Natural disaster From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A natural disaster is a catastrophe that occurs when a hazardous physical event (such as a volcanic eruption earthquake landslide hurricane , or any of the other natural phenomena listed below) precipitates extensive damage to property, a large number of casualties, or both. In areas where there are no human interests, natural phenomena do not result in natural disasters. A disaster is a social disruption that can occur at the level of the individual, the community, or the state (Kreps 1986). The extent of casualties and damage to property resulting from a natural disaster depends on the capacity of the population to resist the disaster (Bankoff et al. 2004). This understanding is crystallized in the formulation: "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability " (Blaikie, 1994). In 2000, the United Nations launched the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) to address the underlying causes of vulnerability and to build disaster-resilient communities by promoting increased awareness of the importance of disaster reduction as an integral component of sustainable development, with the goal of reducing human, social, economic and environmental losses due to hazards of all kinds (UN/ISDR, 2000).

Getting Around When Disaster Strikes Old Sandy Spring Where History Happened Early Families at Work and Play Time Line ... Norbeck/Oakdale When Disaster Strikes Fire, Flood, Blizzard, Twister Marylanders rightly regard themselves as relatively removed from nature's worst disasters: hurricanes, earthquakes, fierce electrical storms, tornadoes, and devastating droughts. Yet excepting earthquakes, each occasionally strikes, seldom catastrophically but often severely enough to refresh our gratitude for their infrequency. By far the most costly disaster is the scourge of fire, sometimes caused by lightning, sometimes by spontaneous combustion, often by human carelessness and sometimes by arson. These scenes give a sampling of Sandy Spring's brushes with the hard hand of nature and arrant man. Four times in 30 years the Patuxent River leaped its banks and flooded the valley home of Mason and Lydia Haviland on Haviland Mill Road. Here Charlotte and Phyllis Haviland wade in the lawn during a 1956 deluge. Tropical storm Agnes hit hardest, in 1972, when water swirled 19 inches above the second floor. From their refuge in the upstairs bedroom, Mason and Lydia tucked the family cat in a styrofoam picnic cooler, launched it and themselves from a bedroom window, and swam with the cooler to high ground. Tom Lansdale's Sherwood Mill burns to the ground on an April Sunday in 1966a scene watched by hundreds of churchgoers. The structure had been built by his father Richard H. Lansdale II in 1921. The cause of the fire was not determined. Fire crews from Hillandale and Kensington struggled vainly beside Sandy Spring firemen to combat the blaze. Lansdale rebuilt and continued milling into the 1980s.

@import "/styles/coopext_adv.css"; no. 1.814 Caring for Livestock Before Disaster by S. Cotton and R. Ackerman Quick Facts... Livestock can sense some impending disasters before humans recognize a threat. Animals, and owners, can benefit from disaster drills. The proper disaster management approach varies with each type of event. Livestock management priorities differ before, during and after disasters occur. Disaster preparedness can lessen the impacts for you and your livestock. In most cases, the response time and resources in rural areas are greatly reduced. Handling disasters, those catastrophic events which stretch the capacity of communities, can only be approached with preparedness, pre-planned reaction and post-event mitigation. During a disaster event, rural residents often find their personal safety a large enough challenge without the added burden of caring for livestock. This fact sheet discusses the basic realities of livestock management before disasters occur. Please refer to fact sheets 1.815, Caring for Livestock During Disasters ; and 1.816

Ryan's Weather Disasters-Blizzards *Following Information From: Weather.com Blizzards Blizzards are characterized by low temperatures (usually below 20°F) and accompanied by winds that are at least 35 mph or greater, there must also be sufficient falling and/or blowing snow in the air that will frequently reduce visibility to 1/4 mile or less for a duration of at least 3 hours. A severe blizzard is considered to have temperatures near or below 10°F, winds exceeding 45 mph, and visibility reduced by snow to near zero. Blizzard conditions often develop on the northwest side of an intense storm system The difference between the lower pressure in the storm and the higher pressure to the west creates a tight pressure gradient, which in turn results in very strong winds. These winds combine with snow and blowing snow to produce extreme conditions. Storm systems powerful enough to cause blizzards usually form when the jet stream dips far to the south, allowing cold air from the north to clash with warm air from the south. With the colder and drier polar air comes atmospheric temperatures cold enough for the development of snow sleet , or freezing rain The Dakotas and parts of Minnesota were pounded by a succession of blizzards in the winter of 1996-1997. With few trees or other obstructions to reduce wind and blowing snow, this part of the country is particularly vulnerable to blizzards.

[home] [articles I've written] [papers I've edited] [my book] ... [contact me] At nature's mercy: Vermonters prove their mettle through floods, flu and blizzards From The Burlington (Vt.) Free Press, March 29, 1999 By Nancy Bazilchuk Nothing could have prepared Frank Eastman for what happened in the fall of 1918. Then again, no one was prepared. Eastman was a lineman with a small power company in Montpelier and Barre that would become Green Mountain Power Corp. A fastidious man, he kept a detailed, precise diary. Friday, Sept. 27, Eastman wrote that nine of his crew were sick. By the next day, 14 were out. Two weeks later, he recorded the first deaths among his men: "Carpenter Wiley died this morning and the switchboard operator this afternoon." Eastman's men were dying from the Spanish flu, a sudden, virulent epidemic. In Vermont, 1,772 people died. Around the world, millions died more than were lost in World War I. It was a dreadful calamity, the most severe natural disaster to hit Vermont in the 20th century. There have been others that devastated lives and caused widespread damage in Vermont. We've come to expect them: forest fires and floods, blizzards and ice storms. In 1903, forest fires raged through the Northeast Kingdom. In 1927, 84 were killed when floodwaters ripped out bridges and carted away homes - with families still in them. In 1938, a freak hurricane roared up the East Coast, flattening forests and crops, leaving scars that are visible in places today. Hundreds of people were killed.
