Download Hurricanes Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Losses to hurricanes in the 1990s total more than those incurred in the 1970s and 1980s combined, even after adjusting for inflation. This has led many to mistakenly conclude that severe hurricanes are becoming more frequent. In fact, according to recent research, the past few decades have seen a decrease in the frequency of severe storms and 1991 to 1994 was the quietest in at least 50 years. It does mean, however, that the world today is more vulnerable to hurricane impacts than it has ever been, which represents a serious policy problem. This book defines and assesses the hurricane problem, focusing primarily on the United States, in order to lay a foundation for action. The concept of vulnerability is used to integrate the societal and physical aspects of hurricane impacts. The book is unique in that it seeks to address both the scientific and societal aspects of hurricanes. While it focuses on the United States, it is intended to illustrate weather related impacts assessment that could be applied in other areas, and for phenomena other than hurricanes. More broadly, this book seeks to illustrate the beneficial uses (as well as limitations) of hurricane science to society. Explicit consideration of the relationship between science and society is much needed in an era when scientific research is under public and political pressure to demonstrate a better connection with societal needs.

Download Guide to NOAA Response and Communication Protocols for Human Caused and Natural Disasters in the Great Lakes Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
"This Guide is designed to enhance coordination of NOAA's diverse expertise, services, and resources when responding to a Great Lakes natural or anthropogenic emergency that involves a threat or damage to human health or life, to property, or to the environment. This Guide addresses the following emergencies: 1) an oil spill, hazardous chemical release, or maritime accident; 2) a large-scale fire event; 2) a large-scale or high-impact weather event; or 4) a radiological release. For many emergencies, only one NOAA Line Office is needed to provide an effective response. When two or more NOAA Line Offices are involved in a large-scale event, however, clear and efficient communication and coordination are needed to simultaneously provide a high level of service and efficiently utilize NOAA's own expertise and resources"--Preface.
