ABSTRACT a Preliminary Natural Hazards Vulnerability Assessment
1 ABSTRACT A Preliminary Natural Hazards Vulnerability Assessment of the Norman Manley International Airport and its Access Route Kevin Patrick Douglas M.Sc. in Disaster Management The University of the West Indies 2011 The issue of disaster risk reduction through proper assessment of vulnerability has emerged as a pillar of disaster management, a paradigm shift from simply responding to disasters after they have occurred. The assessment of vulnerability is important for countries desiring to maintain sustainable economies, as disasters have the potential to disrupt their economic growth and the lives of thousands of people. This study is a preliminary assessment of the hazard vulnerabilities the Norman Manley International Airport (NMIA) in Kingston Jamaica and its Access Route, as these play an important developmental role in the Jamaican society. The Research involves an analysis of the hazard history of the area along with the location and structural vulnerabilities of critical facilities. Finally, the mitigation measures in place for the identified hazards are assessed and recommendations made to increase the resilience of the facility. The findings of the research show that the NMIA and its access route are mostly vulnerable to earthquakes, hurricanes with flooding from storm surges, wind damage and sea level rise based 2 on their location and structure. The major mitigation measures involved the raising of the Access Route from Harbour View Roundabout to the NMIA and implementation of structural protective barriers as well as various engineering design specifications of the NMIA facility. Also, the implementation of structural mitigation measures may be of limited success, if hazard strikes exceed the magnitude which they are designed to withstand. -
