    Coastal Flooding In The Uk Case Study

    Greater London is an example that is protected by the Thames Barrier which is one of the largest movable flood barriers in the world. However the protection it provides London costs billion and the barrier is raised even higher in the last few years. Furthermore, the barrier protects canary wharf, one of the world's major financial hubs. The area is at risk to flooding as banks and industries are threatened by the Thames storm surges from the sea. If this financial industry floods, many businesses in London may close plus, unemployment will occur which is social risk as well as…

    Analisys Paper

    In his essay “Planning to Prevent Natural Hazards from Becoming Natural Disaster,” author Geoff N Boughton explains any disaster that has occurred in an area can happen again, and other disasters are always a possibility. The use of appropriate building design, construction and planning methods can minimize the effects of significant natural event. Because of the varying of an event that its sufficient intense occurs in populated area therefore if the planning, design and construction of assets is not adequate to resist loads place on them, then there is a high probability that damage will result. Boughton defines a risk measure of potential to cause damage, he establishes the circumstances required to turn natural hazard into a disaster. In many instance countries like Australia is a large nation that has wide variety of unfortunate geographical conditions they have experience many natural hazards on a regular basis such as tropical cyclones, strong wind events, flooding, earthquakes, bushfires, soil erosion, and loss of arable land, hail, blizzards, and severe frosts. For instance Boughton describes his three basic elements to risk in the context of natural hazards. Each of these basic elements has to be presented in order to say there is potential damage.…

    Natural Disaster Strikes In New Orleans

    The advancement of technology and the progress of man makes humans feel as though we are invincible, but when a natural disaster strikes we are reminded that Mother Nature still cannot be tamed and can strike at any time without warning. We have seen this in the past weeks with hurricane Harvey flooding Houston and displacing people who never in their life thought that their houses and neighborhoods might be underwater one day and left with nothing. Similar to current events, this image shows New Orleans, one of the largest cities in the world being put to its knees at the mercy of Mother Nature. As buildings are shrouded in the heavy rain and trees sagging in torrential winds. Being faced with such astounding force it’s easy to remember…

    Flood Insurance During Hurricane Katrina

    Flooding has been a continual issue since the first settlers arrived in America. Using methods to deter and/or collect water protects the communities living in that area, but proper maintenance to those barriers must be ensured. Without proper maintenance to these infrastructures, levees can break, dams can crack or collapse leaving disaster behind. Hurricane Katrina’s faulty levees reveal the extreme consequences of neglecting these protectors in places where people depend on them (Wenger, 247). There were many devastating disasters that prompted new analysis and evaluation on flooding conditions and methods to reduce damage and cost. Flood insurance was established for areas that are located within the floodplain (302), as well as the…

    Comparing Floods.

    I am going to discuss two case studies regarding floods. One of my case studies is of Cocker mouth, this is a town in England exposed to floods this is my case study of an MEDC. My other case study is the LEDC in which I talk about Bangladesh. Cocker mouth is situated in the Lake District in England. England is an MEDC and this area experienced vast ranges of flooding during late November. The town lies among the confluence of two rivers that leave it prone to flooding. The two rivers are the Derwent and Cocker. 320mm of rainfall fell in under 24 hours and this was a predicted fall which took the town by surprise. The River Cocker burst its banks after a 2.5 metre rise in the river water level; this was a major contribution to the flooding as well as the poor preparation of the towns flood defences.…

    Hurricane Katrina

    Hurricane Katrina left in its wake an estimated 300,00 homes either destroyed or made uninhabitable, and somewhere between $96 - $125 billion dollars in damages (Kimberly Armadeo). New Orleans is surrounded by water and in many cases, below sea level. Although there are many protective levees and barriers in place to protect residents from storms, a powerful storm surge like the one brought in from Hurricane Katrina, can easily top the walls and leave the city trapped in a flood for weeks. Emergency officials agree that many of the buildings in these areas would not survive the winds of a high category storm in this situation (McQuaid and Schleifstein, 2002). Billions of dollars have been invested in levees, sea walls, pumping systems and satellite hurricane tracking that has saved thousands over the years (McQuaid and Schleifstein, 2002). Despite these new tools, Hurricane Katrina still managed to catch New Orleans off guard with the magnitude of destruction it brought leaving a death toll of more than 1,200 and putting tens of thousands out of their homes (Michael L. Dolfman, Solidelle Fortier, and Bruce Bergman, 2007).…

    New York State: Natural Disaster Sustainability Program: Preparing for the Next Major Hurricane

    It is an unfortunate reality that societies seem willing to invest in adequate flood risk reduction only after large disasters. The hurricane protection system of New Orleans was improved at a cost of about $14 billion after the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina. The storm surge flooding of 1953 in the Netherlands caused enormous damage and the loss of more than 1,800 lives. This prompted the development of a comprehensive system of storm surge barriers, gates and levees to protect the Southwest of the Netherlands against these events (Jonkman, 2012).…

    Insurance companies are starting to deny flood claims to those living in Tewkesbury because the town is vulnerable to flooding. This is because its beside two sizeable rivers which cause it to have a very high flood risk. Ms Shepard has been with her insurance company for 23 years but her most recent flood claim has been rejected because she lives too close to a river. This is resulting in her worrying that she will never get cover again, but also it will make it even harder to sell her home in the future.

    Technology in Context

    The first reading, by Weibe E. BIjker, compared two historical papers from the 1996 International Conference on Coastal Engineering, specifically the US and Dutch styles , as they differ in the role of civil society, geography, politics, management style and focus. Of the 15 countries involved in the conference, only the US and Dutch papers gave a central role to natural disasters in shaping coastal engineering practice. American civil engineers “recognize the boost that disasters can give to public awareness and coastal engineering research, however little effort is made to follow up on government funded projects due to the costs of monitoring. For this reason, much the focus of US coastal engineering is on documenting the events and effects of natural disasters after they occur, resulting in a lack of effective coastal engineering practice and strategy. In the Netherlands ‘De Ramp’ was influential in both public consciousness and the coastal engineering profession. It served to boost research and practice, and more importantly, spurred forceful strategies to “keep the water out”. This brings us to the key differences in US and Dutch coastal engineering styles: ‘flood hazard mitigation’ versus ‘keeping the water out’. The US model assumes the disaster will occur and its institutions focus on prediction and warning (Weather Service), protection (USACE) and insurance (FEMA). The environmental…
