  • Chicago Wilderness Region Urban Forest Vulnerability Assessment
    United States Department of Agriculture CHICAGO WILDERNESS REGION URBAN FOREST VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT AND SYNTHESIS: A Report from the Urban Forestry Climate Change Response Framework Chicago Wilderness Pilot Project Forest Service Northern Research Station General Technical Report NRS-168 April 2017 ABSTRACT The urban forest of the Chicago Wilderness region, a 7-million-acre area covering portions of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, will face direct and indirect impacts from a changing climate over the 21st century. This assessment evaluates the vulnerability of urban trees and natural and developed landscapes within the Chicago Wilderness region to a range of future climates. We synthesized and summarized information on the contemporary landscape, provided information on past climate trends, and illustrated a range of projected future climates. We used this information to inform models of habitat suitability for trees native to the area. Projected shifts in plant hardiness and heat zones were used to understand how nonnative species and cultivars may tolerate future conditions. We also assessed the adaptability of planted and naturally occurring trees to stressors that may not be accounted for in habitat suitability models such as drought, flooding, wind damage, and air pollution. The summary of the contemporary landscape identifies major stressors currently threatening the urban forest of the Chicago Wilderness region. Major current threats to the region’s urban forest include invasive species, pests and disease, land-use change, development, and fragmentation. Observed trends in climate over the historical record from 1901 through 2011 show a temperature increase of 1 °F in the Chicago Wilderness region. Precipitation increased as well, especially during the summer.

  • Awareness of Coastal Disasters: Case of an Impoverished Low-Lying River Mouth Community in Southern Vietnam
    International Journal of DISASTER & MITIGATION Sustainable Future for Human Security DOI: 10.24910/jsustain/5.2/7785 J-SustaiN Vol. 5 No. 2 (2017) 77-85 http://www.j-sustain.com Awareness of Coastal 1. Introduction Vietnam is one of the most vulnerable countries against coastal Disasters: Case of an hazards, especially storm surges caused by tropical cyclones (TC). A storm surge is an increase in sea water levels brought about by high Impoverished Low-Lying River winds pushing on the ocean’s surface, combined with the effect of Mouth Community in low pressure at the centre of the typhoon. Despite a number of prominent events in the past decade, few people inside or outside Southern Vietnam of Vietnam realize the true vulnerability of the country against natural hazards, be it due to typhoons or the possibility of a distant a* b source tsunami reaching the country. There are multiple reasons Miguel Esteban , Hiroshi Takagi , Nguyen behind this relative lack of awareness to coastal hazards in c c Danh Thao , Tran Thu Tam , Doan Dinh Tuyet Vietnam. Basically, since typhoon Linda killed over 3,000 people in Trangc, Le Tuan Anhb, Ven Paolo Valenzuela 1997, no extreme coastal disasters have affected the country [1, 2].

  • Tuna Fishing and a Review of Payaos in the Philippines
    Session 1 - Regional syntheses Tuna fishing and a review of payaos in the Philippines Jonathan O. Dickson*1', Augusto C. Nativiclacl(2) (1) Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, 860 Arcadia Bldg., Quezon Avenue, Quezon City 3008, Philippines - [email protected] (2) Frabelle Fishing Company, 1051 North Bay Blvd., Navotas, Metro Manila, Philippines Abstract Payao is a traditional concept, which has been successfully commercialized to increase the landings of several species valuable to the country's export and local industries. It has become one of the most important developments in pelagic fishing that significantly contributed to increased tuna production and expansion of purse seine and other fishing gears. The introduction of the payao in tuna fishing in 1975 triggered the rapid development of the tuna and small pelagic fishery. With limited management schemes and strategies, however, unstable tuna and tuna-like species production was experienced in the 1980s and 1990s. In this paper, the evolution and development of the payao with emphasis on the technological aspect are reviewed. The present practices and techniques of payao in various parts of the country, including its structure, ownership, distribution, and fishing operations are discussed. Monitoring results of purse seine/ringnet operations including handline using payao in Celebes Sea and Western Luzon are presented to compare fishing styles and techniques, payao designs and species caught. The fishing gears in various regions of the country for harvesting payao are enumerated and discussed. The inshore and offshore payaos in terms of sea depth, location, designs, fishing methods and catch composi- tion are also compared. Fishing companies and fisherfolk associations involved in payao operation are presented to determine extent of uti- lization and involvement in the municipal and commercial sectors of the fishing industry.

  • The St·Ructural Evolution Oftyphoo S
    NSF/ NOAA ATM 8418204 ATM 8720488 DOD- NAVY- ONR N00014-87-K-0203 THE ST·RUCTURAL EVOLUTION OFTYPHOO S by Candis L. Weatherford SEP 2 6 1989 Pl.-William M. Gray THE STRUCTURAL EVOLUTION OF TYPHOONS By Candis L. Weatherford Department of Atmospheric Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 September, 1989 Atmospheric Science Paper No. 446 ABSTRACT A three phase life cycle characterizing the structural evolution of typhoons has been derived from aircraft reconnaissance data for tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific. More than 750 aircraft reconnaissance missions at 700 mb into 101 northwest Pacific typhoons are examined. The typical life cycle consists of the fol­ lowing: phase 1) the entire vortex wind field builds as the cyclone attains maximum intensity; phase 2) central pressure fills and maximum winds decrease in association with expanding cyclone size and strengthening of outer core winds; and phase 3) the wind field of the entire vortex decays. Nearly 700 aircraft radar reports of eyewall diameter are used to augment anal­ yses of the typhoon's life cycle. Eye characteristics and diameter appear to reflect the ease with which the maximum wind field intensifies. On average, an eye first appears with intensifying cyclones at 980 mb central pressure. Cyclones obtaining an eye at pressures higher than 980 mb are observed to intensify more rapidly while those whose eye initially appears at lower pressures deepen at slower rates and typ­ ically do not achieve as deep a central pressure. The eye generally contracts with intensification and expands as the cyclone fills, although there are frequent excep­ tions to this rule due to the variable nature of the eyewall size.

  • 2019 Insurance Fact Book
    2019 Insurance Fact Book TO THE READER Imagine a world without insurance. Some might say, “So what?” or “Yes to that!” when reading the sentence above. And that’s understandable, given that often the best experience one can have with insurance is not to receive the benefits of the product at all, after a disaster or other loss. And others—who already have some understanding or even appreciation for insurance—might say it provides protection against financial aspects of a premature death, injury, loss of property, loss of earning power, legal liability or other unexpected expenses. All that is true. We are the financial first responders. But there is so much more. Insurance drives economic growth. It provides stability against risks. It encourages resilience. Recent disasters have demonstrated the vital role the industry plays in recovery—and that without insurance, the impact on individuals, businesses and communities can be devastating. As insurers, we know that even with all that we protect now, the coverage gap is still too big. We want to close that gap. That desire is reflected in changes to this year’s Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.)Insurance Fact Book. We have added new information on coastal storm surge risk and hail as well as reinsurance and the growing problem of marijuana and impaired driving. We have updated the section on litigiousness to include tort costs and compensation by state, and assignment of benefits litigation, a growing problem in Florida. As always, the book provides valuable information on: • World and U.S. catastrophes • Property/casualty and life/health insurance results and investments • Personal expenditures on auto and homeowners insurance • Major types of insurance losses, including vehicle accidents, homeowners claims, crime and workplace accidents • State auto insurance laws The I.I.I.

  • Health Effects of Climate Change in the UK HEALTH EFFECTS of CLIMATE CHANGE in the UK PREFACE
    Health Effects of Climate Change in the UK HEALTH EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE UK PREFACE There is growing and widely accepted evidence that the climate of the earth is changing, in part due to human activity. It is also becoming clear that climate change will affect health.This effect will be felt more strongly in some countries than others but there is a clear need to understand the likely effects in the UK in order to develop strategies to mitigate such effects and to understand the extent of adaptation that may occur. In addition, the increased burden likely to be imposed on the National Health Service should be understood.The need for medical facilities to cope with the increased demands produced by more patients suffering from familiar disorders such as heat stroke or skin cancer and perhaps from comparatively unfamiliar disorders such as malaria and Lyme disease, should be addressed. It is clearly important that the impacts on health should be addressed both qualitatively and quantitatively. It is appreciated that considerable effort has been put into the former and that the list of potential problems has been well defined. The quantitative approach has, however, lagged behind. At the request of Ministers at the Department of Health the Expert Group on Climate Change and Health in the UK was formed in early 1999.The group included experts from the meteorological and climate change fields and also from physiology,public heath, epidemiology and microbiology.A series of meetings were held to identify key areas of concern and, in particular, those areas likely to be susceptible to quantitative study and analysis.
