41. Natural Disasters Floods Page, Floods are the most common and widespread of all the natural disasters. Winterstorms are at their worst when blizzard conditions prevail. http://www.angelfire.com/sc3/fizisist/page20.htm

In our restless and violent planet, natural disasters can be sudden and without warning, like earthquakes, or predictable like hurricanes. In whatever form they present themselves, the effect upon lives and property can be catastrophic. Millions of lives have been, (and continue to be) lost, and billions of dollars of damage has been caused by the furious power of nature, greater than anything that could be produced by man. I obviously cannot go into great depth on this subject in one webpage, but I can relate to you some of the major disaters that have occurred throughout the World. All you need to do is click on one of the icons below. Earthquakes happen along the known fault lines in the Earth's crust (see my pages on Plate Tectonics and The Earth's Crust ). Although they usually last for less than one minute, earthquakes can be felt over considerable distances. Their effects can vary from a gentle shake, with a noise no more than the sound of a door slamming, leaving you wondering what it was, to the almost total destruction of a town and all of it's buildings. Floods are the most common and widespread of all the natural disasters. They are the number one killer, with 80 percent of deaths occuring when the drivers of vehicles attempt to navigate flood water, not realizing that (a) the underlying surface has been undermined by the force of the floodwater, and (b) as little as 2 feet of flowing water can float vehicles as large as a bus, which can then be swept away. An astonishing 95 percent of people killed by flash floods, when in panic, they attempt to outrun the waters instead of climbing to high ground.

I wonder if it would freeze the water causing water impassable to only but the strongest of hulls. Causes the ground to violently shake, this can destroy an entire city if the buildings are not properly built. No info but if this happens you could be out of waters and soon fires would start from the dryness. Fire can destroy wood, in theory this would be very useful, only if used correctly, if mishandled you could be loosing more than a forest. Floods occur when your monsoons continue for too long or when water power plants explode, causing massive floods. Hurricanes are said to be the greatest natural disasters because they can cause other disasters along with their high winds and swelling seas. Keep your ships away from this one.

Members Only Channel Search Site Map BookStore ... Home Family Readiness Kit Preparing to Handle Disasters What Are Winter Storms? A winter storm can range from a moderate snow over a few hours to blizzard conditions with blinding wind-driven snow that lasts several days. Some winters may be large enough to affect several states, while others may affect only a single community. Many winter storms are accompanied by low temperatures and heavy and/or blowing snow, which can severely reduce visibility. Why Talk About Winter Storms? A major winter storm can last for several days and be accompanied by high winds, freezing rain or sleet, heavy snowfall, and cold temperature. People can become trapped at home, without utilities or other services. Heavy snowfall and blizzards can trap motorists in their cars. Attempting to walk for help in a blizzard can be a deadly decision. What Can I Do To Prepare for a Winter Storm? In addition to completing the 4 Steps to Safety, do the following: Learn about your area's winter storm risk. Contact your local Red Cross chapter and emergency management office for your area's winter storm risk. Understand the hazards of wind chill, which combines the cooling effect of wind and cold temperature on exposed skin.

RESPONSE TO SEVERE WINTER AND BLIZZARD CONDITIONS IN GRUNDY AND BUCHANAN COUNTY, VIRGINIA, IN 1996: A FOCUS GROUP ANALYSIS ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION This is a report of the first phases of a study of response to the blizzard conditions by people living in Buchanan County, Virginia, during the winter of 1995 - 1996. It is intended to add further to the body of knowledge about how people respond to some of the difficulties associated with winter blizzard conditions. The research question as stated in our proposal to the Natural Hazards Research and Applications Information Center was ". . . to examine the problem of how people help one another in dealing with the problems created by blizzards. We are especially interested in the coping behavior which takes place during the peak intensity of the storm, when it is impossible or almost impossible to move about."

Natural Disasters in Nebraska Natural Disasters have been occurring foreverbefore they were disasters. The following sites will allow you to explore these natural occurring activities and how man has adapted to the forces of nature. The activities and resources are designed by grade level and matched to the Nebraska State Education Standards. The information compiled here will give you general facts and information, related activities, myths, history, safety issues, protection, helps after the destruction, careers, resources, assessments and meeting Nebraska state standards. FLOODS-Flooding can happen in every U.S. state and territory. It is a result of heavy rains that cause rivers and streams to overflow, ocean waves coming onshore, snow melting too fast or dams or levees breaking. A flood may be only a few inches of water or it may cover a whole house or community. No matter how severe, a flood can be very destructive for humans, animals and property. They are the most common of all natural hazards! TORNADOES-A tornado is a violent windstorm characterized by a twisting, funnel-shaped cloud. The winds range from 40-300+mph. It is spawned by a thunderstorm and produced when cool air overrides a layer of warm air, forcing the warm air to rise rapidly. The damage from a tornado is a result of the high wind velocity and wind-blown debris. Tornadoes can occur in any state but are more frequent in the Midwest, including Nebraska.

December 2002: Volume 21, Number 3 Features in this issue: Weather Disasters in the Great Black Swamp Help When Disaster Strikes The Gallery Weather Disasters in the Great Black Swamp "We may achieve climate, but weather is thrust upon us." William Sydney Porter (O. Henry) The most disastrous flood in Ohio's history was probably the one which occurred in March 1913. These men are rowing down a Defiance, Ohio street. Edward Bronson Collection( MS 454 Original negative owned by Defiance Public Library. Northwest Ohio is not famous for its weatherat least not in the same way that New England is famous for its winters or that Florida is famous for its tropical climate. Thanks to the clearing of the Great Black Swamp, the wind blows more freely here than elsewhere in the state (Bowling Green is fondly called "Blowing Green" by many locals), but for the most part, the climate is typical of the midwestern United States. There are four identifiable seasonshot summer, cold winter, cool, wet spring and fall, enabling farmers to grow corn, small grains, and vegetables. Within this climate pattern are the day-to-day changes in the weather with which we all live. Catastrophic weather is so memorable that the events serve as milestones. Floods, tornadoes, and blizzards disrupt lives and destroy property. The tornadoes that did so much damage in northwest Ohio in November 2002, killing five people, will be remembered for many years to come. What resources will future historians draw on to learn about the effect this and other large storms had on the people and the economy of this region?

Sometimes Winter Storms Are Accompanied By Strong Winds Creating Blizzard Condit Sometimes winter storms are accompanied by strong winds creating blizzard conditionswith disasters may force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you http://www.co.cal.md.us/pubsafe/Winter weather facts for web 2001.htm

Calvert County Government Winter Weather Prepardness Sometimes winter storms are accompanied by strong winds creating blizzard conditions with blinding wind-driven snow, severe drifting, and dangerous wind chill. Strong winds with these intense storms and cold fronts can cause coastal flooding and beach erosion as well as sink ships at sea. In the West and Alaska, winds descending off the mountains can gust to 100 mph or more damaging roofs and other structures. Extreme cold often accompanies a winter storm or is left in its wake. Prolonged exposure to the cold can cause frostbite or hypothermia and become life threatening. Infants and elderly people are most susceptible. What constitutes extreme cold and its effect varies across different areas of the United States. Freezing temperatures can cause severe damage to citrus fruit crops and other vegetation. Pipes may freeze and burst in homes that are poorly insulated or without heat. Long cold spells can cause rivers to freeze, disrupting shipping. Ice jams may form and lead to flooding.
