Name Hamdan Alghasyah Dhanhani This is a digitised version of a dissertation submitted to the University of Bedfordshire. It is available to view only. This item is subject to copyright. EVALUATION OF THE RESPONSE CAPABILITY OF THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (UAE) TO THE IMPACT OF NATURAL HAZARDS by HAMDAN AL GHASYAH DHANHANI A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Bedfordshire LIRANS Institute of Research in the Applied Natural Sciences July University of Bedfordshire 250 Butterfield Great Marlings Luton LU2 8DL 2010 EVALUATION OF THE RESPONSE CAPABILITY OF THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (UAE) TO THE IMPACT OF NATURAL HAZARDS HAMDAN AL GHASYAH DHANHANI ABSTRACT The UAE is an Islamic state which has undergone dramatic urbanization in the last 30 years. It is situated near the eastern margin of the Arabian tectonic plate, close to the seismically active collision zone between the Arabian and Eurasian Plates, marked by the Zagros Mountain belt of Iran. In the UAE the population of Dibba in Fujairah has felt tremors as recently as November 26 2009 and an earthquake with a magnitude (M) of 5 occurred in Masafi, Fujairah, in March 2002. The most recent earthquake was M 4.3, and awareness of seismic hazard is increasing. In addition to earthquakes, rapid heavy rainfall in the arid environment of the UAE typically results in high level of discharge and flooding. Tropical storms have also struck the Indian Ocean coast of the UAE and have caused damage in coastal areas.
