Temperatures rose into the upper 60's and low 70's in the Dakotas on April 1 and 2. A strong storm with a minimum central pressure of 28.8 inches of mercury (980 mb) pushed into the area on April 5, bringing colder temperatures and heavy amounts of precipitation. In Fargo, 1.39 inches of rain was reported on the 5th and a mixture of freezing rain and snow was reported on the 6th with 1.30 inches of total water equivalent. The ice storm caused almost $100 million in damage to the eastern Dakotas when 2 inches of ice accumulated within the region. Some areas in the western Dakotas reported as much as 24 inches of snow. Arctic air moved into the northern plains behind the storm, which dropped low temperatures below freezing. Much of the flooded area froze, hampering rescue and flood fighting activities. Only a few deaths and minor injuries were attributed to the flood. The Red River reached it’s highest level of 54 feet (26 feet above flood stage), on the 21st. Left: These utility poles were collapsed by high winds and the weight of 2 inches of ice. The Red River Basin was hit by more than 10 snowstorms during early 1996 and early 1997. These snowstorms increased the amount of available meltwater which contributed to the spring flood. The final winter storm of the season was a major ice storm on April 6. Note the ice coated utility wires. Photo by Dave Wallis Right: A burned out section of downtown Grand Forks which caught fire during the height of the flood.

  • Economic Inequality and Institutional Adaptation in Response to Flood Hazards: a Historical Analysis

    Economic Inequality and Institutional Adaptation in Response to Flood Hazards: a Historical Analysis

    Copyright © 2018 by the author(s). Published here under license by the Resilience Alliance. van Bavel, B., D. R. Curtis, and T. Soens. 2018. Economic inequality and institutional adaptation in response to flood hazards: a historical analysis. Ecology and Society 23(4):30. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-10491-230430 Research Economic inequality and institutional adaptation in response to flood hazards: a historical analysis Bas van Bavel 1, Daniel R. Curtis 2 and Tim Soens 3 ABSTRACT. To adequately respond to crises, adaptive governance is crucial, but sometimes institutional adaptation is constrained, even when a society is faced with acute hazards. We hypothesize that economic inequality, defined as unequal ownership of wealth and access to resources, crucially interacts with the way institutions function and are adapted or not. Because the time span for societal responses may be lengthy, we use the historical record as a laboratory to test our hypothesis. In doing so, we focus on floods and water management infrastructure. The test area is one where flood hazards were very evident—the Low Countries (present-day Netherlands and Belgium) in the premodern period (1300–1800)—and we employ comparative analysis of three regions within this geographical area. We draw two conclusions: first, both equitable and inequitable societies can demonstrate resilience in the face of floods, but only if the institutions employed to deal with the hazard are suited to the distributive context. Institutions must change parallel to any changes in inequality. Second, we show that institutional adaptation was not inevitable, but also sometimes failed to occur. Institutional adaptation was never inevitably triggered by stimulus of a hazard, but dependent on socio-political context.

    A Summary of Flooding Events in Boston

    1810 flooding (4-10 fatalities) - http://www.lincolnshirelive.co.uk/200-years-flood-end-floods/story-11195470-detail/story.html the text below from the website does mention Fishtoft and Fosdyke as areas that were affected: "AS many as 10 people may have died during the great flood of 1810, which engulfed the area in the pitch black of night and without warning. The total loss of life has only now been revealed, following research into archived material. Historian Hilary Healey has researched the incident and uncovered details of the deaths, which reveal the body count to be much more than the four believed to have perished. In Fosdyke, a servant girl of farmer Mr Birkett found herself surrounded by the sea in a pasture while milking cows and was washed away. Also in Fosdyke, an elderly woman in the course of the night was washed out of an upper window of her cottage and drowned. At Fishtoft, Mr Smith Jessop, a farmer's son, was drowned while trying to rescue some of his father's sheep. Accounts of the flood are few, but the Stamford Mercury recorded some inquests which may have been held at Boston court. These included a youth, William Green, about 16 years old, who drowned at Fishtoft, another unidentified boy, thought to have been from a fishing boat called the Amber Blay, and John Jackson and William Black, also from a wrecked vessel. Inquests were also held into the deaths of two women from Fosdyke, Esther Tunnard and Ann Burton, drowned by the flood inundating their cottages (one of them may have been the person referred to above).

Ratter a 4 a Institute of Coastal Research, Department of Human Dimensions of Coastal Areas, Helmholtz-Zentrum 5 Geesthacht, Max-Planck-Straße 1, 21502 Geesthacht, Germany. 6 Abstract 7 This work assesses the capacity of the German North Sea coast community, which has been hit 8 by several disastrous storm surge events in the past, to organise itself before, during, and after 9 storm surge events in order to minimise the impacts. By means of a survey-based method, we 10 explore stakeholders’ perception regarding the risk and emergency management processes, the 11 psychological and social factors conditioning the intention to prepare and collaborate, as well as 12 the feasibility of enhanced coordination and collaboration mechanisms at the community level. 13 Acknowledging past and ongoing successful initiatives in the study area, the method allows 14 identifying opportunities to foster preparedness and adaptation, such as an improved risk 15 communication strategy, mainstreaming and integrating risk reduction within and across 16 sectors, and the transition from basic participatory approaches based solely on information 17 provision towards full involvement and collaborative approaches.

    A Capitalist Escape from Disaster? Agrarian Capitalism and Coastal Floods in the Low Countries (13 Th -18 Th Centuries)

    A Capitalist Escape from Disaster? Agrarian Capitalism and coastal floods in the Low Countries (13 th -18 th centuries) Tim Soens, University of Antwerp (B) – University of Utrecht (NL) ([email protected] ; [email protected]) ERC Bas van Bavel: 'Coordinating for life. Success and failure of Western European societies in coping with rural hazards and disasters, 1300-1800' work in progress 1. Introduction: flood disasters and the rise of agrarian capitalism Medieval authors were fascinated by floods, and left us with a huge number of flood reports which since have been compiled in gazetteers (Gottschalk 1971-77, Buisman 1995-2006 and digital indices like www.tambora.org ). Their claims on damage and victims are largely unverifiable (Rheinheimer 2003), but seem supported by the huge number of deserted medieval villages and farms revealed by coastal archaeologists (Rippon 2000; Meier 2000). By the time more reliable data on damage, victims and economic output become available, flood disasters occurred less frequently and were less deadly. In the meanwhile most of the coastal marshlands had been transformed from ‘peasant’ societies of owner-occupied smallholders into regions of large-scale farming, mostly organized in capitalist social property relations, in which the access to labour, land and capital were market-dependent (Soens, Tys and Thoen 2014, for Southern England, see Dimmock 2014). Did flood disasters pave the road to agrarian capitalism in the North Sea Area? And did agrarian capitalism subsequently shape the social, economic and institutional conditions eventually leading towards an escape from disaster? In a recent article in Continuity and Change , Piet van Cruyningen (2014) argued that the history of flood disaster in pre-modern Zeeland (NL) might offer an example of the way agrarian capitalism could indeed produce a more resilient dealing with natural hazards, successfully avoiding most large-scale disasters and mitigating the impact of others.
