In the aftermath of a hurricane, local emergency managers need to communicate reentry plans to households that might be scattered over multiple counties or states. To better understand evacuees’ households’ reliance on different information sources at the time they decided to return home, this study collected data on reentry after Hurricane Ike. The results from a survey of 340 evacuating households indicated that there was low compliance with official reentry plans and that none of the information sources produced greater compliance with official reentry plans. Nonetheless, there were significant changes in the utilization of different sources of emergency information over the course of an evacuation but local news media remained the most common sources throughout the event. There also were significant differences in the relative importance of different sources of reentry information, with people relying most on information from peers. In summary, local authorities need to identify more effective ways to communicate with evacuees that have relocated to distant communities and to motivate them to comply with official reentry plans. 相似文献

The logistics of household hurricane evacuation 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Although there is a substantial amount of research on households’ hurricane evacuation decision making, there is much less
research on the logistical issues involved in implementing those evacuations. The limited research on household evacuation
logistics has consistently shown that most evacuees stay in the homes of friends and relatives or in commercial facilities
rather than in public shelters. However, evacuation logistics—which can be defined as the activities and associated resources
needed to reach a safe location and remain there until it is safe to return—encompasses a much broader range of behaviors
than this. The present study extends previous research by reporting data on other aspects of evacuation logistics such as
departure timing, vehicle use, evacuation routes, travel distance, shelter type, evacuation duration, and evacuation cost.
Hurricane Lili evacuation data at the county level are generally consistent with the data from previous hurricanes, but there
is notable variation across counties studied here. There were only modest correlations of demographic and geographic variables
with the evacuation logistics variables, a result that indicates further research is needed to better understand what happens
between the time an evacuation decision is made and the time re-entry is begun. Moreover, research is needed to understand
the logistics of evacuation by special populations such as transients and households with disabled members. 相似文献

This study evaluates the effects of deforestation and land-use change, as compared to natural controls, on stream water chemistry in the Subandean Amazon. Dissolved major and trace elements were determined near the stream outlet of 48 independent watersheds with varying morphology, bed rock composition and intactness of forest cover (pristine to highly exploited). Geomorphological characteristics were derived from a digital elevation model, geological formations from digitalized maps and forest cover from digital classification of SPOT satellite images. Partial least square regression and multiple linear regression showed that watershed average elevation, which ranged between 396 and 1649 m, was the strongest control on stream water chemistry, explaining >70% of the variation in K and a considerable part also for Mn, U, Mg and HCO3 with near exponential concentration increases down the altitude gradient. Forest cover, which ranged between 7% and 99%, correlated strongly with average elevation (Spearman correlation coefficient, rs = 0.8), but had no statistically significant impact on stream solute concentrations. Thus, in the studied Subandean region, watershed scale deforestation has not resulted in measurable impacts on stream water chemistry which is dominated by the spatial variation in natural controls. 相似文献

This article describes the challenges confronting local authorities who must decide if and when to initiate evacuations from
tropical cyclones. This problem can be decomposed into the behavior of the hurricane that is relevant to evacuation and the
behavior of evacuees that is relevant to the hurricane. The uncertain behavior of these two systems can be modeled in an evacuation
management decision support system (EMDSS). The hurricane EMDSS described here displays information about the minimum, most,
and maximum probable evacuation time estimates (ETEs) in comparison to the earliest, most, and latest probable estimated times
of arrival (ETAs) for storm conditions. In addition, EMDSS calculates the cost of false positive (the economic cost of an
evacuation) and false negative (lives lost in a late evacuation) decision errors. EMDSS is being used in experiments to assess
different information displays, team compositions, community characteristics, and hurricane scenarios. In addition, it will
be used in training and actual hurricane operations. Finally, definition of the program’s requirements has identified further
research needed to build a better empirical base for its input data. 相似文献

Managing evacuees’ reentry into their communities after an evacuation can be a major challenge for emergency managers, especially in instances when evacuees return before the official all-clear message. Despite the frequency of post-evacuation reentry into evacuated areas, there have been few studies of this process and the issues returnees expect and experience during the return phase. A survey of evacuees after Hurricane Ike indicates that household compliance with reentry plans was low, with only a minority of returnees (38 %) complying with official reentry plans. An examination of reentry concerns shows that minority ethnicity, lower education, and lower income were associated with higher levels of reentry concerns and, to a lesser extent, with problems experienced after returning. Results also indicate that none of the demographic variables correlated significantly with compliance with official reentry plans and only higher income predicted later entry. However, concerns about reentry traffic predicted earlier reentry and concern about physical risk was related to reentry plan compliance. This study provides insight into the concerns that motivate households’ reentry decisions and can inform the creation of return strategies that account for people’s concerns about their hurricane-impacted communities. 相似文献

When the ecological effects of the proposed Qattara Hydrosolar Power Project were investigated, a number of submarine ridges were found in Arabs Gulf, Egypt.Those ridges were of unconsolidated oolitic origin, which was of critical importance for the water intake conditions of the Qattara Project. They were scientifically extremely interesting as being the first recent oolites ever found in the Mediterranean. The ridges have been studied concerning the geology, morphology and the water dynamics both in the field and from different satellite sensors‐MSS, TM and SPOT. Satellite mapping of the structure of the ridges, benthic algae and geology has been performed. The identification of the benthic algae has been accomplished by a semi‐manual box‐classifier technique. A new accurate depth chart of Arabs Gulf has been constructed using TM data calibrated against echosoundings. By creating a synthetical digital terrain model of the bed‐rock of Arabs Gulf and comparing it with the satellite image the amount of oolitic material of the bay has been estimated. The character and location of the ridges has been compared with similar oolitic forms in the West Indies. 相似文献

Forest clearing through slash and burn to open up agricultural land is an ongoing process in large parts of the Amazon Basin. This activity severely affects the structure and balance of the natural ecosystem, and also has the potential to cause substantial changes in landscape geochemistry. The latter is the topic of this study, with special attention on translocation of potentially toxic trace elements from deforested areas to downstream aquatic and terrestrial systems. Sampling of floodplain sediments and mountain soils (Inceptisols on redbed lithologies) was carried out in two adjacent Subandean river basins, with deforestation extents of ca. 1/3 and 2/3 of the basin areas. Several toxic and potentially toxic metals (e.g., Hg, Cd, Pb, Cu and Ni) and other major and minor elements showed concentration peaks at certain depths in the alluvial deposits of both basins. These peaks were associated with organic matter, and occurred just below layers of combustion residues originating from burning of in situ biomass. Downward migration of particles originating in the combustion residues is suggested to be the direct mechanisms of the metal enrichments. Further evidence of an in situ origin of the metal peaks in the sediments was provided by the geochemical composition of soils located upstream of the floodplains. Disturbed soils (i.e. soils of pasture, coffee plantations, secondary forest and recently swidden fields) were found to be similar to soils under natural forest. Moreover, trace element concentrations in floodplain deposits were similar in the two drainage basins despite the large difference in exploitation degree. Thus, no evidence was found of large scale (basin-wide) increases in trace-metal leaching or translocation as a result of the extensive deforestation and agricultural land-use that has been practiced in the Amazonian highland jungle over more than 100 a. 相似文献
