    Remote Sensing of Environment 229 (2019) 1–13 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Remote Sensing of Environment journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/rse Hurricane damage detection on four major Caribbean islands T ⁎ Kirsten M. de Beursa, , Noel S. McThompsona, Braden C. Owsleya, Geoffrey M. Henebryb,c a Department of Geography and Environmental Sustainability, University of Oklahoma, United States of America b Department of Geography, Environment, and Spatial Sciences, Michigan State University, United States of America c Center for Global Change and Earth Observations, Michigan State University, United States of America ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Tropical cyclones are natural events that transform into natural disasters as they approach and reach land. In Hurricanes 2017 alone, tropical cyclones caused an estimated $215 billion in damage. While MODIS data are regularly used Droughts in the analysis of hurricanes and typhoons, damage studies typically focus on just a few events without providing MODIS a comprehensive overview and comparison across events. The MODIS record is now sufficiently long to enable Disturbance standardization in time, allowing us to extend previously developed disturbance methodology and to remove Tasseled Cap dependency on land cover datasets. We apply this new approach to detect the impact of both droughts and hurricanes on the four largest Caribbean islands since 2001. We find that the percentage of disturbed land on the four islands varies from approximately 0–50% between 2001 and 2017, with the highest percentages coinciding with major droughts in Cuba, and Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. We demonstrate that (1) Hurricane Maria resulted in significant disturbance across 50% of Puerto Rico (4549 km2), and (2) gradual recovery started about 2.5 months after the hurricane hit.

    1454 MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW VOLUME 131 ANNUAL SUMMARY Atlantic Hurricane Season of 2001 JOHN L. BEVEN II, STACY R. STEWART,MILES B. LAWRENCE,LIXION A. AVILA,JAMES L. FRANKLIN, AND RICHARD J. PASCH NOAA/NWS/Tropical Prediction Center/National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida (Manuscript received 19 July 2002, in ®nal form 9 December 2002) ABSTRACT Activity during the 2001 hurricane season was similar to that of the 2000 season. Fifteen tropical storms developed, with nine becoming hurricanes and four major hurricanes. Two tropical depressions failed to become tropical storms. Similarities to the 2000 season include overall activity much above climatological levels and most of the cyclones occurring over the open Atlantic north of 258N. The overall ``lateness'' of the season was notable, with 11 named storms, including all the hurricanes, forming after 1 September. There were no hurricane landfalls in the United States for the second year in a row. However, the season's tropical cyclones were responsible for 93 deaths, including 41 from Tropical Storm Allison in the United States, and 48 from Hurricanes Iris and Michelle in the Caribbean. 1.

LADB Article Id: 53244 ISSN: 1089-1560 Summit Moved Closer to Cuban Positions by LADB Staff Category/Department: Cuba Published: 2001-12-13 Havana is confident that, at the XI Ibero-American Summit in Lima, Peru, Nov. 23-24, delegates from Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, and Portugal moved closer to Cuban views on terrorism and the globalized economy. Adopting wording almost identical to the Cuban proposal on terrorism they rejected at the previous summit, the delegates then focused on poverty and economic development. Cuban President Fidel Castro did not attend the summit because of the crisis in Cuba caused by Hurricane Michelle (see NotiCen, 2001-11-29). Vice President Carlos Lage represented Cuba. The tenth summit, which took place last year in Panama, split apart over the terrorism issue. A heated exchange occurred after Castro accused Salvadoran President Francisco Flores of harboring known terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, who was living in El Salvador and traveling on a Salvadoran passport. In Castro's view, states that did not arrest known terrorists like Posada Carriles contributed to the history of terrorist attacks on Cuba carried out by Cuban exiles living in the US.

  • Flood Risk in Jamaica : Recent Damage and Loss Due to Tropical Cyclones in Jamaica
    Flood Risk in Jamaica : Recent Damage and Loss due to tropical cyclones in Jamaica. Report prepared as part of the Climate Change and Inland Flooding in Jamaica: Risk and Adaptation Measures for Vulnerable Communities : Disaster Risk Management and Policies in Jamaica. David Smith1and Arpita Mandal2 Caribbean territories are highly vulnerable to the impacts of hazards, which may be natural, resulting from hydro-meteorological, seismic or geologic triggers or anthropological. Studies of damage and loss due to floods in the Caribbean are few and studies relating damage to intensity of the event are even fewer. For example, the EM-DAT database indicates that 119 floods occurred in the Caribbean since 1983. This resulted in 49833 deaths, 3,963,286 people affected and damage of 866,325,000 US dollars4. Of this figure, 3353 (67%) deaths occurred in a single event in Hispaniola in 2004. The figures for damage are missing for 99 of the 119 events. It has been suggested that disaster risk reduction requires good data not just on the impact of hazards, but also on the nature, magnitude and extent of hazards to be effective. In the Caribbean, assessments of damage and loss have been carried out by the governments of affected countries or by UN ECLAC. While these studies may indicate the severity of the event; few non-economic data are quantified, nor are data presented so that damage can be related quantitatively to the severity of events or compared quantitatively between events, though some qualitative analysis is possible. Notwithstanding this, economic damage and loss due to tropical cyclones in the Caribbean are significant proportion of GDP with some events causing damage and loss of more than 100% of GDP.

Appendix 55 2 I. Executive Summary A. Overview of 2015 Hurricane Season Activity during the 2015 hurricane season included several historic events. It began when Tropical Storm Ana made landfall along the Grand Strand near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on May 10, 2015. Tropical Storm Ana was an unusually early storm which developed quickly but, fortunately, had limited impact. This storm is important to note as it developed before the official start of the hurricane season on June 1st; in fact, it is the second earliest landfalling tropical cyclone on record for the United States.1 Ana was also one of only two storms to make landfall in the United States2 and was the only tropical storm whose path crossed the state of South Carolina. Ana brought about six inches of rain to North Myrtle Beach and Kinston, NC, but the highest wind gusts were limited to 50 to 60 miles per hour. The storm’s damage was primarily in the form of beach erosion and limited flooding. Shortly thereafter, Tropical Storm Bill formed in the Gulf Coast, but quickly fizzled into a tropical depression that headed north into Texas and Oklahoma before turning east.
