Michael Walsh John Pratt, Mayor of Waterford City and County CEO Waterford City and County Council 4 Executive Summary Climate Change and Adaptation Background Climate change impacts are already being felt globally and academic research has highlighted that climate change trends being observed worldwide are expected to intensify in the coming decades. The most likely risks to Waterford/Ireland are, but not restricted to, extremes in weather events such as increasing precipitation levels, more intensive storms, heatwaves, coldwaves and periods of increasingly heavier snowfalls. These extreme events and other effects from change climate such as rising sea levels will create many new and difficult challenges which will be faced by Waterford City and County Council and the communities that WCCC serve. Climate Change requires a policy response in both: Adaptation to ensure communities, and society as a whole, become resilient to the impacts and risks of climate change. Mitigation to considerably reduce greenhouse gas emissions. (This item will be covered in other policy documents and not this “Adaptation Strategy”). Reference and guidance was taken in the preparation of this document from the “Local Authority Adaptation Strategy Development

  • Notable Tropical Cyclones and Unusual Areas of Tropical Cyclone Formation
    A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land.[1] The EU Floods directive defines a flood as a temporary covering by water of land not normally covered by water.[2] In the sense of "flowing water", the word may also be applied to the inflow of the tide. Flooding may result from the volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake, which overflows or breaks levees, with the result that some of the water escapes its usual boundaries.[3] While the size of a lake or other body of water will vary with seasonal changes in precipitation and snow melt, it is not a significant flood unless such escapes of water endanger land areas used by man like a village, city or other inhabited area. Floods can also occur in rivers, when flow exceeds the capacity of the river channel, particularly at bends or meanders. Floods often cause damage to homes and businesses if they are placed in natural flood plains of rivers. While flood damage can be virtually eliminated by moving away from rivers and other bodies of water, since time out of mind, people have lived and worked by the water to seek sustenance and capitalize on the gains of cheap and easy travel and commerce by being near water. That humans continue to inhabit areas threatened by flood damage is evidence that the perceived value of living near the water exceeds the cost of repeated periodic flooding. The word "flood" comes from the Old English flod, a word common to Germanic languages (compare German Flut, Dutch vloed from the same root as is seen in flow, float; also compare with Latin fluctus, flumen).

FRANNY'S CANDIES “I roll the Kettledrum candy in my mouth.” Franny pictures herself chewing on Boston Fruit Slices and her jaw flexes automatically. “Chewy wedges taste lemon and lime and go BOOM-bah-BOOM when I bite into one.” She adds, “When I unwrap a second Kettledrum out of its tight parchment, I examine the sour and sugar-copper rind. They are better enjoyed in pairs. Tomás, why aren’t Kettledrum candies hard? Like Lifesavers or Butterscotches? When they clink against your teeth, they could sound like a snare or a top hat. I can hear a soft bass rumble a tympani symphony deep within me. I swear, the Kettledrums make my voice go baritone when I sing BOOM-bah-BOOM after eating one. It’s true: I’ve tried it!” Franny confesses this to me under her gummy-bear breath and I agree unconditionally the way a best friend must. We come here because most of her schoolmates do not make their way down the block to Doña Dolce.

  • Risk Nexus | After the Storm: How the UK's Flood Defences Performed
    Risk Nexus After the storm: how the UK’s flood defences performed during the surge following Xaver Flood resilience review 09.14 As part of Zurich’s flood resilience programme, the Post Event Review Capability (PERC) provides research and independent reviews of large flood events. It seeks to answer questions related to aspects of flood resilience, flood risk management and catastrophe intervention. It looks at what has worked well (identifying best practice) and opportunities for further improvements. Since 2013, PERC has analysed various flood events. It has engaged in dialogue with relevant authorities, and is consolidating the knowledge it has gained to make this available to all those interested in progress on flood risk management.

  • Chapter 22 100 Years of Progress in Applied Meteorology. Part I: Basic Applications
    CHAPTER 22 HAUPT ET AL. 22.1 Chapter 22 100 Years of Progress in Applied Meteorology. Part I: Basic Applications SUE ELLEN HAUPT National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado ROBERT M. RAUBER University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, Urbana, Illinois BRUCE CARMICHAEL AND JASON C. KNIEVEL National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado JAMES L. COGAN U.S. Army Research Laboratory, Adelphi, Maryland ABSTRACT The field of atmospheric science has been enhanced by its long-standing collaboration with entities with specific needs. This chapter and the two subsequent ones describe how applications have worked to advance the science at the same time that the science has served the needs of society. This chapter briefly reviews the synergy between the applications and advancing the science. It specifically describes progress in weather modification, aviation weather, and applications for security. Each of these applications has resulted in en- hanced understanding of the physics and dynamics of the atmosphere, new and improved observing equip- ment, better models, and a push for greater computing power. 1. Introduction (such as space weather and fire weather) and employing new tools (such as artificial intelligence) to approach our This American Meteorological Society (AMS) 100th- problems. anniversary monograph reviews much of the progress in Walter Orr Roberts, the first director of the National many disciplines of atmospheric science. Basic research Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) stated, ‘‘I feeds applications. But the applications themselves also have a very strong feeling that science exists to serve demand additional research balanced on the cutting human betterment and improve human welfare’’ (NCAR edge of the application and the science on which it is 2018).

  • 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).
