English to French: Annual Report - Disaster management General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Business/Commerce (general)
Source text - English Preparing Communities for the Next Disaster The people of the remote communities of Santa Cecilia, Costa Rica were unprepared for potential natural disasters. Realizing the perilous situation this created for residents of the region, the Costa Rican government and private sector collaborated to train residents and equip them with resources to respond. This multi-sector effort—which included the National Commission for Risk and Emergency Management, the American Chamber of Commerce of Costa Rica, and others—improved infrastructure, developed an emergency plan for three communities, provided training, ran drills, and provided basic search and rescue equipment. The endeavor leveraged resources worth more than $220,000. “This project can be a model for the rest of the country,” says Flora Gutierrez, manager of the San Jose, Costa Rica, office of Del Oro, S.A. “For the first time there is a synergy between the private sector, the community, and the country’s main organization responsible for disaster response.” The Costa Rican model of disaster mitigation is highlighted in PADF‘s publication “Profiles of Success: Involving the Private Sector in Disaster Management.” Released in January 2008, the document provides six case studies of how the private sector supports the improvement of readiness and protocol and highlights how corporate citizenship can help governments become better prepared. The World Bank sponsored the publication. Throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, natural disasters disrupt businesses, cripple nations, and result in the loss of life and property. Statistics on the regional impact of natural disasters demonstrate why preparedness and mitigation is so important: • Ten of the top 20 countries that suffer from high human and economic losses due to disasters are in Latin America and the Caribbean. • 40% of all businesses closed by a disaster never reopen. Another 25% try and fail within a year. • Every dollar spent on disaster mitigation saves society $4. •¬ From 1975 to 2002, the estimated losses from natural disasters in the region were about $92 billion—an annual average of $3.4 billion. To help address this issue, PADF created the Disaster Management Alliance (DMA) in 2003. The DMA is an initiative of PADF and the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) of the U.S. Agency for International Development, which is the primary donor. Other partners include the Association of American Chambers of Commerce in Latin America (AACCLA) and the Association of Contingency Planners. The DMA team organized a multi-national conference in El Salvador in July to discuss mitigation, communications, legal barriers, and other issues related to natural disasters, bringing together business, government, and non-governmental organizations to share experiences and best practices. The DMA also provides technical assistance to countries that want to create a disaster management and business continuity committee or to establish a disaster management protocol to structure private sector involvement. In Costa Rica, the American Chamber of Commerce’s Disaster Management and Business Continuity Committee was the first in the DMA to become self sustaining, offer training and other activities, establish its own website, and sign an agreement for collaboration with the country’s National Emergency Commission. PADF will build on the DMA’s success to continue to help prepare communities for future natural disasters. Article Quote: The DMA provides technical assistance to countries that want to create a disaster management and business continuity committee or to establish a disaster management protocol to structure private sector involvement.	Translation - French Préparer les Communautés au Prochain Désastre Les peuples des communautés isolées de Santa Cecilia au Costa Rica n’étaient pas préparés pour les désastres naturels potentiels. Le gouvernement du Costa Rica et le secteur privé ont réalisé la situation périlleuse que cela créait pour les résidents de la région et ont collaboré pour entraîner les résidents et les équiper avec les ressources nécessaires pour répondre. Cet effort multi-secteur —qui a inclus la Commission Nationale de Gestion du Risque et des Urgences, la Chambre Américaine du Commerce du Costa Rica, et d’autres— a amélioré l’infrastructure, développé un plan d’urgence pour trois communautés, offert de l’entraînement, effectué des exercices, et offert du matériel de recherche et de sauvetage. Des ressources d’une valeur de plus de 220000$ ont été réunies grâce à cette tentative. « Ce projet peut être un modèle pour le reste du pays », dit Flora Gutierrez, directrice du bureau de Del Oro à San José au Costa Rica. « Pour la première fois il y a synergie entre le secteur privé, la communauté, et la principale organisation du pays responsable de la réponse aux désastres ». La publication de la PADF « Profiles de Succès : Impliquer le Secteur Privé dans la Gestion de Désastres » met l’emphase sur le modèle Costa Ricain de mitigation des désastres. Paru en Janvier 2008, le document offre six études de cas où le secteur privé aide à améliorer la préparation et les protocoles, et souligne la façon dont la citoyenneté d'entreprises peut aider les gouvernements à être mieux préparés. La Banque Mondiale a sponsorisé la publication. Les catastrophes naturelles perturbent les affaires, paralysent des nations, et causent des pertes en vie et en propriété. Les statistiques concernant l’impact régional des catastrophes naturelles démontrent l’importance de la préparation et de la mitigation : • Dix des vingt pays qui souffrent le plus de pertes humaines et économiques à cause de désastres sont en Amérique Latine et aux Caraïbes. • 40% des entreprises fermées par un désastre ne rouvrent jamais, tandis que 25% essaie et échouent en une période d’un an. • Chaque dollar dépensé sur la mitigation de désastres en épargne quatre à la société. • De 1975 à 2002, les pertes estimées dues aux catastrophes naturellement dans la région étaient d’environ 92 milliards de dollars —soit environ 3,4 milliards de dollar par an. Pour aider à répondre à ce problème, la PADF a créé l’Alliance de Gestion des Désastres (DMA) en 2003. La DMA est une initiative de la PADF et du Bureau d’Assistance aux Désastres Etrangers de l’Agence Américaine pour le Développement International, qui est le donateur principal. Parmi les autres partenaires figurent l’Association des Chambres Américaines de Commerce en Amérique Latine (AACCLA) et l’Association des Planificateurs d’Imprévu. L’équipe DMA organise une conférence multinationale à El Salvador en Juillet pour discuter de la mitigation, des communications, des barrières légales, et d’autres sujets reliés aux catastrophes naturelles, réunissant ainsi les entreprises, le gouvernement et les organisations non gouvernementales pour partager leurs expériences et meilleures pratiques. La DMA offre aussi de l’assistance technique aux pays qui veulent créer un comité de gestion de désastres et de continuation d’affaires ou qui veulent établir un protocole de gestion de désastres pour structurer la participation du secteur privé. Au Costa Rica, le Comité de Gestion de Désastres et de Continuation d’Affaires de la Chambre Américaine de Commerce a été la première de la DMA à s’auto-suffire, offrir de l’entraînement et d’autres activités, établir son propre site Internet, et signer un accord de collaboration avec la Commission d’Urgence Nationale du pays. La PADF construira sur le succès de la DMA pour continuer à aider à préparer les communautés pour les catastrophes naturelles futures. Citation d’Article: La DMA offre aussi de l’assistance technique aux pays qui veulent créer un comité de gestion de désastres et de continuation d’affaires ou qui veulent établir un protocole de gestion de désastres pour structurer la participation du secteur privé.

Source text - French Approche préliminaire L’approche préliminaire est constituée par une conversation d’ordre générale devant mettre l’interlocuteur en confiance. Celle-ci ne doit jamais aborder des aspects de la vie privée, ni des sujets d’ordre politiques ou confessionnels. Il doit se traduire par une apologie du site et de ses performances sans exagération toutefois et doit mener psychologiquement l’interlocuteur a un surcroît d’intérêt tout en résorbant ses appréhensions et craintes. Un aperçu du marché devant démontrer le nombre limité de surfaces locatifs intéressantes disponibles sur le marché et entraîner psychologiquement chez l’interlocuteur l’absence de choix et la nécessité conséquente de profiter d’une opportunité offerte Exprimer toujours le regret de ne pas disposer d’espaces vacants par suite d’une demande soutenue. L’informer également d’une façon imperceptible et avec une certaine nonchalance que les prix de location du site sont élevés par rapport a d’autres sites sans entrer dans le vif du sujet qui est constitué par le moment qui suit. Formuler des demandes d’information sur l’enseigne ou la marque et dans ce cas précis ne jamais montrer un vif intérêt pour l’enseigne ou la marque même si ces dernières sont intéressants mais au contraire, quelque soit le cas, exprimer toujours de la perplexité et une hésitation sur la qualité de l’enseigne mais sans exagération. Paraître en fin de discussion convaincu de l’enseigne et l’informer qu’une priorité pourrait être donnée ce qui lui donnera l’impression d’être parmi les rares élus et facilitera pour autant l’étape décisive suivante.	Translation - English Preliminary approach The preliminary approach consists of a general discussion aimed at gaining the interlocutor’s trust. It must never deal with private life, or political or religious subjects. It must promote the site and its performances (without exaggerating however) and psychologically increase the interlocutor’s interest while calming his apprehensions and fears. A market overview must underline the limited number of interesting location spaces available on the market, and psychologically lead the interlocutor to feel he has no other choice and thus needs to benefit from the available opportunity. Always express regret over not having vacant spaces in response to a sustained demand. Also imperceptibly and casually inform him that the site’s rents are elevated compared to other sites without entering the main subject which makes up the next moment. Ask for more information about the brand, and in this specific case never display much interest in any of them, no matter how interesting they are. On the contrary, no matter the case, always express perplexity and hesitation about the brand’s quality, without exaggerating. At the end of the discussion, seem convinced about the brand and inform the interlocutor that priority could be given to it, which will make him feel he is among the chosen few and will make the next step easier.

Source text - French EMBOLISATION DE MAVc INDICATION Patient porteur d’une malformation artério-veineuse précentrale gauche traitée par embolisation et radiochirurgie en 2005. Visualisation sur l’angiographie contrôle de 2007 d’une ectasie veineuse non visualisée auparavant. Décision d’un traitement endovasculaire ciblé. TECHNIQUE Anesthésie générale, intubation trachéale et ventilation assistée. Mise en place d’un introducteur 5 F à valve dans l’artère fémorale droite. Cathétérisme à l’aide d’un cathéter porteur 5 F de l’artère carotide interne droite. Instauration d’une héparinothérapie en bolus. RESULTAT Le bilan angiographique initial retrouve l’ectasie veineuse sur le compartiment alimenté par l’artère cérébrale antérieure gauche, sans modification par rapport à l’angiographie datant d’il y a environ une semaine. On cathéterise successivement a l’aide d’un microcathéter Magic 1.2 F M les afférences péri-calleuse et callosomarginale alimentant le compartiment nidal se drainant dans la veine qui porte cette ectasie quelques centimètres après son origine. Ces deux compartiments vont être embolisés a l’aide d’un mélange Glubran – Lipiodol diluée à 0,5 – 1 (30%). Au terme de ces deux embolisations il existe une dévascularisation satisfaisante de compartiment nidal avec une veine restant perméable mais une stagnation franche de l’ectasie. Il est survenu d’un petit passage veineux venant se bloquer à proximité de l’abouchement sinusien sagittal supérieur de la veine principale mais sans compromission du drainage global de la malformation.	Translation - English PAVM EMBOLIZATION INDICATION Patient suffering from a left precentral arteriovenous malformation treated with embolization and radiochirurgy in 2005. Visualization on angiographic control in 2007 of a previously unnoticed venous ectasia. Decision to undergo a targeted endovascular treatment. TECHNIQUE General anesthesia, tracheal intubation and assisted ventilation. Placement of a 5 F valve introducer in the right arteria femoralis. Catheterization using a 5 F porteur catheter of the right arteria carotis interna. Instauration of a heparin bolus therapy. RESULT The initial angiographic result shows the venous ectasia on the compartment fed by the left arteria cerebri anterior, no different from the one-week old angiography. Using a Magic 1.2 F M microcatheter, we successively catheterize the pericallous and callosomarginal afferences feeding the nidal compartment, draining in the vein holding the ecasis a few centimeters after its origin. Those two compartments will be embolized using a Glubran – Lipidol mixture diluted at 0,5 – 1 (30%). At the end of those two embolizations is a satisfactory devascularization of the nidal compartment with one vein remaining permeable but no evident blood flow in the ectasia. It set in from a small venous passage blocked near the superior sinusian sagittal anastomosis of the principal vein, but without compromising the malformation’s global drainage.

Voir Annexe 8 pour un schéma de principe. 2.2.6. Implantation des équipements et lay-out Les préchauffeurs, la bâche à condensats et les pompes de renvoi des condensats seront installés dans le bâtiment G17, dans une charpente commune. Celle-ci sera installée sur le socle existant initialement prévu pour une troisième chaudière auxiliaire (voir Annexe 7). Ce socle sera éventuellement adapté en fonction de la configuration définitive des équipements. Des échelles ou escaliers devront être installés sur cette charpente afin de donner accès aux équipements. La ligne vapeur BP sera placée sur les structures existantes dans le bâtiment B72 et sur les pipe racks existants entre les bâtiments B72 et G17. A l’intérieur de G17, les tuyauteries vapeurs (vapeur BP et vapeur auxiliaire) seront installées sur les structures existantes. Les pipe racks et structures métalliques existants seront renforcés et/ou étendus. Toutes les vannes et instruments seront accessibles depuis des plateformes existantes ou nouvelles. Les tuyauteries d’eau chaude rentreront et sortiront du bâtiment G17 à travers la façade Ouest (une pose souterraine à partir du bâtiment G17 sera prévue si l’encombrement existant dans le sol le permet) et traverseront ensuite la route entre G17 et le talus. Elles seront placées dans des tranchées jusqu’à la limite de fourniture (station de pompage). Dans le bâtiment G17, elles seront supportées par les structures existantes. La tuyauterie de renvoi des condensats vers la bâche alimentaire principale (LAA) suivra le même tracé que celui de la vapeur BP. Celle vers la bâche alimentaire auxiliaire sera suspendue aux structures existantes du G17.

See Annex 8 for a representative figure. 2.2.6 Equipment installation and lay-out The preheaters, the condensate tank and the condensate return pipes will be installed in building G17, on a common base. It will be installed on the previously existing base which was meant for a third auxiliary boiler (see Annex 7). This base will eventually be adapted according to the equipment’s final configuration. Ladders or stairs will be installed on this base to provide access to the equipment. The BP vapor line will be placed on the existing structures in building B72 and on the existing pipe racks between buildings B72 and G17. Inside G17, the steam piping (BP steam and auxiliary steam) will be installed on the existing structures. The pipe racks and existing metallic structures will be reinforced and/or extended. Access to all valves and instruments will be guaranteed by existing or new platforms. Warm water piping will go in and out of building G17 through the Western façade (an underground installation starting from building G17 will be considered in case underground constructions allow for it) across the road between G17 and the slope. They will then be placed in trenches until supply limits are attained (pumping station). The condensate return piping towards the main food-grade tank (LAA) will follow the same path as the BP steam. The one towards the auxiliary food-grade tank will be suspended to G17’s existing structures.
