ID: 1300 Au: Oostdam, Ben L. Ti: Toxic substances in the coastal environment of the US Virgin Islands. So: In: Larue, David K. ed; Draper, Grenville. ed. Transactions of the 12th Caribbean Geological Conference. Miami, Miami Geological Society, Dec. 1990. 282-9. Co: 12th Caribbean Geological Conference; St. Croix, 7-11, Aug. 1989. Ab: A two phase investigation was made of the concentration levels of toxic substances in the marine sediments and coastal waters around the US Virgin Islands. The Pilot Phase, March 1986, served to screen six composites of three bottom samples each, representing the main pollution impact areas and a control, for all 129 EPA priority toxic substances. Based on the virtual absence of any toxic organics in any of these composites, the Main Phase, July/August 1986, concentrated on sampling and analyzing for the 13 priority toxic trace elements in pairs of samples of seawater and marine sediment at 24 locations around the three islands. Locally elevated concentrations were found of several trace elements, especially Ni, Pb, Zn and Cu. Highest contamination occurred in the fine muds off HOVIC, St. Croix and Mangrove Lagoon, St. Thomas. By contrast, concentrations at the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall off St. Croix were significantly below average. The order of degree of pollution by island was St. Croix St. Thomas St. John. Very low correlation was found for trace element levels in marine sediments and in adjacent terrestrial rocks and soil analysed by USGS, suggesting that erosion contributes little to the trace element distribution pattern, with the possible exception of Ni. Distribution of Hg and Pb can be partly explained from transport by the predominant trade winds. Other 'hot spots', e.g. Cu and Zn in harbours, clearly result from point sources of anthropogenic inputs. In conclusion, the USVI marine environment is relatively pure and impacts of inorganic trace elements are largely localised. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

Ab: The OFDA/USAID response to the need for electrical power restoration on St. Kitts, Nevis and Montserrat following extensive damage by hurricane Hugo, was to obtain the Lloyd Electric team from USAID/Kingston and to put them to work on restoring power to the three islands. Technical assistance was provided to St. Kitts from October 3 to 16, when electrical service was restored; on Nevis from October 3 to November 18 when service was restored; on Montserrat from November 18 to January 9 and further extended to February 16 when it is estimated that 90 per cent of electrical power will be restored. Recommendations are made for hurricane preparedness for Caribbean electrical utility systems as well as recommended initial actions for restoration by the utility following damage by hurricanes.

Department of Geography; Mar. 1990. 21. Co: Conference on Small Island Development; Valetta, 24-28, Mar. 1990. Ab: Two important constraints on agricultural development in Jamaica are singled out for attention i.e. (1) the deep-rooted structural dualism which characterises the country's agricultural systems, and pervades and influences the direction of policy; and (2) the periodic disruption caused by natural hazards. Summarizes the evolution of the rural economy to show how the dual agricultural economy emerged from the country's colonial history and the island's geography imposed its own patterning. Agricultural policy has favoured either component depending on the political party in power. Data is presented to illustrate the devastating impact of Hurricane Gilbert and its effects on the agricultural sector. Lo: Barbados, Caribbean Disaster and Emergency Response Agency.

Pub: Port of Spain; University of the West Indies, St. Augustine; 1990. 22. Co: Seminar on Catastrophes: Before and After; Port of Spain, 16, May, 1990. Ab: Discusses current Caribbean experiences with hurricane disasters based on two case studies of Hurricane Gilbert which struck Jamaica on 12th September 1988 and Hurricane Hugo which struck Montserrat on 17th September 1989. On the basis of damage observations made from these two case studies some lessons to be learnt and some approaches to preparedness for such disasters are presented. The paper concludes with a number of recommendations on measures to be adopted in the Caribbean in order to mitigate damage from hurricanes.

Ab: Hurricane Hugo struck the island of Montserrat during the early hours of 17th September 1989. Three days after, environmental health surveillance revealed unsatisfactory conditions in shelters with inadequate water supplies and faecal disposal. Water was trucked to centres and a pit latrine programme commenced so that by the end of September, all shelters had acceptable faecal disposal facilities. Islandwide symptom-based daily report diseases surveillance was introduced seven days after the hurricane for respiratory infections and gastroenteritis.

Ab: Attempts to review and assess the vulnerability of residential communities to industrial activities which are carried on in close proximity. It reviews several typical situations to be found in Trinidad and Tobago and offers a number of recommendations to assist in rationalising and monitoring industrial development and placing it, as it should be, as part of national planning for development. The central recommendation is for the creation of a separate agency or unit, properly staffed with the requisite specialist skills and given the necessary legal authority to investigate, advise, monitor and regulate the development and impact of industry on the health and welfare of citizens and the environment.

By presenting industrial disaster preparedness as part of a broader disaster preparedness strategy, the paper argues first for a National Policy on Industrialisation within which industrial disaster preparedness would be but a part. The paper then calls for a consolidation of all existing legislation which deals with the question as well as for major and urgent law reform with respect to industrial disaster preparedness.

Seismic Research Unit; 1996. 8. Ab: In Jamaica's relatively short history of seismic activity, there are numerous reports of destructive earthquakes, most notably those in 1692 and 1907. The last thirty years have seen attempts to build a network of monitoring instruments to encourage research into Jamaican seismicity. So far not enough has been achieved because of inadequacy of the existing network. Here, what is needed has been outlined. Costs to build an ideal network are estimated to be US$583,605.00 (Ja$4M), which is not too high an investment in light of the eventual benefits that will be afforded by the system.

Proceedings of the Fifteenth Caribbean Geological Conference (abstract). Kingston, University of the West Indies (Mona). Department of Geography and Geology, 1998. 72. Co: Fifteenth Caribbean Geological Conference; Kingston, 29, Jun. – 2, Jul. 1998. Ab: Landslide susceptibility analysis was undertaken covering an area of some 554 km2 in the parishes of Kingston, St. Andrew and the Portmore area of St. Catherine, which host a population of approximately 650,000. The aim of this study is to produce a hazard map that identifies areas where future landsliding is most likely to occur. This map forewarns planners and engineers of slope instability constraints on the mountainous terrain north and east of the Liguanea Plain, where urban expansion is currently taking place. This study is a part of the Kingston Multi-Hazard Assessment Project and was supported by the Caribbean Disaster Mitigation Project (USAID/OAS). We mapped some 2,321 landslides which were subdivided into active, scarps (definite, probable and questionable) covering some 19.8 km2 or 3.57 percent of the entire study area; 4.77 percent of the area is mountainous, excluding the Liguanea Plain. Landslide susceptibility analysis was performed using the matrix approach of DeGraff and Rosemberg. The digital data were analysed by IDRISI for Windows v. 2.0. Factor maps prepared included lithology, distance to fault, slope angle and slope aspect. Deep versus shallow landslides were analysed separately. The susceptibility maps have been prepared at a scale of 1.50,000. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.
