HURRICANES ISELLE (center)
AND JULIO (right)
THEY ARE THE FIRST HURRICANES TO
HIT HAWAII IN 22 YEARS
Hurricane Iniki struck the island of Kauai on September

Hurricane Iniki Wind Damage
11 September 1992
FORECAST:
ISELLE PREDICTED TO MAKE
LANDFALL ON THURSDAY (7
August)
JULIO WILL PASS PASSED BY
THE ISLANDS TO THE NORTH
ON SUNDAY (10 August)
FOR EXTRA MEASURE
A Magnitude 4.5
EARTHQUAKE RATTLED THE
BIG ISLAND AS THE
HURRICANES APPROACHED
ON 7th AUGUST
POTENTIAL DISASTER
AGENTS AND RISK FROM
HURRICANES
POTENTIAL DISASTER AGENTS (AKA
HAZARDS) OF A HURRICANE
• WIND FIELD [CAT 1 (55 mph) TO CAT 5+
(155 mph or greater)]
• DEBRIS
• STORM SURGE/FLOODS
• HEAVY PRECIPITATION/FLOODS
• LANDSLIDES (MUDFLOWS)
• COSTAL EROSION
Debris Damage from Iniki

HIGH POTENTIAL LOSS EXPOSURES
IN A HURRICANE
Entire communities;
People, property, infra-
structure, business enterprise,
government centers, crops,
wildlife, and natural resources.
A DISASTER CAN HAPPEN

“DISASTER
LABORATORIES”
A DISASTER is ---
The set of failures that overwhelm the
capability of a community to respond
without external help when three
continuums: 1) people, 2) community
(i.e. a set of habitats, livelihoods, and
social constructs), and 3) complex
events (e.g. windstorms, floods)
intersect at a point in space and time.
Disasters are caused by
single- or multiple-event
natural hazards that, (for
various reasons), cause
extreme levels of mortality,
morbidity, homelessness,
joblessness, economic losses,
or environmental impacts.
THE REASONS ARE . . .
When it does happen, the functions
of the community’s buildings and
infrastructure can be LOST.
THE REASONS ARE . . .
The community is UN-
PREPARED for what will likely
happen, not to mention the
low-probability of occurrence,
high-probability of adverse
consequences type of events.
THE REASONS ARE . . .
• The community has NO DISASTER
PLANNING SCENARIO or
WARNING SYSTEM in place as a
strategic framework for early threat
identification and coordinated
local, national, regional, and
international countermeasures.
THE REASONS ARE . . .
• The community LACKS THE
CAPACITY TO RESPOND in a
timely and effective manner to
the full spectrum of expected
and unexpected emergency
situations.
THE REASONS ARE . . .
• The community is INEFFICIENT
during recovery and
reconstruction because it HAS
NOT LEARNED from either the
current experience or the
cumulative prior experiences.
THE ALTERNATIVE TO A
HURRICANE DISASTER IS

Two Hurricanes Approaching Hawaiian Islands 7-9 August 2014

  • 1. TWO HURRICANES HEADED FOR HAWAII August 7, 2014
  • 3. THEY ARE THE FIRST HURRICANES TO HIT HAWAII IN 22 YEARS Hurricane Iniki struck the island of Kauai on September 11, 1992 with peak intensity winds reaching 145 MPH
  • 4. Hurricane Iniki Wind Damage 11 September 1992
  • 5. FORECAST: ISELLE PREDICTED TO MAKE LANDFALL ON THURSDAY (7 August) JULIO WILL PASS PASSED BY THE ISLANDS TO THE NORTH ON SUNDAY (10 August)
  • 6. FOR EXTRA MEASURE A Magnitude 4.5 EARTHQUAKE RATTLED THE BIG ISLAND AS THE HURRICANES APPROACHED ON 7th AUGUST
  • 7. POTENTIAL DISASTER AGENTS AND RISK FROM HURRICANES
  • 8. POTENTIAL DISASTER AGENTS (AKA HAZARDS) OF A HURRICANE • WIND FIELD [CAT 1 (55 mph) TO CAT 5+ (155 mph or greater)] • DEBRIS • STORM SURGE/FLOODS • HEAVY PRECIPITATION/FLOODS • LANDSLIDES (MUDFLOWS) • COSTAL EROSION
  • 11. HIGH POTENTIAL LOSS EXPOSURES IN A HURRICANE Entire communities; People, property, infra- structure, business enterprise, government centers, crops, wildlife, and natural resources.
  • 12. A DISASTER CAN HAPPEN WHEN THE POTENTIAL DISASTER AGENTS OF A HURRICANE INTERACT WITH A COMMUNITY’S VULNERABLE ELEMENTS
  • 13. WIND PENETRATING BUILDING ENVELOPE HURRICANE UPLIFT OF ROOF SYSTEM FLYING DEBRIS STORM SURGE IRREGULARITIES IN ELEVATION AND PLAN SITING PROBLEMS FLOODING AND LANDSLIDES CAUSES OF DAMAGE “DISASTER LABORATORIES”
  • 14. A DISASTER is --- The set of failures that overwhelm the capability of a community to respond without external help when three continuums: 1) people, 2) community (i.e. a set of habitats, livelihoods, and social constructs), and 3) complex events (e.g. windstorms, floods) intersect at a point in space and time.
  • 15. Disasters are caused by single- or multiple-event natural hazards that, (for various reasons), cause extreme levels of mortality, morbidity, homelessness, joblessness, economic losses, or environmental impacts.
  • 16. THE REASONS ARE . . . When it does happen, the functions of the community’s buildings and infrastructure can be LOST.
  • 17. THE REASONS ARE . . . The community is UN- PREPARED for what will likely happen, not to mention the low-probability of occurrence, high-probability of adverse consequences type of events.
  • 18. THE REASONS ARE . . . • The community has NO DISASTER PLANNING SCENARIO or WARNING SYSTEM in place as a strategic framework for early threat identification and coordinated local, national, regional, and international countermeasures.
  • 19. THE REASONS ARE . . . • The community LACKS THE CAPACITY TO RESPOND in a timely and effective manner to the full spectrum of expected and unexpected emergency situations.
  • 20. THE REASONS ARE . . . • The community is INEFFICIENT during recovery and reconstruction because it HAS NOT LEARNED from either the current experience or the cumulative prior experiences.
  • 21. THE ALTERNATIVE TO A HURRICANE DISASTER IS HURRICANE DISASTER RESILIENCE
  • 22. CHILE’S COMMUNITIES DATA BASES AND INFORMATION HAZARDS: GROUND SHAKING GROUND FAILURE SURFACE FAULTING TECTONIC DEFORMATION TSUNAMI RUN UP AFTERSHOCKS •WINDSTORM HAZARDS •PEOPLE & BLDGS. •VULNERABILITY •LOCATION WINDSTORM RISK RISK ACCEPTABLE RISK UNACCEPTABLE RISK GOAL: HURRICANE DISASTER RESILIENCE • PREPAREDNESS •PROTECTION •EARLY WARNING •EMERGENCY RESPONSE •RECOVERY and RECONSTRUCTION POLICY OPTIONS
  • 23. TECHNOLOGIES FOR MONITORING, FORECASTING, WARNING, AND DISASTER SCENARIOS ARE VITAL FOR SURVIVAL IN A HURRICANE
