  • Section 5.4.3: Risk Assessment – Flood
    SECTION 5.4.3: RISK ASSESSMENT – FLOOD 5.4.3 FLOOD This section provides a profile and vulnerability assessment for the flood hazard. HAZARD PROFILE This section provides hazard profile information including description, extent, location, previous occurrences and losses and the probability of future occurrences. Description Floods are one of the most common natural hazards in the U.S. They can develop slowly over a period of days or develop quickly, with disastrous effects that can be local (impacting a neighborhood or community) or regional (affecting entire river basins, coastlines and multiple counties or states) (Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA], 2006). Most communities in the U.S. have experienced some kind of flooding, after spring rains, heavy thunderstorms, coastal storms, or winter snow thaws (George Washington University, 2001). Floods are the most frequent and costly natural hazards in New York State in terms of human hardship and economic loss, particularly to communities that lie within flood prone areas or flood plains of a major water source. The FEMA definition for flooding is “a general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of two or more acres of normally dry land area or of two or more properties from the overflow of inland or tidal waters or the rapid accumulation of runoff of surface waters from any source (FEMA, Date Unknown).” The New York State Disaster Preparedness Commission (NYSDPC) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) indicates that flooding could originate from one

Sponsor Funding for encoding this finding aid was partially provided through a grant awarded by the National Endowment for the Humanities Biographical Note Miles Poindexter, attorney, member of Congress from Washington State, and diplomat, was born in 1868 in Tennessee and grew up in Virginia. He attended Washington and Lee University (undergraduate and law school), receiving his law degree in 1891. He moved to Walla Walla, Washington, was admitted to the bar and began his law practice. He entered politics soon after his arrival and ran successfully for County Prosecutor as a Democrat in 1892. Poindexter moved to Spokane in 1897 where he continued the practice of law. He switched to the Republican Party in Spokane, where he received an appointment as deputy prosecuting attorney (1898-1904). In 1904 he was elected Superior Court Judge. Poindexter became identified with progressive causes and it was as a progressive Republican and a supporter of Theodore Roosevelt that he was elected to the House of Representatives in 1908 and to the Senate in 1910.

SOLHEIM II TENTH PACIFIC SCIENCE CONGRESS A general notice of the Tenth Pacific Science Congress was presented in this section of the last news issue of Asian Perspectives. There are to be four sessions jointly sponsored by the Section of anthropology and Social Sciences of the Congress and the Far-Eastern Prehistory Association. The organizer of this Division is Dr Kenneth P. Emory, Department of Anthropology, Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu 17, Hawaii and the Co-organizer is Dr Wilhelm G. Solheim II, FEPA, Department ofAnthropology and Archreology, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida. Three ofthe sessions are symposia; these are: 'Geochronology: Methods and Results', Convener-Wilhelm G. Solheim II; 'Current Research in Pacific Islands Archreology', Convener-Kenneth P. Emory; and 'Trade Stone­ ware and Porcelain in Southeast Asia', Convener-Robert P. Griffing, Jr., Director, Honolulu Academy of Arts, Honolulu, Hawaii. The fourth session will be 'Contri­ buted Papers on Far Eastern Archreology', with its Chairman Roger Duff, Director, Canterbury Museum, Christchurch, New Zealand. There are a number of other symposia in the Anthropology and Social Science Section which will be of particular interest to the archreologist. A detailed report of the meetings will appear in the Winter 1961 issue (Vol. V, No.2) of Asian Perspect£ves. UNIVERSITY PROGRAlVIMES IN FAR-EASTERN PREHISTORY Academic interest in the inclusion of Oceanian and Southeast Asian prehistoric archreology in the university curriculum is continuing to increase. In 1960 the Australian National University indicated their intention of including this in their programme with the selection of Jack Golson as a Fellow on the staff of their Department of Anthropology and Sociology.
