So: Journal of Sedimentary Petrology; 58(4):724-38, 1988. Ab: Hurricane-generated, thinly bedded grainstones are the dominant style of stratification on the carbonate tidal-flat complex on Caicos Platform, British West Indies. This is in dramatic contrast to the winter-storm-generated millimeter-thick laminae which dominate stratification on the northwest Andros tidal flats and have become the general criteria for recognizing ancient carbonate tidal-flat sequences. Hurricane Kate, which passed directly across the Caicos tidal flats on 18 November, 1985, provided an opportunity both to document the character and distribution of a specific storm-sediment layer and to evaluate the role of hurricanes in moulding the geometry of the tidal-flat system.

Ab: The Seismic Research Unit of the University of the West Indies first began its operations in Jamaica in 1963 with the installation of a single vertical component seismometer. Since 1963 the number of stations has increased and presently there is a network of five short period vertical component seismometers linked by radio telemetry to the base recording station at the Mona Campus of the University of the West Indies. Seismic events are recorded on 600 metre reels of magnetic tape and the position of each event is located and the magnitude and epicentre determined. In addition to the network of seismic stations there are six strong motion accelerographs which are deployed in high rise buildings in urban and rural Jamaica. Since their installation in the mid 1970's, only one earthquake in 1978 yielded a good strong motion record. In 1983 the Jamaica Bureau of Standards introduced a National Building Code for engineers in which it recommends that structures be designed according to the code of the Structural Engineers Association of California.

Ti: Mapping the volcanic hazards from Soufriere Hills volcano, Montserrat, West Indies using an image processor. Pub:St. Augustine; University of the West Indies, Seismic Research Unit; 1988. 12.. Ab: Used a digital model of the topography of Montserrat, a simple mathematical model of gravitational flow and some assumptions of the way in which the next eruption will develop to create a map of the volcanic hazards from Soufriere Hills Volcano. This has been done using an image processing computer to simulate the deposits produced by pyroclastic flows. This technique has the advantages over more traditional cartographic methods of spatial precision, rapid computation of multiple eruption models and the explicit nature of the physical model used. Soufriere Hills Volcano is a small andesitic volcano characterised by a cluster of summit domes and an apron of pyroclastic flow deposits and mudflows upon which several thousand people now live. The modelling is constrained by field evidence from the deposits of previous eruptions. Although the evidence is not good enough to model individual flow units, the cumulative deposits can be used. From the eruption deposit models was created a new type of map specifically for emergency planning. This sequential hazard zone map attempts to portray the regions that would be at hazard from pyroclastic flows during successive stages from the start of an eruption whose energy release was increasing with time.

Kingston , University of the West Indies, 1988. 80-81 Co: UWIDITE/IDRC Workshop on Computer-Based Communication for Caribbean Development; Kingston, 28-30, Mar. 1988. Ab: Access to relevant information, availibility of means of reliable communications, and the ability to transfer data quickly is important to the process of disaster management. Computer-based communications systems have become a normal part of emergency operations. The Pan Caribbean Disaster Preparedness and Prevention Project(PCDPPP) has been linked with the UNDRONET system since November 1987. PCDPPP is seeking to establish a network of contacts and a computerized networking system can facilitate services such as: - operational information for complex disaster incidents; - situation reports with real-time updates; - case studies; - bibliographic and other services associated with conventional information services. PCDPPP will depend on the availability of efficient regional data communication systems to ensure timely, useful and productive service for the emergency management interests in the region.

Pub:Kingston; Jamaica. Office of Disaster Preparedness; 1988. Ab: Effect of man's activities in the upland regions of Jamaica is accelerated erosion rates and increased runoff. The loss of topsoil leads to decreased fertility of the soil and the flood potential of rivers in these watersheds is increased by the large influx of sediment. High rates of sedimentation in rivers increases the flood potential of these rivers by reducing the channels and in some cases, blocking the channel. The resultant elevated water levels causes flooding in low lying areas. Lo: Barbados, Caribbean Disaster and Emergency Response Agency. ID: 958 Au: Goddard, Donald.

ID: 969 Au: Granger, Orman E. Ti: Geographical events and social change in the eastern Caribbean. Ab: It is shown that in the aftermath of the disaster triggered by hurricanes and a volcanic eruption changes occurred in the economies of some of the islands both in the restoration and reconstruction periods. Changes occurred in the political power structure and in the political philosophy of the ruling parties. Further, that recovery from devastation depended on external aid that proved to be a bane to economic independence and self determination. The structure of, and interrelationships within social organisations particularly the family were modified as demographic shifts and migrations in search of housing and employment occurred. It is further shown that neither societal vulnerability nor resiliency has improved despite that trauma. Lo: Barbados, Caribbean Disaster and Emergency Response Agency.

Co: International Symposium of the Working Group on Tropical Climatology and Human Settlements of the International Geographical Union; Kingston, 4-7, Aug. 1987. Ab: There is evidence of macro-climatic change in at least some parts of the Caribbean region. In keeping with this trend, the land-surface climate of the fall and Hope river basins in Jamaica is manifesting evidence of progressive desiccation and increasing seasonality of precipitation. Xeric anthropogenic environmental pressures are the causative factors in this change towards a lower-yield biotic eco-regime. Water resources are also being adversely affected throughout the basins.

Co: International Symposium of the Working Group on Tropical Climatology and Human Settlements of the International Geographical Union; Kingston, 4-7, Aug. 1987. Ab: The positivism subsumed in studies of natural disasters is gradually being replaced by theories which consider them as part natural and part environmental, societal economic and attitudinal. A revised agenda for dealing with natural hazards and the concomitant disasters must include education on the political and social levels, and the identification of a range of options for dealing with potential disasters. Policy on disaster mitigation must be drawn interactively with potential victims and integrated into the development planning process. Lo: Barbados, Caribbean Disaster and Emergency Response Agency.
Au: Wadge, Geoffrey; Isaacs, Michael C. Ti: Volcanic hazards from Soufriere Hills volcano, Montserrat, West Indies. Pub: St. Augustine; University of the West Indies, Seismic Research Unit; 1988. 70. Ab: Soufriere Hills volcano is active and will erupt again. It is a potential threat to many of the people that live in Southern Montserrat. Future eruptions will involve the creation of pyroclastic flows and surges and mudflows on the flanks associated with the growth of a dome of lava within a specific region around the summit. The deposits and effects of such eruptions are very dangerous. Relevant aspects of the geology of the island are discussed including the results of previous geological mapping and monitoring of the volcano-seismic crises in 1966-67, 1933-37 and 1897-98, when the volcano may have come close to erupting. Computer models were used to simulate the effects of a wide variety of eruptions. Results are presented and incorporated into maps of volcanic hazards. Suggests that emergency planning should allow for the three possible types of eruption and that some consideration be given to strategies for mitigating the damage done to the island by the loss during eruption of the centralised facilities in Plymouth. Land use planning should take account of the mudflow hazards and the high risk area east of English's crater. Lo: Barbados, Caribbean Disaster and Emergency Response Agency.

Au: O'Hara, Martin. Ti: Floods, flood damage and flood risk assessment in tropical environments: a Jamaican case study. Pub: Exeter; s.n; 467. Th: Submitted to University of Exeter presented for the degree Ph.D. Ab: The crisis following a flood disaster in 1979 in western Jamaica demonstrated that the country was not prepared for the impact of severe natural hazards. Post-disaster reconstruction and rehabilitation planning was seriously constrained by a fundamental lack of knowledge of the severity of the natural processes that had led to the disaster. This thesis suggests appropriate disaster mitigation measures that may be used to reduce the vulnerability of western Jamaica to flood hazards in the future. Flood risk in the region is studied, and the recurrence/frequencies of the floods in 1979 are estimated. The geomorphological significance of the event is assessed, and general damage to buildings and to the road system is evaluated. Traditional responses to risk problems are considered and, because they are found to be in need of improvement, a flood risk management system is developed for the region. The vulnerability of western Jamaica to floods is assessed, and a risk model is designed to assist the development of land-use planning policies. Improved methods of flood prediction are proposed, and recommendations are made for improvements in building and engineering practices to mitigate the effects of future disasters. Contingency plans are developed to improve the efficiency and quality of post-disaster surveys following future impacts, so that effective rehabilitation and reconstruction planning may take place.
