
coordination aiming to continue the preparation and implementation of mitigation
actions for different recurrent and latent hazards in the current pandemic
scenario. This webinar will explore risk reduction and resilience building
at the heart of economic recovery (an opportunity to address inequalities
and vulnerabilities).

Webinar Disaster Risk Management and Institutional Response to the COVID-19 Crisis | Los Sistemas Nacionales de Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres en el contexto de la crisis del COVID-19 (Spanish-English interpretation available) – Register here
11:00 (Panama) - National
risk and emergency management systems in the Americas and Caribbean are
engaging in different ways and adopting different commitments in the
governance of the current COVID 19 crisis. This approach has been neither
planned nor foreseen and has been uneven in many ways: from countries
where the Systems have played an important role, to countries where they
have had virtually no intervention. The emergency or disaster laws of many
countries have been the foundation for actions taken during and after the
emergency.

Cities of the Americas and the Caribbean Facing COVID-19: Resilient Cities | Reflexiones sobre el futuro de las ciudades en las Américas y el Caribe. Sesión 4, Ciudades Resilientes (in Spanish) - The
multidimensional impact of COVID-19 threatens the development progress
achieved under Agenda 2030. The scenario of a major economic contraction
could plunge nearly 28 million people in the region into poverty as a
result of impacts on the economy and creative industries, among others. It
is in this scenario where, from the understanding of systemic risk, it
becomes necessary to rethink the cities of the future we want.
