    CHAPTER II Planning Area Profile for Hazard Mitigation Analysis 24 Territory of American Samoa Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan A U.S. Territory since 1900, American Samoa is located in the central South Pacific Ocean, 2,300 miles south-southwest of Hawaii and 1,600 miles east-northeast of New Zealand. American Samoa has a total land area of approximately 76 square miles and consists of a group of five volcanic islands and two atolls (Rose Atoll and Swains Island). The five volcanic islands, Tutuila, Aunu’u, Ofu, Olosega, and Ta’u, are the major inhabited islands. Tutuila is the largest island and the center of government. Ofu, Olosega, and Ta’u, collectively are referred to as the Manu’a Islands. Figure 1 Base Map of American Samoa depicts all of the islands of American Samoa. Figure 1. Base Map of American Samoa. The five volcanic islands, Tutuila, Aunu’u, Ofu, Olosega, and Ta’u, are the inhabited islands. At 53 square miles, Tutuila is the largest and oldest of the islands, and is the center of government and business. It is a long, narrow island lying SW-NE, is just over 20 miles in length, and ranges from 1 to 2 miles wide in the eastern half, and from 2 to 5 miles wide in the western half. Home to 95 percent of the territory’s 55,000 residents, Tutuila is the historic capitol (Pago Pago), the seat of American Samoa’s legislature and judiciary (Fagatogo), as well as the office of the Governor. Tutuila is often divided into 3 regions: the eastern district, the western district and Manu’a district.

  • United States Department of the Interior Geological Survey the October 28, 1979, Landsliding on Tutuila, American Samoa by Jane
    United States Department of the Interior Geological Survey The October 28, 1979, Landsliding On Tutuila, American Samoa by Jane M. Buchanan-Banks Open-File Report 81-81 This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with U. S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature The October 28, 1979, Landsliding on Tutuila, American Samoa Abstract In an apparently short time interval in the early morning of October 28, 1979, more than 70 landslides occurred on Tutuila Island, American Samoa. They were confined to the western end of the island from Asili on the south shore to Massacre Bay on the north. One of the landslides in Seetaga caused four fatalities; the others caused property damage and blocked the main transportation route on the west end of the island. Although there were rumors of an earthquake immediately preceding the landsliding, an examination of the seismograph from Apia Observatory, Western Samoa, for the morning of October 28 shows no record of an earth­ quake. Heavy rains during the preceding few days coupled with the general­ ly steep slopes and deeply weathered geologic materials appear to have caused the slope failures. There is abundant evidence both visually and on aerial photographs taken in 1941 and 1960 that landslides are frequent occurrences in the effected area. It is recommended that an analysis be made of the regional slope stability relative to current and proposed land use practices. Such an analysis would include: 1) air photos taken at a scale of 1:24,000 for comparison with those taken previously to document areas of landsliding; 2) a study of the vegetative cover; 3) a slope map; and 4) a detailed geological and structural map.

  • 1 Fishery Performance
    Annual SAFE Report for the American Samoa Archipelago FEP Fishery Performance DRAFT – DO NOT CITE 1 FISHERY PERFORMANCE 1.1 FISHERY DESCRIPTIONS The Samoa Archipelago is a remote chain of 13 islands of varying sizes and an atoll, located 14° south of the equator near the International Date Line. The islands lie between 13° and 14° latitude south and 169° and 173° longitude west, about 480 km (300 mi) from west to east, covering an area of 3,030 sq. km (1,170 sq. miles). With its tropical setting and its latitudinal range lying within the known limits of coral growth, coral reefs fringe the islands and atolls in the archipelago. The archipelago is approximately 4,200 km south of Hawaii in the central South Pacific Ocean. The archipelago is divided into two political entities: Independent Samoa and American Samoa. The Independent Samoa has two large islands, Upolu and Savaii, and eight islets. American Samoa is comprised of five volcanic islands (Tutuila, Aunu’u, Ofu, Olosega, and Ta’u), one low-island (Swains Island), and a coral atoll (Rose Atoll). The five volcanic islands that are part of the American Samoa territory are very steep with mountainous terrain and high sea cliffs and of various sizes. Tutuila Island, the largest (137 km2) and most populated island, is the most eroded with the most extensive shelf area and has banks and barrier reefs. Aunuu is a small island very close to Tutuila. Ofu and Olosega (together as 13 km2) are twin volcanic islands separated by a strait which is a shallow and narrow break in the reef flat between the islands.
