Rowan hurricane presentation
Hurricanes are powerful tropical storms that form over warm ocean waters and bring strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surge. They develop when warm, moist air rises into towering clouds and rotates around a low pressure center, drawing in more warm air and increasing in strength. The strongest hurricanes have wind speeds over 155 mph and can cause extensive property damage and loss of life through flooding, high winds, and flying debris.

KHUM 2005 Storm Coverage
Local radio station KHUM kept their listeners informed during a heavy storm that caused flooding and power outages in Humboldt County. Despite roads being closed and losing power in Ferndale, KHUM DJs found ways to stay on air from remote locations to provide updates on road closures, flooding, and outages. Station staff camped out in Ferndale and broadcast from their homes to share information obtained from local authorities. The DJs ensured the community remained informed of safety conditions for over 48 hours straight during the storm.
Hurricane dorian returns to category 3 strength as it churns up us coast
After hammering the Bahamas and leaving at least 20 dead, Hurricane Dorian returned to category 3 strength and began raking the south-east US seaboard early on Thursday.
Tens of thousands were without power as Dorian threatened to inundate low-lying coasts from Georgia to Virginia with life-threatening storm surge.
Dorian squatted over the Bahamas as its strongest hurricane on record, leaving widespread devastation.
Hurricane Ike
Hurricane Ike was a powerful storm that caused widespread damage along the Texas Gulf Coast in September 2008. Ike made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane near Galveston, Texas, flooding the city and submerging its 17-foot seawall. Over half of Galveston's 60,000 residents had evacuated as the storm's track shifted northward. The hurricane also caused major damage in other Texas coastal communities and killed at least 28 people in the Houston area.
Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina started as a tropical storm near Florida in 2005 and rapidly intensified into a Category 5 hurricane as it hit the Gulf of Mexico. It caused catastrophic damage along the Gulf Coast through strong winds up to 175 mph and severe flooding. Over 1,000 lives were lost and many homes and buildings were destroyed by the hurricane's high winds and storm surge. Infrastructure was overwhelmed and recovery efforts were hampered, making Katrina one of the costliest and deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history.

The document provides a daily coronavirus update for March 30, 2020. It notes that the next 17 days will be critical for flattening the infection curve in the UK due to the lockdown, while the next 77 days will significantly impact daily life based on Wuhan's experience. It also cautions that 2020 is cancelled from an economic perspective, and predicts a V-shaped recovery for UK property prices with little movement.
Hurricanes
The document discusses several devastating hurricanes that caused significant damage, including Hurricane Hugo in 1989 which was a category 5 hurricane that impacted Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, killing over 50 people and causing billions in damage. Hurricane Ivan in 2004 was also a powerful category 5 hurricane that caused widespread damage across the Caribbean. Hurricane Dean in 2007 was another intense category 5 hurricane that impacted Mexico.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.The Impact of Rising Sea Levels and Storm Surges - Malcolm Bowman
The Impact of Rising Sea Levels and Storm Surges - Malcolm BowmanNational Institute For Coastal and Harbor Infrastructure
The document discusses the impacts of rising sea levels and storm surges in the New York - New Jersey metropolitan area from Sandy and future storms. It notes that the area is particularly vulnerable due to its location and low elevation. Devastating storm surges have occurred throughout history and are expected to increase in intensity over time due to climate change and sea level rise. While a category 3 or 4 hurricane is unlikely for the region, preparations must be made for extreme weather. The document recommends coastal protections for the New York Harbor area to mitigate flooding risks over the next century.The Great Wall of Louisiana - Andy Kopplin
This document discusses a proposed surge barrier called the Lake Borgne Surge Barrier that would protect the city of New Orleans from hurricane storm surges coming from Lake Borgne. A video overview of the surge barrier project is referenced, as well as an article from NOLA.com about the proposal.
The Economics of Climate Adaptation - Megan Linkin
The Economics of Climate Adaptation - Megan LinkinNational Institute For Coastal and Harbor Infrastructure
The document summarizes an economic analysis of climate adaptation strategies for New York City. It describes the methodology used, which assesses total climate risk today and under future climate change scenarios using catastrophe models. The analysis found that taking proactive adaptation measures in New York City could significantly reduce future climate change impacts and result in cost savings. For example, the analysis estimated that without action, climate change could increase the city's annual expected losses from natural disasters from $1.7 billion today to $4.4 billion by the 2050s.The Fargo Moorhead Area Diversion Project - Martin Nicholson

This document provides an overview of the Fargo-Moorhead Area Diversion Project. It discusses the flood history in the Fargo-Moorhead area that necessitated the project, describes the recommended project which includes a diversion channel and upstream storage, outlines the path to securing federal authorization and funding including through an innovative public-private partnership, and summarizes the Diversion Authority's financial plan to fund the local portion of the project costs.Stamford Hurricane Barrier - Kip Bergstrom
The Stamford Hurricane Barrier consists of 2.5 miles of barrier and three pump stations to protect downtown Stamford from flooding. Hurricanes in 1938 and 1954 caused major flooding and economic losses in Stamford, motivating the construction of the barrier to prevent future storm damage.
Sea Level Rise and Environmental Concerns Rob Freudenberg
Sea Level Rise and Environmental Concerns Rob FreudenbergNational Institute For Coastal and Harbor Infrastructure
This document discusses the risks of sea level rise and its potential impacts. It notes that sea levels could rise by 1 foot between 2030-2050, 3 feet between 2080-2100, and 6 feet by 2100 or later. A rise of 6 feet would flood 280 square miles, displace over 600,000 residents and 363,000 jobs. Lower rises of 1 and 3 feet would still impact many people and jobs, though to a lesser extent. The document also examines case studies from cities that face risks like Venice, London, and New York, and considers ecological impacts such as changes to sedimentation, flows, salinity, wildlife habitat and water quality. It briefly mentions governance and financing challenges associated with addressing sea level riseResiliency Options for Long Island Communities - John Cameron
Resiliency Options for Long Island Communities - John CameronNational Institute For Coastal and Harbor Infrastructure
This document summarizes the impacts of Superstorm Sandy on Long Island, including multibillion dollar costs and damage from storm surge flooding. It outlines some of Long Island's responses to Sandy over the past 5 years, including various resiliency projects through state and federal agencies to improve infrastructure, protect homes and critical facilities, and restore natural barriers. However, it notes that the work has been piecemeal rather than regional, and that less than half of planned coastal protection projects and under 10% of homes in flood zones have been protected. It concludes that while progress has been made, Long Island is not yet ready to withstand another major storm like Sandy due to unfinished projects and the need for more comprehensive planning and protection efforts.Port Authority Resilience Planning - Andrew Lynn
Port Authority Resilience Planning - Andrew LynnNational Institute For Coastal and Harbor Infrastructure
The Port Authority oversees many transportation facilities in the New York/New Jersey region that were damaged by Superstorm Sandy in 2012, including airports, bridges, tunnels, rail systems, and ports. Nearly 20% of PATH rail tracks flooded, as did tunnels at the Holland Tunnel. The Port Authority, NJ Transit, and MTA received over $10 billion total in federal assistance for storm recovery. In response, the Port Authority issued resilience guidelines in 2015 to design all capital projects to withstand coastal flooding hazards, using a process to cost-effectively integrate resilience measures. For example, a PATH head house would be designed to a flood elevation over 17 feet to protect critical infrastructure.New York and New Jersey Tital Barriers
1) A study from the 1990s examined using a tidal gate at Throgs Neck to improve water quality in Long Island Sound by reducing pollutant concentrations and increasing dissolved oxygen levels.
2) Modeling showed the tidal gate could induce increased ocean water flow through Long Island Sound to the harbor, but may also alter tidal elevations and increase salinity.
3) While water treatment upgrades have led to improvements, a storm surge barrier could provide additional water quality benefits worth further investigation due to synergies between water quality and coastal protection goals.

The Thames Estuary 2100 strategy provides flood protection for 1.25 million people and £200 billion worth of property in the Thames Estuary region through 2100. It takes a long term, integrated approach to managing the region's flood defenses, which include over 4000 assets like barriers, gates, and levees, in the face of rising sea levels and increased flood risk due to climate change. The strategy evaluates options like raising existing defenses, building new barriers, and increasing flood storage and recommends continued investment and improvement of existing structures along with new inter-tidal habitats and an adaptable plan to manage rising water levels over the long term.Financing Resiliency Infrastructure Through Insurance Surcharges - Marvin Ma...
Financing Resiliency Infrastructure Through Insurance Surcharges - Marvin Ma...National Institute For Coastal and Harbor Infrastructure
- The document proposes instituting a mandatory insurance surcharge on property and casualty insurance policies in states like New York and New Jersey to generate funds for infrastructure resiliency initiatives.
- Using a proven credit structure, the funds could be accessed through capital markets to efficiently and quickly maximize proceeds for projects to mitigate potential damage from future natural disasters.
- Over half of property and casualty insurance premiums in the target states come from automobile and homeowners' policies, providing a substantial untapped source of funding that could reduce future economic costs from climate events.More Related Content

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Climate Change All over the World .pptx
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
