National Drought Policy Commission
The National Drought Policy Commission was created by the United States National Drought Policy Act of 1998, to conduct a study of current federal, state, local and tribal drought preparedness, and review laws and programs to determine if deficiencies exist in current relief policies and resources.

Preparedness
Preparedness is a set of actions that are taken as precautionary measures in the face of potential disasters. Being prepared helps in achieving goals and in avoiding and mitigating negative outcomes.

There are different types of preparedness, such as public health preparedness and local emergency preparedness or snow preparedness, but probably the most developed type is "disaster preparedness", defined by the United Nations as involving "forecasting and taking precautionary measures before an imminent threat when warnings are possible". This includes not only natural disasters, but all kinds of severe damage caused in a relatively short period, including warfare.

Preparedness is a major phase of emergency management, and is particularly valued in areas of competition such as sport, military science and SRF cryomodule assembly.

Methods of preparation include research, estimation, planning, resourcing, education, practicing, and rehearsing.

In 1887 he collected mycological and botanical specimens in Venezuela; mainly in the vicinity of Puerto Ayacucho and places along the Orinoco River, journeying as far as San Fernando de Atabapo. In Colombia, he collected specimens along the Rio Guaviare, a tributary of the Orinoco.

The French Academy of Sciences awarded the 1893 "Prix Montague" to Gaillard for his work on fungi.

The genus Gaillardiella (family Nitschkiaceae) was named in his honor by Narcisse Théophile Patouillard in 1895.

Puerto Ayacucho (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpweɾto aʝaˈkutʃo]) is the capital and largest city of Amazonas State in Venezuela.  Puerto Ayacucho is located across the Orinoco River from the Colombian village of Casuarito.

Princess Point complex
The Princess Point complex (also called the Princess Point culture) is an archaeological culture of the Middle to Late Woodland period of northeastern North America.

The complex marked a transition between the latter part of the Middle Woodland period and the early Late Woodland period. One date estimate places the time period of the Princess Point complex as lasting from around 500 CE to around 1000 CE. It later developed into the Glen Meyer culture.

Named for its type site at Princess Point near modern-day Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, the complex was present in the area between the Grand River and the Niagara Peninsula.

It is characterized by a horticultural economy, including the cultivation of maize, as well as aspects of sedentism. It was originally conceptualized by the archaeologist David Marvyn Stothers.

Sedentism
In anthropology, sedentism (sometimes called sedentariness; compare sedentarism) is the practice of living in one place for a long time. As of 2026, the large majority of people belong to sedentary cultures. In evolutionary anthropology and archaeology, sedentism takes on a slightly different sub-meaning, often applying to the transition from nomadic society to a lifestyle that involves remaining in one place permanently. Essentially, sedentism means living in groups permanently in one place. The invention of agriculture led to sedentism in many cases, but the earliest sedentary settlements were pre-agricultural.

Since 2018, she has been Professor of Medieval History at the University of Kent.

Her research is focused on the High Middle Ages (1200-1450 AD), and includes the papacy, canon law, the Crusades, and the history of the Christian Military Orders.

In 2022, Bombi was elected a Fellow of the British Academy (FBA), the United Kingdom's national academy for the humanities and social sciences.

Church history
Church history or ecclesiastical history as an academic discipline studies the history of Christianity and the way the Christian Church has developed since its inception.

Henry Melvill Gwatkin defined church history as "the spiritual side of the history of civilized people ever since our Master's coming". A. M. Renwick, however, defines it as an account of the Church's success and failure in carrying out Christ's Great Commission. Renwick suggests a fourfold division of church history into missionary activity, church organization, doctrine and "the effect on human life".

Church history is often, but not always, studied from a Christian perspective. Writers from different Christian traditions will often highlight people and events particularly relevant to their own denominational history. Catholic and Orthodox writers often highlight the achievements of the ecumenical councils, while evangelical historians may focus on the Protestant Reformation and the Great Awakenings.
