Ab: An investigation of a roadway landslide in heavily overconsolidated Trinidad clay is presented. The slide occurred due to the combination of softening of the subsoils and unfavourable pore-water pressure during a period of heavy rainfall. The mechanism leading to the occurrence of these conditions was deep cracks formed as a result of desiccation. Progressive movement of the slide area was noticeable about five years prior to the sudden failure that occurred on December 26, 1979. The slide area was rehabilitated using retaining walls on both sides of the roadway along with a large diameter culvert to facilitate quick removal of storm and surface run-off.

So: Earth Surface Processes and Landforms; 13: 9-17, 1988. Ab: Numerous soil pipes are reported from a small catchment in an area of Kandoid (kaolin-rich) soils and 2375 mm annual rainfall in the humid tropical volcanic island of Dominica, West Indies. Two spot surveys in August 1982 at baseflow during the wet season indicated that pipes contributed at least 14-16 percent of streamflow. Sampled pipe-flow was of similar chemical composition to the baseflow dominated streamwater. Specific conductance (249-420 uS cm-1) and silica (75 mg 1 -1) levels of pipeflow were high and suggested that the pipes tapped solute rich water close to the soil rock interface. The principal pipes flow perennially and showed little response to daily rainfalls of up to m3mn during the monitoring period. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library. ID: 5 Ti: The earthquake at Port Royal.

Ab: This study documents the complicated bureaucratic process of relief, recovery and rehabilitation. The nature of the hazard is discussed and long-term mitigation strategies are proposed. The experience of Preston - the slope movements of March 1986 destroyed the village of Preston, Parish of St. Mary, Jamaica and was related to lateral spreading - has shown that (1) there are no specific guidelines or legislative framework within which the State may effectively assist its citizenry in the event of natural disasters, and (ii) as a society we are not prepared to deal with and manage the landslide hazard. These observations may be valid worldwide for developing countries. The slope movements which affected Preston are likely to be repeated in other communities in St. Mary; therefore the need for a National Landslide Management Programme is indicated. The Preston experience suggests that it is the responsibility of the local population to learn about the hazard and to prepare itself accordingly. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

Ti: Aspects of slope stability in relation to road design in the Commonwealth of Dominica Ab: This paper concerns the stability of natural slopes in the central and eastern areas of the Commonwealth of Dominica, West Indies. A specific study of landslides on the island has not been conducted in the past; however valuable information regarding the soil properties and behavior was gathered by the authors during a road design contract. The island is geologically young and there is heavy rainfall in the area where the landslides occur. The predominant soil type is a well graded high plasticity material, the details of whose properties and behavior are presented. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

Au: Molina, Medardo; Gray, Calvin R. Ti: Frequency distribution of hurricanes and tropical storms in Jamaica. Co: 1st Annual National Conference on Science and Technology; Kingston, Apr. 27-29, 1987. 10 Ab: Records from 1900 to 1980 of hurricanes and tropical storms occurring over the 5 - degree grid bounded by 15N75W, 20N80W and 20N75W within which Jamaica is located, have been analysed to determine their annual and monthly frequency distribution. It has been found out that the number of occurrences per year of hurricanes and tropical storms, taken separately, approach Poisson distribution with a=0.51 and a=0154 respectively. The monthly frequency distribution of both events combined shows that they are most likely to occur during September, August or October with a probability of 34, 26 and 24 percent, respectively. May, June, July and November account for the remaining 16 percent. These findings have practical value as these events are disaster sources and the country is engaged in a flood plain mapping project as part of its disaster preparedness programme; they may also be useful for other countries in the Caribbean region where there are no such extensive records.

Ab: Records from 1886 to 1986 of hurricanes (H), tropical storms (S), tropical depressions (D) and all tropical cyclones (C=H+S+D) occurring in the Jamaica were analysed to identify a distribution that would fit the annual occurrence of these events and also to determine their annual and monthly distribution. It has been found that the number of occurrences per year of hurricanes, tropical storms and tropical depressions, taken separately, approach Poisson distribution with 1.7030, 1.7822 and 0.8889 respectively. It was found, however that in the Jamaica area, the annual occurrence of these events when combined did not fit the Poisson distribution. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

Ab: The UNEP/CARICOM project was undertaken because of the over-abundant evidence of pollution in the Caribbean Sea (mainly from land-based sources); and because of the detrimental effects of the numerous pollution sources on coastal ecosystems (particularly fisheries and coral reefs), which form a protective barrier to coastlines and coastal property, and on amenities providing marine recreational activity for tourist industries. The latter industries are extremely vital to the financial viability of most of the small islands that comprise the numerical majority of the countries of the Caribbean Community. The main areas on which the investigation and questionnaires focussed were domestic waste, mainly sewage and excreta disposal, and solid waste management: agricultural waste: industrial processes, and waste treatment and disposal: air pollution and coastal developments and their impingement on coastal ecosystems. The results of the data collected offer a comparatively accurate quantifiable evaluation of pollution loads on coastal ecosystems, land and subsurface resources. Lo: UWI, Science Library. ID: 25 Au: Pan American Health Organisation. Ti: Report on disasters and emergency preparedness for Jamaica, St. Vincent, and Dominica. Pub: Washington, D.C.; Pan Health Health Organisation; 93. Ab: In 1979 the Caribbean was struck by three consecutive disasters: In April the Soufriere Volcano in St. Vincent erupted, forcing the authorities to temporarily resettle 20 percent of the population. In July, floods caused extensive damage to the western parishes in Jamaica. In September, Dominica was left in a state of shock and complete destruction by Hurricane David one of the most powerful hurricanes of this century. In all these disasters the immediate aftermath was characterized by uncertainty and fear of communicable disease outbreaks. In order to monitor closely what occurs following major disasters, specific post-disaster epidemiologic surveillance systems have been proposed. This report describes the experiences with setting up such surveillance systems in the Caribbean following the disasters in St. Vincent, Jamaica and Dominica. Most of the outbreaks or potential risk situations were associated with the disaster relief efforts. The report's conclusions and recommendations for future work in setting up epidemiologic surveillance systems following natural disasters are as follows: 1. Epidemiologic surveillance systems following disasters should be organized quickly and be creative and very dynamic. 2. The surveillance system as described in this report will detect outbreaks if they occur. The drawback of the system is that it can easily detect "outbreaks" where there are none. 3. All of the outbreaks detected could have been prevented by adequate disease control measures following the disaster. In fact, most of the outbreaks detected were associated with the disaster relief effort. In 1979 the Caribbean was struck by three consecutive disasters.

Au: Molina, Medardo; McDonald, Franklin. Ti: Sink holes management and floodings in Jamaica. Pub: s.l.; s.n.; n.d.. 5. Ab: More than 518 sq.m (200 sq.mi) of prime lands in Jamaica lay on Karstic material where sink holes are the natural outlet of important streams. Due to increasing social pressures, the lands are inappropriately managed and as a consequence, vegetal debris and silting have plugged the sink holes which have thus lost their capacity to drain the run-off produced during heavy rainfalls. One of these areas is Cave Valley, which during the last 30 years has been affected by at least six floodings, some of which have produced losses of life and property, in a section of the Jamaican population which is already under severe economic hardship. A flood prevention and mitigation project is being implemented including watershed management, river training and community preparedness. A geologic, hydrologic analysis are also part of this study. All these measures are expected to reduce future losses. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library. ID: 29 Au: Pierson, T. C. Ti: Soil pipes and slope stability. Pub: s.l.; s.n.; n.d.. 11. Ab: Experimentation with a Hele-Shaw viscous-flow analogue apparatus has supported earlier suggestions based on field evidence that a causal link exists between some soil pipes and slope failure. The analogue has shown that when a pipe is blocked or is a dead-end passageway (a closed pipe), the cavity can readily fill with water during rainstorms. Pipes partially filled with standing water will generate pore pressure in the surrounding soil matrix in proportion to the hydrostatic head achieved. Long pipes parallel to the fall line of the Slope have the potential, when partially filled with water, of generating soil pore-water pressures much greater than those generated by total saturation of the soil. Such pore-pressure increases could trigger land-slides at sites that would otherwise be stable. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.
