  • Resilience and the Threat of Natural Disasters in Europe Denis Binder
    Resilience and the Threat of Natural Disasters in Europe Denis Binder, Chapman University, United States The European Conference on Sustainability, Energy & the Environment 2018 Official Conference Proceedings iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org Introduction This paper focuses on the existential threat of natural hazards. History and recent experience tell us that the most constant, and predictable, hazard in Europe is that of widespread flooding with storms, often with hurricane force winds, slamming the coastal area and causing flooding inland as well. The modern world is seemingly plagued with the scourges of the Old Testament: earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, volcanoes, hurricanes and cyclones, wildfires, avalanches and landslides. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, have perished globally in natural hazards, falling victim to extreme forces of nature. None of these perils are new to civilization. Both the Gilgamesh Epic1 and the Old Testament talk of epic floods.2 The Egyptians faced ten plagues. The Minoans, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans experienced earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and pestilence. A cyclone destroyed Kublai Khan’s invasion fleet of Japan on August 15, 1281. A massive earthquake in Shaanxi Province, China on January 23, 1556 is estimated to have killed 830,000 persons. A discussion of extreme hazards often involves a common misconception of 100 year floods, 500 year floods, 200 year returns, and similar periods. A mistaken belief is that a “100 year” flood only occurs once a century. The measurement period is a statistical average over an extended period of time. It is not a means of forecasting. It means that on average a storm of that magnitude will occur once in a hundred years, but these storms could be back to back.

  • Smartworld.Asia Specworld.In
    Smartworld.asia Specworld.in UNIT-2 A natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth; examples include floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other geologic processes. A natural disaster can cause loss of life or property damage, and typically leaves some economic damage in its wake, the severity of which depends on the affected population's resilience, or ability to recover. An adverse event will not rise to the level of a disaster if it occurs in an area without vulnerable population. In a vulnerable area, however, such as San Francisco, an earthquake can have disastrous consequences and leave lasting damage, requiring years to repair. In 2012, there were 905 natural catastrophes worldwide, 93% of which were weather-related disasters. Overall costs were US$170 billion and insured losses $70 billion. 2012 was a moderate year. 45% were meteorological (storms), 36% were hydrological (floods), 12% were climatologically (heat waves, cold waves, droughts, wildfires) and 7% were geophysical events (earthquakes and volcanic eruptions). Between 1980 and 2011 geophysical events accounted for 14% of all natural Avalanches smartworlD.asia During World War I, an estimated 40,000 to 80,000 soldiers died as a result of avalanches during the mountain campaign in the Alps at the Austrian-Italian front, many of which were caused by artillery fire.[6] Earthquakes An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by vibration, shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground.

  • HRPP367-Hydrodynamic and Loss... the 1953 Canvey Island Flood
    Hydrodynamic and loss of life modelling for the 1953 Canvey Island fl ood HRPP 368 Manuela Di Mauro & Darren Lumbroso Reproduced from: Flood Risk Management - Research and Practice Proceedings of FLOODrisk 2008 Keble College, Oxford, UK 30 September to 2 October 2008 Flood Risk Management: Research and Practice – Samuels et al. (eds) © 2009 Taylor & Francis Group, London, ISBN 978-0-415-48507-4 Hydrodynamic and loss of life modelling for the 1953 Canvey Island flood Manuela Di Mauro & Darren Lumbroso HR Wallingford Ltd, Wallingford, Oxfordshire, UK ABSTRACT: Canvey Island is located in the Thames Estuary. The island is a low-lying alluvial fan covering an area of 18.5 km2, with an average height of approximately 1 m below the mean high water level. Canvey Island is protected against inundation by a network of flood defences. In 1953, the island was inundated by the “Great North Sea Flood” that breached the island’s flood defences and resulted in the deaths of 58 people and the destruction of several hundred houses. As part of the EC funded research project FLOODsite, work was undertaken to set up both a hydrodynamic and an agent-based loss-of-life model of Canvey Island for the 1953 flood. The objective of the work was to obtain a better understanding of the 1953 flood event and to analyse the consequences of breaches in the island’s flood defences in terms of loss of life and injuries. The work under- taken indicates that the agent-based life safety model can provide a scientifically robust method to assess loss of life, injuries and evacuation times for areas that are at risk from flooding in the UK.

    MAS8306 Topics in Statistics: Environmental Extremes Dr. Lee Fawcett Semester 2 2017/18 1 Background and motivation 1.1 Introduction Finally, there is almost1 a global consensus amongst scientists that our planet’s climate is changing. Evidence for climatic change has been collected from a variety of sources, some of which can be used to reconstruct the earth’s changing climates over tens of thousands of years. Reasonably complete global records of the earth’s surface tempera- ture since the early 1800’s indicate a positive trend in the average annual temperature, and maximum annual temperature, most noticeable at the earth’s poles. Glaciers are considered amongst the most sensitive indicators of climate change. As the earth warms, glaciers retreat and ice sheets melt, which – over the last 30 years or so – has resulted in a gradual increase in sea and ocean levels. Apart from the consequences on ocean ecosystems, rising sea levels pose a direct threat to low–lying inhabited areas of land. Less direct, but certainly noticeable in the last fiteen years or so, is the effect of rising sea levels on the earth’s weather systems. A larger amount of warmer water in the Atlantic Ocean, for example, has certainly resulted in stronger, and more frequent, 1Almost... — 3 — 1 Background and motivation tropical storms and hurricanes; unless you’ve been living under a rock over the last few years, you would have noticed this in the media (e.g. Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Superstorm Sandy in 2012). Most recently, and as reported in the New York Times in January 2018, the 2017 hurricane season was “..
