  • Hurricane & Tropical Storm
    5.8 HURRICANE & TROPICAL STORM SECTION 5.8 HURRICANE AND TROPICAL STORM 5.8.1 HAZARD DESCRIPTION A tropical cyclone is a rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or sub-tropical waters and has a closed low-level circulation. Tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes are all considered tropical cyclones. These storms rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere around the center and are accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds (NOAA, 2013). Almost all tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic basin (which includes the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea) form between June 1 and November 30 (hurricane season). August and September are peak months for hurricane development. The average wind speeds for tropical storms and hurricanes are listed below: . A tropical depression has a maximum sustained wind speeds of 38 miles per hour (mph) or less . A tropical storm has maximum sustained wind speeds of 39 to 73 mph . A hurricane has maximum sustained wind speeds of 74 mph or higher. In the western North Pacific, hurricanes are called typhoons; similar storms in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean are called cyclones. A major hurricane has maximum sustained wind speeds of 111 mph or higher (NOAA, 2013). Over a two-year period, the United States coastline is struck by an average of three hurricanes, one of which is classified as a major hurricane. Hurricanes, tropical storms, and tropical depressions may pose a threat to life and property. These storms bring heavy rain, storm surge and flooding (NOAA, 2013). The cooler waters off the coast of New Jersey can serve to diminish the energy of storms that have traveled up the eastern seaboard.

  • AN ANALYSIS of WILDFIRE IMPACTS on CLIMATE CHANGE By
    AN ANALYSIS OF WILDFIRE IMPACTS ON CLIMATE CHANGE By: Taylor Gilson Mentor: Dr. Elaine Fagner 1 Abstract Abstract: The western United States (U.S.). has recently seen an increase in wildfires that destroyed communities and lives. This researcher seeks to examine the impact of wildfires on climate change by examining recent studies on air quality and air emissions produced by wildfires, and their impact on climate change. Wildfires cause temporary large increases in outdoor airborne particles, such as particulate matter 2.5 (PM 2.5) and particulate matter 10(PM 10). Large wildfires can increase air pollution over thousands of square kilometers (Berkley University, 2021). The researcher will be conducting this research by analyzing PM found in the atmosphere, as well as analyzing air quality reports in the Southwestern portion of the U.S. The focus of this study is to examine the air emissions after wildfires have occurred in Yosemite National Park; and the research analysis will help provide the scientific community with additional data to understand the severity of wildfires and their impacts on climate change. Project Overview and Hypothesis This study examines the air quality from prior wildfires in Yosemite National Park. This research effort will help provide additional data for the scientific community and local, state, and federal agencies to better mitigate harmful levels of PM in the atmosphere caused by forest fires. The researcher hypothesizes that elevated PM levels in the Yosemite National Park region correlate with wildfires that are caused by natural sources such as lightning strikes and droughts. Introduction The researcher will seek to prove the linkage between wildfires and PM.

  • Categorical Exclusion Record
    1 Decision Memorandum on Action and for Application of: Categorical Exclusion 1.12 Evaluation of Pinyon Removal Effects Typical of a Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Fuels Reduction Project Mono Basin, CA CER Number: CA-170-05-35 U.S. Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management Bishop Field Office Mono County, California Purpose and Need for the Action The BLM Bishop Field Office has identified a critical resource management need to develop ecologically sound and cost-effective fuel treatment prescriptions for areas where pinyon-juniper woodlands have expanded into sagebrush steppe during the 1900s (Miller et al. 1999, Miller 2000). The vegetative fuels of such areas, including the Mono Basin, are now well outside their natural range of variability for the current climate conditions, thus making these areas highly susceptible to large, high-intensity wildland fires. Many of these encroaching pinyon stands are also within designated Wildland/Urban Interface (WUI) areas, placing residents, homesites, and other structures at significant risk. In just the past five years, several large, high-intensity wildland fires have burned through pinyon – juniper areas of the eastern Sierra, most notably in the Walker – Coleville area of northern Mono County. The fuels conditions (Fire Regime/Condition Class 2 and 3) associated with this proposed project are similar to those that existed in the Walker – Coleville area and other areas of the eastern Sierra prior to these recent large, high-intensity wildland fires. The management of these pinyon-juniper fuels, especially where communities and homesites are threatened, is one of the top priorities for the BLM and other agencies in the southwestern Great Basin and the eastern Sierra Nevada mountains.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING September 28, 2017 Rodger Gabrielson called the meeting to order at 09:03 a.m. Board of Directors: Don Bowler Rodger Gabrielson Dave Gibson Tom Sawyer Larry Stuker Administration: Chief Dan Tucker Deputy Chief Dave Phillips Jamie Vohs APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion: Tom Sawyer moved to approve the July 27, 2017 meeting minutes as presented, seconded by Don Bowler, unanimously passed. REPORTS Treasurer Report Larry briefly went through the treasurer reports and inquired on the following line items: uniforms, professional & legal, training and ambulance revenue. Motion: Don Bowler moved to accept the July & August 2017 financial reports as presented, seconded by Larry Stuker, unanimously passed. Chief’s Report – Chief Tucker Fire and Ambulance Report – Chief Tucker The fire and ambulance report will be changing a bit. The current process is lengthy and Chief Tucker hopes to be able to use Intterra more frequently in the future as it will be offering more options. Intterra was a great resource during the fires. There were less medical calls during the times of the fires. It is believed people were more alert and aware of the busyness of the fire department. Chief Tucker discussed: The department was well prepared for the eclipse. Sisters did not see the amount of people that were projected.
