In this section: EP Digest Archive EP Digest - Back Issues Feature Article April-June 2000 Safeguarding Canada's cultural heritage Wendy MacIntyre After a home is damaged - through fire or flood, for example - people's natural instinct is to try to retrieve the personal treasures that embody their family heritage: photographs, a wedding gown, birth certificates and precious mementoes bequeathed from generation to generation. The loss of these kinds of objects can be devastating because they are such powerful components of personal identity. On a national scale, the loss of cultural treasures can be just as devastating. If a country's cultural heritage is at risk, its sense of national identity will also be endangered. Ann deBeaupré, Program Coordinator with OCIPEP (EPC), is very much concerned with mitigating the risk to Canada's cultural heritage. "During any planning for emergency," she emphasizes, "cultural heritage should be discussed. Of course, protection of life is paramount. But don't leave cultural heritage off the map." EPC is part of a burgeoning partnership initiative (see below) to protect our country's heritage from natural and human-made disasters. As Ms. deBeaupré points out, cultural heritage encompasses an enormous range of artifacts, archival documents, sites and buildings. "It involves places and built environments where momentous events occurred. It involves not only art on walls, but also church altars, tapestries, books, maps, landscapes (in parks) and documents such as the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms."

State Differences in Reported Healthy Days Among Adults United States, 1993-1996 Traditional population health measures, such as infant mortality rates, vaccination rates, and average life expectancy, have emphasized morbidity and mortality. During the past decade, weighted indices of population health (e.g., years of healthy life and disability-adjusted life-years), which combine life expectancy with aspects of health-related quality of life (HRQOL), have provided more comprehensive summary measures (1). To meet the need for a less complex measure that is more sensitive to local variations in population health, CDC developed the "healthy days" index. This HRQOL index tracks the number of healthy days (i.e., days when persons' physical and mental health were both good) during the preceding 30 days for a specific population (2-5). This report describes state differences for 1993-1996 in the mean number of healthy days reported by adults, including large differences within each state by level of formal education. During 1993-1996, the overall state-weighted mean number of healthy days during the preceding 30 days for all adults was 24.7, ranging from 23.7 (Kentucky and Nevada) to 26.0 (South Dakota) (pless than 0.05; weighted z-test after adjustment for multiple comparisons) (

In this book, two leading experts in technological risk assessment and mitigation analyze nearly three dozen disasters - from Chernobyl to Challenger, the Bhopal gas leak to the Exxon Valdez oil spill. They present lessons learned and preventive strategies for all four leading causes of disaster: technical design, human factors, organizational system factors, and socio-cultural factors . They also identify appropriate preventive roles for every participant in technological systems, from corporations to individual citizens.” "A superb book on how to prevent and minimize technological disasters." - P.

Aguirre, Benigno, "Evacuation as Population Mobility," Vol. 1, No. 3 (November 1983): 415-437. An analytical perspective is used to examine the relationship of human evacuation and migration. The first part of the paper focuses on the variables of distance, permanence and voluntarism used to distinguish evacuation from migration, to point out that the lack of interest in evacuation by students of migration, partly on the basis of the assumed clear-cut differences in these three dimensions, is unwarranted. The second part of the paper identifies three models which would provide a basis for a synthesis of the two types of geographical mobility: evacuations and migrations as residential displacements, as the result of subjective decision-making processes triggered by stressors, and as instances of collective behavior.

Erwin Atwood and Ann Marie Major , "Exploring the 'Cry Wolf' Hypothesis," pp. 279-302. The "cry wolf" hypothesis argues that individuals who have experienced predictions of disasters that do not materialize will discount the validity of subsequent disaster warnings. This belief in the false alarm effect is widely mentioned in the disaster literature, and anecdotal material appears to support the validity of the hypothesis. This study of a false earthquake warning supports experimental findings indicating that cancellation of a disaster warning leads to a false alarm effect. Following cancellation of the threat by the non-appearance of the predicted earthquake, 46.7 percent of the panel respondents indicated that they would pay less attention whereas only 16.7 percent said that they would pay more attention to a future earthquake prediction. The panel data also suggest that the mass media were substantial contributors to the observed false alarm effect, while at the same time the media escaped blame for their contributions to the problem.
