2013 ATLANTIC BASIN HURRICANE SEASON June 1 – December 30. REASONS FOR A SLOWLY DEVELOPING SEASON. "A large area of high pressure over the central Atlantic has been very strong and very good at driving dry air southward into the tropics into September. Generally it is easier for tropical storms to form and tropical storms to streng-then into hurricanes when an un-obstructed supply of moisture available Tropical Storm Karen ---Elventh Storm Of 2013 Season. Expected to be a rainmaker in the USA. Presentation courtesy of Dr Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction
LEARNING FROM GLOBAL DISASTER LABORATORIES PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK FOR GLOBAL DIALOGUE THAT IS THE FIRST STEP ON THE ROAD TO RESILIENT COMMUNITIES. A Framework For A Comprehensive, Inter-Disciplinary Dialogue On 21st Century Disasters And Disaster Resilience. A Disaster Is The Set Of Failures That Occur When The Continuums Of: 1) People, 2) Community (I.E., A Set Of Habitats, Livelihoods, And Social Constructs), And 3) Recurring Events (E.G., Floods, Earthquakes) Intersect At A Point In Space And Time, When And Where The People And Community Are Not Ready. Intersection Of These Continuums Is Inevitable. Some Intersections Will Cause A Disaster, And Some Won’t. Each Community Must Be Ready For The Inevitable Intersection That Will Challenge Its State Of Readiness. Best Policies And Practices: Create, Adjust, And Realign Programs, Partners And People Until You Have Created The Kinds Of Turning Points Needed For Moving Towards Disaster Resilience.

Once again, 2013’s disasters demonstrated that it usually takes multiple disasters before the stricken nation decides to become disaster resilient. Presentation courtesy of Dr. Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction
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 keys to resilience: 1) know the history of past disasters 2) be prepared 3) have a warning system 4) evacuate 5) learn from the experience
Mitigation and adaptation strategies for coping with the potential adverse effects of global climate change. If the predictions are right, we will be living with the effects of global climate change for the rest of our lives. Many countries are now making large investments in mitigation and anticipatory adaptation actions. Leaders recogniize that the effects of global climate change will likely increase the risks for people, businesses, and communities living in or located in coastal areas or in river floodplains. Presentation courtesy of Dr Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction
The greenhouse effect occurs when an earth warmed by the solar spectrum radiates invisible infrared light back, but, instead of going back to space, it is partly absorbed by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, making the atmosphere warmer. Substantial areas of North America are likely to have more frequent droughts of greater severity. Hurricane wind speeds, rainfall intensity, and storm surge levels are likely to increase. The strongest winter storms are likely to become more frequent, with stronger winds and more extreme wave heights. Presentation courtesy of Dr. Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction
Don’t be lulled into a state-of-unpreparedness! (National Hurricane Center). According to weather records dating back to 1851, the first hurricane DID NOT FORM until after Aug. 20 in 48 of the 161 years, and in 25 of then, it formed on or after 1 September.
