1) New Quick Response Reports Available from the Natural Hazards Center

With funds from the National Science Foundation, the Natural Hazards Center offers social scientists small grants to travel to the site of a disaster soon after it occurs to gather valuable information concerning immediate impact and response. Grant recipients are then required to submit reports of their findings, which the Center posts online. Three new Quick Response reports are now available at www.colorado.edu/hazards/qr/.

QR191 Emergency Responses for High Plains Cattle Affected by the December 28-31, 2006, Blizzard, by Bimal Kanti Paul, Deborah Che, and Vicki L. Tinnon. 2007.

Parts of six states in the Great Plains region of the United States experienced severe winter storms in late December 2006. This research explored the effect of the severe winter weather on the cattle industry in the Great Plains region of eastern Colorado and western Kansas. By surveying more than 60 farmers and ranchers, the researchers gathered information on industry-specific problems encountered during the storm, the effectiveness of the response to the blizzard, and what farmers and ranchers hope to see in the response to future severe weather.

QR192 Evaluation of Winter Storm Warnings: A Case Study of the Colorado Front Range December 20-21, 2006, Winter Storm, by Sheldon Drobot.

This research aimed to improve understanding of decision making related to driving in hazardous winter weather conditions, using the December, 2006, Colorado blizzard as a case study. By analyzing responses to a Web-based survey, the researcher examined respondents’ main sources for obtaining weather information, concluding that local broadcast media was by far the preferred method for most respondents. Respondents also felt that the forecast they received was generally accurate. In addition, this research explored factors that influenced respondents’ decisions to drive or stay home.

QR193 The Groundhog Day Florida Tornadoes: A Case Study of High Vulnerability Tornadoes, by Kevin M. Simmons and Daniel Sutter.

On February 2, 2007, a severe thunderstorm moving across central Florida spawned three tornadoes, resulting in 21 deaths in the second-worst tornado outbreak in state history. The outbreak exhibited three vulnerabilities for tornado casualties revealed by prior research: the tornadoes touched down at night, during a fall or winter month, and in an area with a large proportion of manufactured homes. This research combined property and damage characteristics to examine risk factors for fatalities in this high-vulnerability event. The research results indicated that all the fatalities occurred in mobile homes, and that 16 of the 17 fatalities occurred in homes that were leveled. The effects of home construction quality and warnings and sirens were also explored.

Note: Information about applying for 2008 Quick Response funding will be provided on the Center’s Web site next week and in the September 20 Disaster Research e-newsletter.

2) Hurricane Forecast Team Calls for Heightened Activity

Above-average hurricane activity is expected for the remaining three months of the hurricane season, according to the Colorado State University (CSU) hurricane forecast team.

The individual month of September and the two-month period of October and November are expected to experience five named storms each. In September, the forecast calls for four of the five storms to become hurricanes and two to become major hurricanes. In October and November, the team forecasts two of the five named storms to become hurricanes and one to become a major hurricane.

August had about average numbers of tropical cyclone formations. The one hurricane that formed (Dean) reached Category 5 status and lasted for 3.75 days as a major hurricane. This is the most days that a single major hurricane has accrued during the month of August since Hurricane Frances in 2004.

For more information, including a detailed description of the many detailed forecast factors, visit http://tropical.atmos.colostate.edu.

The (CSU) team will issue an updated forecast for October-November 2007 Atlantic basin hurricane activity on Oct. 2.

4) Fireproofing Homes Dramatically Reduces Forest Fire Size

A new study, published in the September 4 print edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has modeled the spread of forest fires and concludes that the size and intensity of fires is directly linked with the density and flammability of houses built in the wildland-urban interface.

Since houses are much more flammable per square yard than forests, homes that erupt in flames can propel forest fires to a critical intensity threshold much more quickly. Fireproofing houses in forests can dramatically reduce the size and spread of wildfires, the study states.

The study involved Patrick Bourgeron, a fellow at the University of Colorado at Boulder's Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research; UCLA Professor Michael Ghil; and graduate student Vassilis Spyratos of the French university Ecole Normale Superieure.

9) Some New Web Resources

[Below are some new or updated Internet resources we have discovered. For an extensive list of useful Internet sites dealing with hazards, see www.colorado.edu/hazards/resources/.]

Natural Disasters More Destructive than Wars: Egeland
Jan Egeland, former United Nations head of humanitarian affairs, said last week that natural disasters devastate seven times more people than war does, and that global climate change will only worsen natural disaster impacts. “Climate change, it’s happening. It’s not a threat,” Egeland said.

Hurricane Could Devastate New York, U.S. Economy, Experts Warn
According to this National Geographic piece, forecasters have warned that a hurricane making landfall near New York City could cause extensive flooding, heavy storm surges, and a potential month-long economic shutdown for the city. Because of New York’s position as a national and international financial center, economic damage could be catastrophic.

Hurricane Katrina: Who’s to Blame for this Unnatural Disaster
Cataloging numerous books written about Hurricane Katrina, this The Nation article explores expert beliefs about who should be blamed for the disaster following the storm, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Michael Brown, Mayor Ray Nagin, the Army Corps of Engineers, and President Bush.

EMPOWER (Emergency Management Professional Organization for Women’s Enrichment)
This emergency management organization for women was created to build a platform where professionals can come together to share experiences, build skills, and expand and deepen industry knowledge. EMPOWER helps facilitate the advancement and enrichment of women in emergency management.

L.A. in 1,000-Year Earthquake Lull
An article printed in the September issue of the journal Geology shows that the Los Angeles Basin and the Mojave Desert may be seismically linked, and LiveScience has distilled this research into a short article. The Mojave region has been very seismically active in the past 1,000 years, perhaps explaining why the Los Angeles area hasn’t seen an extremely massive jolt, the article states.

FEMA Looks to Private Sector for Disaster Provisions
This Government Executive article shows how the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is increasingly outsourcing responsibilities to the private sector, termed “third-party logistics.” FEMA officials claim these arrangements will improve the agency’s response.

FEMA: Gulf Coast Recovery Office
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created this Web site, devoted solely to matters of recovery from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The site offers information on the progress being made in the region, news and statistics, the latest reports, interactive maps, important phone numbers, and guidelines on preparedness and mitigation.

Video Games as Disaster-Training Tools

Post-doctoral Research Scholar (Urban Energy)
Center for Energy, Marine Transportation and Public Policy at Columbia University ; New York City, New York

The Center for Energy, Marine Transportation and Public Policy (CEMTPP) at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs is seeking one Postdoctoral Research Scholar to contribute to and support the Center's expanding research program on urban energy issues. This appointment will be initially for one year, with the expectation that it will be renewed for a second and final year, assuming satisfactory performance. An annual stipend of $66,000 plus fringe benefits is provided.

The Center is a focal point for the study of economic, environmental, political, technological and other factors that affect the global production, transportation and consumption of energy. It builds upon the School's strengths in international affairs and economics, public policy and quantitative techniques for analyzing policy and management. In addition, the Center draws on resources elsewhere at Columbia, including the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, and the Business and Law Schools. The Center also benefits from Columbia's location in New York, the center of global finance and media.

Urban Energy Project: Because cities are where the bulk of all energy is consumed globally, the Center's new Urban Energy Project seeks to understand urban energy flows, markets, regulation, policy, and politics. We seek post-doctoral researchers who specialize in one of the following areas:

-The influence of energy markets, technology, and regulation on the growth of cities in developing nations - the vast majority of urban growth over the next several decades will occur in developing nations. We seek researchers who can help us understand how different forms of energy or energy-using technologies are shaping how and where this growth occurs, the types of economies that are developing, and urban form.

-Linkages between energy and greenhouse gas flow modeling and local energy policymaking - local governments are increasingly seeking to inventory local energy supply/use or greenhouse gas emission flows as a precursor to the development of local climate or sustainability policies. We seek researchers who are conversant in energy/GHG modeling and/or local energy governance issues to help us better understand how (or whether) the results of these modeling efforts link up to policymaking efforts in large cities in China, Europe, and North America.

The Postdoctoral Research Scholar will be involved in all aspects of the development of the Center's Urban Energy Program, including establishing linkages with researchers at other universities around the world and various funding organizations. The Postdoctoral Research Scholar will be expected to pursue an individual research project(s) that is compatible with the mission of the Center and is approved by the Director of the Urban Energy Program. In addition, the Postdoctoral Scholar will be expected to help develop and coordinate the Urban Energy Program's research agenda (up to approximately 40% of the Postodoctoral Scholar's time). Depending on the Center's needs and the candidate's needs and interests, the Postdoctoral Scholar may also be expected to teach a partial or full course each year.

Candidates with an earned doctorate in economics, public policy, urban planning, or political science/government are encouraged to apply.

Applicants must have recently received their PhD or have the degree awarded prior to the commencement of their appointment, although this may be no later than December 2007. The appointment will begin no later than January 1, 2008.

Application Process: The deadline for applications is September 1, 2007; review of all application materials will begin immediately upon receipt.

Submit cover letter explaining your proposed research plan, CV, three letters of support from graduate advisors, a one-page description of a course you propose to teach, and two writing samples.
