It provides a foundation for further planning to ensure that County leadership, agencies, and citizens are aware and prepared to meet the effects of disasters and emergencies. Incident management cannot be event driven. Through increased awareness and preventive measures, the ultimate goal is to help ensure a unified approach that will lesson vulnerability to hazards over time. The HIVA is not a detailed study, but a general overview of known hazards that can affect Jefferson County. Jefferson County Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment 2011 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An integrated emergency management approach involves hazard identification, risk assessment, and vulnerability analysis. This document, the Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment (HIVA) describes the hazard identification and assessment of both natural hazards and technological, or human caused hazards, which exist for the people of Jefferson County.

  • Waves and Tides the Preceding Sections Have Dealt with the Types Of
    CHAPTER XIV Waves and Tides .......................................................................................................... Introduction The preceding sections have dealt with the types of motion in the ocean that bring about transport of water massesin a definite direction during a considerable length of time. They have also dealt with the random motion, the turbulence, which is superimposed upon the general flow. Besidesthese types, one has also to consider the oscillating motion characteristic of waves. In general, this motion manifests itself to the observer more by the riseand fall of the sea surface than by the motion of the individual water particles. Waves have attracted attention since before the beginning of recorded history, and in recent years they have been the subject of extensive theoretical studies. Surveys of our knowledge as to the character of ocean waves have been presented by Cornish (1912, 1934), Krtimmel (1911), Patton and Mariner (1932) and by Defant (1929). Lamb (1932) has discussed the hydrodynamic theories of waves, and Thorade (1931) has given a comprehensive review of the theoretical studies of ocean waves and has compiled a long list of literature covering the period from 1687 to 1930. Our understanding of the waves of the ocean, how they are formed and how they travel, is as yet by no means complete. The reason is, in the first place, that actual observations at sea are so difficult that the characteristicsof the waves cannot easily be determined. In the second place, the theories that serve to bring the observed sequence of events in nature into intimate connection with experience gained by other methods of study are still incomplete, particularly because most theories are based on classicalhydrodynamics, which deal with wave motion in an idealized fluid.

  • Eastern Newfoundland Strategic Environmental
    Eastern Newfoundland Offshore Area Strategic Environmental Assessment 4.3 Human Activities The following provides an overview of the existing human environment of the SEA Study Area. This includes, initially, a high-level overview of the various regions and communities that comprise the Eastern Newfoundland region, as overall background and context. This overview is followed by a description of those human activities that are particularly relevant to the scope of the SEA. This includes marine fisheries and other activities and elements that occur within or near the marine environment, and which therefore have the potential to interact with, and be affected by, future oil and gas activities in the SEA Study Area. 4.3.1 Regions and Communities Newfoundland and Labrador is the easternmost province of Canada, and consists of the Island of Newfoundland (111,390 km2), as well as Labrador (294,330 km2) which is located to the northwest on the Canadian mainland. The province had a 2011 population of 514,536 residents (Statistics Canada 2013a). The Island of Newfoundland comprises less than 30 percent of the province’s total land area, but is home to nearly 95 percent of its population. Residents live in approximately 250 municipalities and many unincorporated communities that range in population from fewer than five to more than 100,000 (NLDMA 2013). Communities are widely distributed along the coastline as well as throughout the interior of the Island. The following provides general baseline information related to the eastern portion of the Island of Newfoundland, specifically along the coast, with a focus on various relevant socioeconomic characteristics such as population, economy, employment and business and housing.

  • A Critical Realist Approach to Evolutionary Path Dependence: the Role of Counterurbanite Entrepreneurs in Tourism Regions of Rural Newfoundland
    A Critical Realist Approach to Evolutionary Path Dependence: The Role of Counterurbanite Entrepreneurs in Tourism Regions of Rural Newfoundland by Meghan Shannon A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 © Meghan Shannon 2018 Examining Committee Membership The following served on the Examining Committee for this thesis. The decision of the Examining Committee is by majority vote. External Examiner Christopher Fullerton Associate Professor, Brock University Supervisor Clare Mitchell Associate Professor, University of Waterloo Internal Member Judith Cukier Adjunct Professor, University of Waterloo Internal-external Member Heather Mair Associate Professor, University of Waterloo Other Member Stephen Smith Adjunct Professor, University of Waterloo ii Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of this thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract Path dependence has emerged as an approach to understanding economic decline in peripheral areas, consisting predominantly of space-based economic activities. Evolutionary economic geography is one lens through which transitioning path dependent locales, of industrial homogeneity, can be critically examined (Steen and Karlsen, 2014). This is because of the evolutionary nature of economic and social systems, which constitute the structures and conditions that largely dictate path dependent trajectories (Martin and Sunley, 2006). Some path dependent rural regions have been successful in creating new trajectories through tourism entrepreneurship (Brouder, 2014; Williams, 2013). This research investigates the evolution of one such path in a historically marginalized region of eastern Canada: rural Newfoundland.
