Risk Assessment: Hazard Profiles This Working Draft Submittal is a preliminary draft document and is not to be used as the basis for final design, construction or remedial action, or as a basis for major capital decisions. Please be advised that this document and associated deliverables have not undergone internal reviews by URS. SECTION 3a - RISK ASSESSMENT: HAZARD PROFILES SECTION 3a- RISK ASSESSMENT: HAZARD PROFILES Overview Detailed profiles of hazards identified in the previous section as worthy of further evaluation in the overall risk assessment are provided in this section. Each hazard profile includes a description of the hazard and its causes and impacts, the location and extent of areas subject to the hazard, known historical occurrences, and the probability of future occurrences. The profiles also include specific information noted by members of the planning committee and other stakeholders, including unique observations or relevant anecdotal information regarding individual historical hazard occurrences and individual jurisdictions. The following table summarizes each hazard, and whether or not it has been identified as a hazard worthy of further evaluation for each of the 22 municipal jurisdictions in the County. Following Table 3a.1, Figure 3a.1 presents a map of Rensselaer County for reference, including the most significant transport links and the location and boundaries of each participating jurisdiction.

SECTION 3a - RISK ASSESSMENT: HAZARD PROFILES Extreme Temperatures Extreme temperatures principally affect the health and safety of the human population, although they can also impact livestock, agricultural crops, and may also cause damage to infrastructure and property. This section provides detailed profiles of both extreme high and extreme low temperatures. Description – Extreme Temperatures Extreme Cold According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS), the term “extreme cold” constitutes different conditions in different parts of the country, ranging from near freezing in the South to temperatures well below zero in the North. In the South, temperatures near or just below freezing can cause pipes to burst in homes that are poorly insulated or without heat. In the North, where most buildings are insulated to a degree that can protect against most common winter temperatures for the area, long spells of below zero temperatures can result in increased numbers of people using space heaters and fireplaces to stay warm, thus increasing the risk of household fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. In addition, extreme cold can cause rivers to freeze, and ice jams to form, leading to flooding. Regardless of location, freezing temperatures can cause severe damage to crops and other vegetation; increased strain on community shelter facilities providing refuge from the cold to homeless populations and others in need; and an increased likelihood that automobiles/buses will fail to start. Local sources also report that fire departments are called to a noticeably higher number of chimney fires during periods of extreme cold. Extreme cold can have severe negative impacts on human beings, including frostbite (an injury to the body that is caused by freezing) and hypothermia (the unintentional lowering of the body’s core temperature to below 95 degrees Fahrenheit, which typically causes uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, slurred speech, drowsiness, and apparent exhaustion). The NWS reports that extreme cold causes the death of roughly 26 people per year nationwide (based on a 10-year average). High winds during a period of extreme cold can exacerbate these affects, as the winds work to carry heat away from the body. According to the New York State Climate Office, extreme cold events in New York State occur regularly, and are most common between October and March. They are most likely to occur in the northern and western portions of the state, and occur less often as one travels south toward New York City and Long Island. The record coldest temperature in New York State is -52° at Stillwater Reservoir (northern Herkimer County) on February 9, 1934 and also at Old Forge (also northern Herkimer County) on February 18, 1979. Some 30 communities have recorded temperatures of -40° or colder, most of them occurring in the northern one-half of the state and the remainder in the Western Plateau Division and in localities just south of the Mohawk Valley. Extreme Heat FEMA defines the term “extreme heat” as the condition whereby temperatures hover ten degrees or more above the average high temperature for a region, and last for several weeks. Extreme heat can also contribute to increased demand on energy supplies resulting from increased air conditioning usage, and an associated increased potential for power shortages or outages; an increased demand on medical offices, hospitals, etc. as individuals suffering from various heat related health effects seek medical attention or shelter in air conditioned facilities; and also crop losses under certain circumstances.

Please be advised that this document and associated deliverables have not undergone internal reviews by URS. SECTION 3a - RISK ASSESSMENT: HAZARD PROFILES Some Core Planning Group members expressed concerns about the potential effects of power outages triggered by extreme temperature events, noting the vulnerability of critical facilities such as senior living centers, sewage treatment plants, and water treatment facilities (including public water supply well sites and pump stations). The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS) has reported that heat waves occur during most summers in at least some part(s) of North America. East of the Rocky Mountains, high temperatures are often combined with high humidity. Highest temperatures of record and average relative humidity would

  • Hurricane & Tropical Storm
    5.8 HURRICANE & TROPICAL STORM SECTION 5.8 HURRICANE AND TROPICAL STORM 5.8.1 HAZARD DESCRIPTION A tropical cyclone is a rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or sub-tropical waters and has a closed low-level circulation. Tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes are all considered tropical cyclones. These storms rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere around the center and are accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds (NOAA, 2013). Almost all tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic basin (which includes the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea) form between June 1 and November 30 (hurricane season). August and September are peak months for hurricane development. The average wind speeds for tropical storms and hurricanes are listed below: . A tropical depression has a maximum sustained wind speeds of 38 miles per hour (mph) or less . A tropical storm has maximum sustained wind speeds of 39 to 73 mph . A hurricane has maximum sustained wind speeds of 74 mph or higher. In the western North Pacific, hurricanes are called typhoons; similar storms in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean are called cyclones. A major hurricane has maximum sustained wind speeds of 111 mph or higher (NOAA, 2013). Over a two-year period, the United States coastline is struck by an average of three hurricanes, one of which is classified as a major hurricane. Hurricanes, tropical storms, and tropical depressions may pose a threat to life and property. These storms bring heavy rain, storm surge and flooding (NOAA, 2013). The cooler waters off the coast of New Jersey can serve to diminish the energy of storms that have traveled up the eastern seaboard.

  • Appendices Section
    APPENDIX 1. A Selection of Biodiversity Conservation Agencies & Programs A variety of state agencies and programs, in addition to the NY Natural Heritage Program, partner with OPRHP on biodiversity conservation and planning. This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory. Telephone: (518) 486-4845 Website: www.nysm.nysed.gov/bri/ NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION The Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) biodiversity conservation efforts are handled by a variety of offices with the department.

PASCH,JAMIE R. RHOME, AND STACY R. STEWART Tropical Prediction Center, NOAA/NWS/National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida (Manuscript received 2 November 2006, in final form 30 April 2007) ABSTRACT The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active of record. Twenty-eight storms occurred, includ- ing 27 tropical storms and one subtropical storm. Fifteen of the storms became hurricanes, and seven of these became major hurricanes. Additionally, there were two tropical depressions and one subtropical depression. Numerous records for single-season activity were set, including most storms, most hurricanes, and highest accumulated cyclone energy index. Five hurricanes and two tropical storms made landfall in the United States, including four major hurricanes. Eight other cyclones made landfall elsewhere in the basin, and five systems that did not make landfall nonetheless impacted land areas. The 2005 storms directly caused nearly 1700 deaths. This includes approximately 1500 in the United States from Hurricane Katrina— the deadliest U.S. hurricane since 1928. The storms also caused well over $100 billion in damages in the United States alone, making 2005 the costliest hurricane season of record. 1. Introduction intervals for all tropical and subtropical cyclones with intensities of 34 kt or greater; Bell et al. 2000), the 2005 By almost all standards of measure, the 2005 Atlantic season had a record value of about 256% of the long- hurricane season was the most active of record.

  • Why Is the Need for Finding Flood Level Elevations?
    Calculation of water surface elevation using HECRAS 4.1.0 for fixing tailrace elevation for powerhouse site in planned 37 MW Kabeli “A” Hydroelectric Project, Nepal April, 2012 6/25/2012 Surendra Raj Pathak Why is the need for finding flood level elevations? • To find out water surface elevations at different flood frequencies. • To find out design water level to safeguard all costly engineering structures from flood damage which is probable sometime in future. • To fix the tailwater elevation. As head (energy) relates to increase in revenue in hydroelectricity, small increment in head has a huge impact in overall project financial health in a long run. Earthwork excavation incurs huge part of powerhouse cost initially. There has to be optimized tailwater elevation by analyzing between increase in project revenue from head increment vs. initial earthwork excavation cost.

  • Hurricane Season04.Pub
    Carolina Sky Watcher NOAA has been issuing hurricane seasonal for the last six years and they have been very accurate. They are based on NOAA's Accumulated Cyclone Energy – or ACE –Index. The ACE index measures the collective strength and duration of tropical storms and hurricanes in a given region. It has proven to be highly predict- able and is a key forecast parameter for NOAA hurricane outlooks. National Weather Service, Newport, NC Vol. 11, Number 2 (#39) Jun 1, 2004 - Nov 30, 2004 For 2004, NOAA predicts an above normal hurricane season. The outlook calls for * 12-15 tropical storms * 6-8 becoming hurricanes – 2004 at least 74 mph winds * 2-4 becoming major Hurricane hurricanes (Categories 3- 5) – at least 115 mph winds.
