For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] A slow reading of Olive Senior's hurricane story Abstract Over the course of the 20th century, recourse to satellite and radar technology, and the use of reconnaissance aircraft, has greatly assisted the tracking of tropical cyclones. In addition, data buoys are now employed throughout the Gulf of Mexico and along the Atlantic and Pacific es aboards to relay air and water temperature, wind speed, air pressure and wave conditions that enable more accurate prediction and monitoring of storm systems. But before the people of the Caribbean had recourse to modern instrumentation and communication, surviving a regular hurricane season was founded on sensitivity to environment, accumulated knowledge passed from one generation to the next by word of mouth; and what amounted to a rehearsed, even ritualised, set of practices. As Jamaican Canadian poet Olive Senior writes in 'Hurricane Story, 1903': In those days storm warning came by telegraph to Postmistress. Living in the bush, Grandfather couldn't see her rush to broadcast the news by posting a black flag.

  • ABSTRACT a Preliminary Natural Hazards Vulnerability Assessment
    1 ABSTRACT A Preliminary Natural Hazards Vulnerability Assessment of the Norman Manley International Airport and its Access Route Kevin Patrick Douglas M.Sc. in Disaster Management The University of the West Indies 2011 The issue of disaster risk reduction through proper assessment of vulnerability has emerged as a pillar of disaster management, a paradigm shift from simply responding to disasters after they have occurred. The assessment of vulnerability is important for countries desiring to maintain sustainable economies, as disasters have the potential to disrupt their economic growth and the lives of thousands of people. This study is a preliminary assessment of the hazard vulnerabilities the Norman Manley International Airport (NMIA) in Kingston Jamaica and its Access Route, as these play an important developmental role in the Jamaican society. The Research involves an analysis of the hazard history of the area along with the location and structural vulnerabilities of critical facilities. Finally, the mitigation measures in place for the identified hazards are assessed and recommendations made to increase the resilience of the facility. The findings of the research show that the NMIA and its access route are mostly vulnerable to earthquakes, hurricanes with flooding from storm surges, wind damage and sea level rise based 2 on their location and structure. The major mitigation measures involved the raising of the Access Route from Harbour View Roundabout to the NMIA and implementation of structural protective barriers as well as various engineering design specifications of the NMIA facility. Also, the implementation of structural mitigation measures may be of limited success, if hazard strikes exceed the magnitude which they are designed to withstand.

  • The Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America
    The Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America VOL. X JUNE, 1920 No. 2 JAMAICA EARTHQUAKES AND THE BARTLETT TROUGH By STEPHEN TABER INTRODUCTION The island of Jamaica lies between the parallels 17 ° 42' and 18 ° 32' north and the meridians 76 ° 11' and 78 ° 23' west. Its extreme length in an east-west direction is 232 kilometers and its greatest width north and south is 79 kilometers; the total area being 10,900 square kilometers. Within this relatively small area many earth- quakes have been felt since the discovery and settlement of the island over four centuries ago. Although most of the earthquakes have been of low intensity, several have resulted in destruction of property, and the earthquake of 1692 must be classed among the great earthquakes of history. The earthquake of 1907 was extremely destructive but did not equal that of 1692 in intensity. It is impossible to fix the origin of the large number of shocks that have caused no appreciable damage, for in most cases the only information preserved is the date and time of their occurrence. However, fairly good descriptions of the more destructive earthquakes are available, which make it possoble to fix their origins approximately at least; and it is a general rule that most of the weak shocks of a district originate in the same locali- ties as the stronger ones. TIlE EARTHOUAKE OF 1687 The first earthquake of which we have knowledge occurred on Sunday, February 19, 1687, at about 8 a.m. Sir Hans Sloane states that it "was generally felt all over the island at the same time, or near it; some houses therein being cracked and very near ruined, others being uncovered of their tiles; very few escaped some injury.
