There is considerable research interest on the meaning and measurement of resilience from a variety of research perspectives including those from the hazards/disasters and global change communities. The identification of standards and metrics for measuring disaster resilience is one of the challenges faced by local, state, and federal agencies, especially in the United States. This paper provides a new framework, the disaster resilience of place (DROP) model, designed to improve comparative assessments of disaster resilience at the local or community level. A candidate set of variables for implementing the model are also presented as a first step towards its implementation. 相似文献

An intensive in situ sampling program near Marco Island, Florida during 19–23 October 1988 collected information on mangrove type, maximum canopy height, and percent canopy closure. These data were correlated with selected vegetation index information derived from analysis of SPOT multispectral (XS) data obtained on 21 October 1988. The Normalized Difference (ND) vegetation index information was the most highly correlated index with percent canopy closure (r=0.91). Percent canopy closure information can be used as a surrogate for mangrove density which is of great value when predicting which parts of the mangrove ecosystem are at greatest risk after an oil spill occurs. Such information is very valuable when constructing oil spill Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Maps for tropical regions of the world. 相似文献

Sustaining agricultural production and food security in Southern Africa: an improved role for climate prediction? 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Livelihoods and household food security in the Southern African region can be extremely vulnerable to the negative effects
of climate stress as shown by the 2002–2004 ‘complex emergency.’ Climate prediction may prove a valuable resource in mitigating
these effects. If climate prediction is applied successfully, it may be able to help guide responses in populations at risk
to reduce vulnerability to climate stress. The study presented here seeks to understand what would constitute an improved
role for climate prediction in contributing to sustaining agricultural production and food security in Southern Africa. Investigation
undertaken during the 2002/2003 rainy season under regional conditions of elevated disaster risk shows, however, that a number
of weaknesses and gaps persistently characterize climate information systems in the Southern African region, and constrain
such systems’ ability to benefit key sectors, particularly agriculture. The stakeholder identification of such gaps forms
the basis for distilling concrete recommendations to improve process and organizational efficiency. Such recommendations,
while developmental, should better enable institutions and stakeholders involved in climate prediction to fulfill their potential
in supporting development of successful adaptation strategies in populations and sectors at risk. 相似文献

This work investigated an interrelationship between the monthly means of time derivatives of horizontal geomagnetic field, dH/dt, sunspot number, R z , and aa index for the period of substorms (from ?90 to ?1800 nT) during the years 1990–2009. A total of 232 substorms were identified during the period of study. The time derivative of horizontal geomagnetic field, dH/dt, used as a proxy for geomagnetically induced current (GIC) exhibited high positive correlation with sunspot number (0.86) and aa index (0.8998). The obtained geomagnetic activity is in 92.665% explicable by the combined effect of sunspot number and aa index. The distribution of substorms as a function of years gives a strong support for the existence of geomagnetic activity increases, which implies that as the sunspot number increases the base level of geomagnetic activity increases too. 相似文献
