Multi-scale Processes Leading to Supercells in the Landfalling Outer Rainbands of Hurricane Katrina (2005).

▼ Shallow supercells are frequently observed within the outer rainbands – both onshore and offshore – of landfalling tropical cyclones (TCs). Such supercells can produce tornadoes along the coast even when the center of the parent TC is hundreds of kilometers from land, as was the case with
Hurricane Katrina (2005). A convection-permitting simulation with 1.5-km grid spacing in the innermost domain is used in conjunction with radar, radiosonde, and surface observations to investigate the multi-scale conditions conducive to supercells in the landfalling outer rainbands of Katrina. Several hours before the eye of the TC made landfall, a baroclinic zone developed along the coast; this front strongly influenced the horizontal distributions of cell-relative helicity and CAPE such that the largest values of these parameters were located over land and water, respectively. An example of a tornadic supercell in the outer rainbands of Katrina is examined. This cell intensified just before landfall and spawned a tornado along the coast, demonstrating the ability of baroclinic boundaries to enhance low-level horizontal vorticity and subsequently intensify updraft rotation within passing cells. Farther inland, the tornadic cell weakened rapidly, suggesting the presence of a narrow coastal zone in which both shear and buoyancy are favorable for tornadogenesis.

▼ xii, 77 leaves, bound col. ill. 29 cm
Data from the Long-Range Lightning Detection Network (LLDN), the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) sate11ite, and reconnaissance aircraft are used to analyze the frequency and location of cloud to ground lightning outbreaks in the eyewa11s of Hurricanes Rita and Katrina. Each hurricane produced eyewall lightning outbreaks during the period of most rapid intensification, during eyewall replacement cycles, and during the period that encompassed the maximum intensity for each storm. The strike density (number of strikes per (100 km)2) ratio between the eyewall region (0 - 50 km) and the outer rainband region (175 - 300 km) was 6: I for Hurricane Rita, and I: I for Hurricane Katrina. This result is in contrast to those of previous remote lightning studies, which found that outer rainbands dominated the lightning distribution. The differences are shown to be at least in part the result of the more limited range of the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) data. Within the effective range of the aircraft radar, maxima in eyewall strike density were collocated with maxima in radar reflectivity. High lightning strike rates were also reliably associated with TRMM low brightness temperatures and large Precipitation Ice Concentration (PIC) product The differences in storm structure and lightning strike morphology between Hurricanes Rita and Katrina are documented. The implications of the results for the use of LLDN lightning data to remotely examine changes in hurricane intensity and structural evolution are discussed.

▼ This thesis seeks to examine the effectiveness of post-Sandy CDBG-DR-funded housing recovery efforts in New York City. Using historical precedents to understand federal disaster policy and to identify its common limitations, this research then attempts to analyze the progress of NYC’s existing housing recovery programs. In order to identify the challenges and limitations of these programs, this thesis utilized information gathered from an inspection of available housing recovery data as well as interviews with representatives of various city, state and federal agencies. By combining the quantified progress of NYC’s housing recovery with the varied perspectives of individuals implementing and guiding these efforts, this research attempted to distill the broad successes and failures of different recovery programs. Taking these lessons, several recommendations are provided with the goal of improving the effectiveness of future CDBG-DR-housing recovery efforts.

▼ A series of three papers comprised the research completed for this dissertation study. Each contribution examined mesoscale processes that occurred within the planetary boundary layer in the context of the chosen avenue of research. The premise of paper one centered on the daytime growth of the convective mixed layer over the continental mid-latitudes for the application of smoke management from wildland fire. An evaluation of the most robust practical technique for mixed-layer height estimation was performed using numerical model simulations and space-based lidar retrievals. Results revealed that daytime mixed-layer growth corresponded with the excitation of the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) and layer height was best determined where the dissipation of TKE occurred in the vertical. Papers two and three were completed as a two-part series where emphasis was placed on the boundary layer dynamics associated with the precursor environment wherein
Hurricane Sandy (October 2012) developed. And although greater attention was paid to the localized mesoscale dynamics, evaluation of the larger-scale influence was also examined across the entire northern hemisphere weeks in advance. Results from two mesoscale model simulations, a control run and no-terrain experiment, show that the precursor environment is highly influential to its developmental fate. In the case of Sandy, the surrounding orography imposed constraints on the environmental mass field such that a low-level curved momentum channel was produced upstream of the incipient disturbance (on its southwestern side) wherein vorticity generation was maximized and wrapped into the vortex inflow region. The latter westerly momentum also converged with a secondary low-level southerly jet feature that emanated into the vortex inflow region. Model results were evaluated against a suite of satellite data including composite brightness imagery, scatterometer surface wind data, space-based lidar retrievals, and Best Track data (on storm track, mean sea level pressure, and maximum tangential wind speed) from the National
Hurricane Center database.

▼ This dissertation introduces a linear program to help guide optimal expenditure of government spending for regional
hurricane risk management and to provide insight into some of the complexities involved in designing and prioritizing regional mitigation policies and programs. Specifically, it aims to help answer the questions: (1) How much should be spent on mitigation and acquisition?; (2) What will the return on that investment be?; and (3) How should mitigation funds be spent (i.e., which buildings should be mitigated, how, and when)? The model considers damage from both high winds and storm surge flooding; includes a detailed assessment of the actual risk using a carefully selected set of
hurricane scenarios to represent the regional hazard and a component-based damage model; and considers physically realistic mitigation strategies. A heuristic algorithm was developed to solve it for real, regional applications. A case study for residential woodframe buildings in Eastern North Carolina is presented. The case study suggests that spending on pre- and post-event mitigation and acquisition are all cost-beneficial to a point; if funds are spent systematically, much of the benefit can be obtained with a relatively small investment; and in just 30 years, the investment can reduce annual expected reconstruction expenditures substantially, a benefit that would continue into the future. The case study also suggests spending on a range of mitigation strategy types; that it is best to spend mitigation funds as early as possible, where the hazard is highest (i.e. along the coast line); and that strategies affecting combinations of building components can be most cost-beneficial.

▼ Sint Maarten is a Caribbean island that is located in one of the six tropical zones were hurricanes may develop each year. The island deals with a limited resilient housing stock due to the lack of building regulations and affordable materials and contractors. This results in a community that needs to rebuild the housing stock every time a hurricane hits. In addition, most people lose their jobs after a hurricane because the numbers of tourists drop. This project attacks this problem by making resilient housing with plastic roofs. Plastic waste can be harvested locally and be used as a building element. This way a newindustry is developed and creates more local job opportunities. By designing understandable units, that are close to the traditional way ofbuilding and are prefabricated and supervised, the resiliency is guaranteed. This project let to promising results in reusing plastic as a building material for resilient housing. Additional research could be performed on the more technical effect of wind forces on recycled plastic roofs. <p class="MsoNormal"/>

▼ This study examined how comprehensively the Bolin and Trainer (1978) model of recovery reflects the recovery process of individuals and households. A review of the literature since 1978 suggested that various revisions and additions were warranted, but additional research was needed to examine these elements collectively. Rubin and Rubin?s (2012) Responsive Interviewing Model was employed to collect and analyze data related to the recovery process of individuals impacted by Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy to determine whether an updated model was appropriate. Interviews with twenty-one respondents representing non-governmental organizations involved in Sandy-related recovery efforts revealed the need for a revised model reflecting key aspects of the original model, revisions suggested by the literature, and a new addition based on the data collected through this study. A Revised Bolin and Trainer Model of Individual and Household Recovery was suggested and implications for the discipline and practice of emergency management discussed.

▼ Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are in many regions responsible for severe damages and a great number of casualties, resulting from the severe wind speeds, rainfall, wave heights and storm surges. The recent hurricanes Harvey and Irma are examples of the great devastation that can be caused by a single event, and of the insufficient level of preparedness that is currently present to withstand the adverse effects of such an event. Even in the U.S., which suffers relatively frequently from TCs, and has an extensive track record of historical events, the consequences of Harvey were unforeseen and destructive. Difficulties in determining extreme TC conditions, whether these are rain, wind, wave or storm surge conditions, mostly come from the fact that severe adverse effects caused by TCs are very local. This is the case because the exact track, intensity and size of the storm determine to a large extent which area is affected the most, and what the consequences are for the hydraulic conditions. Small variations in any of these parameters can greatly influence the conditions at any location. This is already the case in regions which suffer relatively often from TCs. In regions that do not suffer as regularly from TCs, data scarcity makes it even more difficult to anticipate adverse consequences. In these regions TCs are nevertheless often responsible for the most severe conditions, and the effects of such events should therefore be quantified in order be able to prepare for such conditions. For extreme cyclone wave conditions specifically, there is an additional problem of feasibly determining extreme wave conditions from cyclone wind conditions. This research presents the Tropical Cyclone Wind Statistical Estimation Tool (TCWiSE) to determine extreme TC wind speeds and focuses on the determination of its accuracy in data scarce regions. The tool was developed by applying it in a case study in the Gulf of Mexico. Moreover a brief qualitative assessment of the available TC wave models has been performed in order to identify an adequate method to determine extreme TC wave conditions from TC wind conditions.

▼ Student project report, in cooperation with Smith-Warner International Ltd. (SWIL), Kingston, Jamaica. At this moment the shipping channels in Kingston Harbour, Jamaica, slowly accrete. When the harbour is expanded, the local and global sediment transport is likely to change. During this project it is investigated whether these changes are significant and if they will have a negative influence on the Kingston Harbour area. Also the increase of flood risk for the area surrounding Hunts Bay is investigated. This investigation is done by modeling the hydrodynamics of the Kingston Harbour area with MIKE21 and Delft3D, where after both modeling programs are compared to each other. For the input data for the models, research has been done concerning the boundary conditions. This data is gathered from several projects done in the past about other areas in the harbour and fieldwork in Hunts Bay. During the year, most of the wind comes from the east and south-east direction. There are also two mayor streams which debouch into Hunts Bay, namely the Sandy Gully and the Rio Cobre. Since there is only discharge known about the Rio Cobre (daily values from 1985 to 2010), only the Rio Cobre is taken into account. The maximum measured value was 563 m3/s (during hurricane IVAN) and the average value is about 12 m3/s. For the sediment input data some fieldwork is done in Hunts Bay to gather information about the type of soil. From this it is concluded that it is silt, which is confirmed after a lab research of the sediment. However these accurate soil properties couldn’t be implemented into the models due to the lack of time. During the fieldwork also a bathymetric survey was done, which showed that Hunts Bay is sedimented compared to the previously used bathymetric data, gathered from admiralty charts in 2000. Calibration of both models is done by comparing it with the measured water level and flow velocities underneath the Causeway Bridge. Since this is the only point where data was available for, the calibration kept global, and should be improved in the future. The modeling showed that most of the sediment transport into the shipping channel is caused by the high discharge of the Rio Cobre. Ivan showed the most extreme sedimentation and the biggest change due to the expansion. In the present situation the shipping channel is gradually silting, with two areas where the siltation is concentrated. With the first phase expansion these ‘mountainous’ areas will be much more concentrated. However it can be concluded that the changes in the sediment transport due to the first phase expansion are not significant and will not lead to more problems than there are without this expansion. For this problem a sediment trap is proposed. At first it was placed just eastward of the Causeway Bridge, but this didn’t solve the problem and it would be in the way for the phase two expansion. Therefore a sand trap is designed in Hunts Bay, just westward of the Causeway Bridge. This location is really effective, since it stores the sediment from the…

▼ The collision of counter propagating ocean surface waves of like periods is known to produce an infrasonic signal termed a microbarom. It has been suggested that microbaroms associated with large maritime storms are generated far from the storm center at a location in which the storm swell and background swell have equal period and are counter-propagating. It is shown in this work that the interaction of the atmospheric microbarom signal generated by a large maritime storm with the cyclonic winds of the storm results in a characteristic acoustic signal far from the storm which could potentially be used to estimate storm intensity from infrasonic measurements. Numerical propagation modeling has predicted that one particular characteristic, back azimuth, might be analyzed to estimate storm intensity. For a storm in the open Atlantic, microbaroms which have strongly interacted with the storm winds are predicted to have back azimuths oriented towards the storm center and are only expected to be observed in a localized region to the northwest of the storm. Microbaroms which have weakly interacted with the storm are predicted to have back azimuths oriented towards the source region and are expected to be observed most clearly from the south of the storm. The size of the region in which the strongly interacting signal is observed has been found to be strongly dependent on wind speeds in the storm center and therefore observation of this signal might allow estimation of storm intensity from infrasonic data. Acoustic data has been collected during the 2010 and 2011 Atlantic
hurricane seasons using infrasound arrays deployed in Florida, North and South Carolina, New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut. Observations of microbaroms which have not interacted strongly with the storm are in agreement with the prediction that the location of the microbarom source region is far from the storm center. Additionally, observations of microbaroms with back azimuths such that interaction with the storm is likely are in strong agreement with predictions from propagation modeling.

▼ This dissertation presents a comprehensive analysis of the loss of life in Louisiana associated with Hurricane Katrina and the catastrophic failure of the federal hurricane protection system. While Louisiana officials attribute 1,464 deaths to this disaster, a Louisiana Katrina Victim Database compiled for this dissertation lists 1,575 victims whose death can be linked to circumstances related to the disaster. First, this dissertation presents a comprehensive assessment of the multiple hazards impacting a dynamic population within southeast Louisiana. This is followed by a comprehensive descriptive analysis of victims’ characteristics. Both of these assessments point to an important conclusion: circumstances matter in interpreting the observed trends in victims’ characteristics. Drawing inferences from the available data, three categories of circumstances of death are identified: (i) direct flood deaths, (ii) emergency circumstances deaths, and (iii) evacuation/displacement deaths. As a whole and within each category, age is the most important demographic attributes with nearly 60% of deceased victims over 65 or older. However, the role of other demographic attributes varies between different categories of circumstances, with flood victims being predominantly African-American males and evacuation/displacement deaths being predominantly Caucasian females. Deaths directly related to flood exposure constitutes one major class or category of victims. Using the available data, these victims are identified, and then merged with population data to calculate and map the direct flood fatality rate (FFR). The overall mortality among the flood exposed population for this event was approximately 1%, which is similar to findings for historical flood events. The FFR is then used as the dependent variable in a regression analysis meant to build upon previous research in modeling flood deaths. In a final step, a set of regressions examine the influence of (i) the flood hazard characteristics and (ii) the population vulnerability characteristics in determining the FFR. It was found that water depth and flow velocity explain much of variance in the observed FFR, with age and race also being significant. These results provide important insights into the deaths caused by this complex disaster along with the relationship between flood mortality and the characteristics of the flood and the affected population.

▼ Hurricane evacuations can be a chaotic experience for individuals involved, but researchers have attempted to find patterns in the routes people take. One paper laid out a model for predicting route choice based upon features that are different than standard route choice influencers. This thesis attempted to evaluate the accuracy of that model by using TransModeler modeling software. Using the building blocks of the HEMP project, this project compared the new model to the standard model and evaluated the two based upon the ability to reproduce real-world results. Interestingly, the two did not come out significantly different possibly because the effect size of the increased accuracy of the new model was not large enough to be measured partially because the southeastern Louisiana road network does not provide ample alternatives to elucidate the differences

▼ This research examines the influence of framing and priming theories of the mass media taken together, asking whether the two phenomena can interact to produce different outcomes. Most extant research on media effects looks at the theories
independently without recognizing the potential or an interactive effect. Priming theory states that news attention to a particular issue increases the salience of it, encouraging the incorporation of that subject into judgments of public officials;
framing theory argues that the content of a story influences the effect that it has on the audience. To date, however, little work has been conducted incorporating the ideas of the theories with one another. In this work, I ask whether the media’s frame
influences public opinion of policy issues and encourages the incorporation of the issue into evaluations of public officials. That is, do differing portrayals of the same story influence individuals’ judgments of public figures?

▼ Washover sand deposits are common depositional features caused by large storms that affect coastal areas.
Hurricane Ike was a powerful storm that hit the gulf coast in September of 2008, the track of the eye crossing Bolivar Peninsula in Texas. The attempt was made to exhaustively identify and map washover deposits caused by
Hurricane Ike along the Texas coast to the southwest of landfall. Several transitions in the nature of the deposits are identified. The plan view distribution, the volume change, and the relationship with the antecedent topography all present changes that generally mirrors the alongshore decay of
Hurricane Ike’s energy, represented by the storm surge and waves. These are put in context using the ratio, called here r, that is the maximum surge height in any given location at the beach divided by the height of the beach berm at the same location. In places where the storm surge was not high enough to overtop the beach berm, waves are assumed to have eroded the beach to the point that it allowed overwash to occur, and quantifying this contribution is a fertile avenue for future research.

▼ This dissertation examines texts that articulate a temporary escape for Black Americans from today’s anti-Blackness. These sites, which I call “loopholes of retreat,” provide momentary bodily safety and critical distance that allow for an unearthing of new ways to counteract the cycle of anti-Blackness that has continued since slavery. I frame my project with a discussion of Harriet Jacobs’s narrative, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, the true account of Jacobs’s life as a slave and her journey to freedom by way of a tiny space she called her “loophole of retreat.” In 2005, the disablements to understanding, civic solidarity, and empathy – consequences of ongoing anti-Blackness – were revealed when
Hurricane Katrina hit, largely affecting Black communities in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama due to a history of racial discrimination and segregation. I argue that in the contemporary moment, like Jacobs, people of color have managed to locate their own loopholes of retreat, working within them to challenge dominant ideologies and the political and social institutions that continue to punish, silence, and subjugate minority populations in America. These loopholes offer a peephole through which inhabitants can view the world from a relatively safe distance, “free” from the physical and psychological dangers of anti-Blackness. Here, the gaze shifts, allowing bodies of color to witness racist acts although they remain a target of racism. Building from Katherine McKittrick’s definition of the loophole as a paradoxical space, I posit that, removed from the outside world and looking at rather than participating in, one who occupies a contemporary loophole of retreat also exists in-between time, as they are neither forced to obey the standards of linear time nor are they completely removed from its existence. Here, history is alive, and the connections between the past, present, and future are palpable, embodied in the bodies of color that take refuge in the garret. As such, possibilities for new alternatives to anti-Blackness exist, alternatives that neither repeat the past nor completely reject its existence, but instead work within history to, ideally, change the future such that Black Americans are capable of more than just survival.

▼ Jacket platforms are fixed base offshore structures used to produce oil and gas in relatively shallow waters worldwide. Their pile foundation systems seemed to perform better than what they were designed for during severe hurricanes. This observation has led to a common belief in the offshore oil and gas industry that foundation design is overly conservative.
The objective of this research is to provide information to help improve the state of practice in designing and assessing jacket pile foundations to achieve a consistent level of performance and reliability. A platform database consisting of 31 structures was compiled and 13 foundation systems were analyzed using a simplified foundation collapse model, supplemented by a 3-D structural model.
The predicted performance for most of the 13 platform foundations is consistent with their observed performance. These cases do not preclude potential conservatism in foundation design because only a small number of platform foundations were analyzed and only one of them actually failed. The potential failure mechanism of a foundation system is an important consideration for its performance in the post-
hurricane assessment. Structural factors can be more important than geotechnical factors on foundation system capacity. Prominent structural factors include the presence of well conductors and jacket leg stubs, yield stress of piles and conductors, axial flexibility of piles, rigidity and strength of jackets, and robustness of foundation systems. These factors affect foundation system capacity in a synergistic manner. Sand layers play an important role in the performance of three platform foundations exhibiting the largest discrepancy between predicted and observed performance. Site-specific soil borings are not available in these cases. Higher spatial variability in pile capacity can be expected in alluvial or fluviatile geology with interbedded sands and clays.
The uncertainties in base shear and overturning moment in the load are approximately the same and they are slightly higher than the uncertainty in the overturning capacity of a 3-pile foundation system. The uncertainty in the overturning capacity of this foundation system is higher than the uncertainty in shear capacity. These uncertainties affect the reliability of this foundation system.

▼ This dissertation uses the Gulf Coast Child and Family Health (G-CAFH) Study to examine the long-term mental health patterns of individuals highly affected by Hurricane Katrina, and establish trajectories of mental health recovery. To do so, I use a multidimensional perspective to identify the mechanisms that illustrate why mental health recovery is often an unequal process for disaster survivors. I examine sociodemographic, household, and social frameworks to tell a comprehensive story of mental health recovery and how it is connected to mobility. In the first analysis, I consider how mobility rates differ depending on various social characteristics, and how such relationships can reproduce and reinforce inequalities during the recovery process. These analyses also consider how different rates of mobility are associated with the likelihood of vulnerable populations experiencing mental health distress. Results demonstrate that disasters often work to sustain inequalities that existed prior to the event and that mental health distress is tied to high rates of mobility. In the second analysis, I consider how the addition or subtraction of household members can affect an adult respondent’s mental health and how household instability might mitigate or exacerbate the negative mental health effects of disasters. Results from these analyses suggest that respondents experienced high rates of mobility coupled with household instability in the four years following Katrina. Somewhat surprisingly, there is a significant negative effect on mental health for living in a household that expanded but not for when a household contracted. In the third and final analysis, I examine the relationship between perceived social support and mental health using different types and levels of social support. Results suggest that emotional support—rather than instrumental—provides the greatest positive influence on mental health over the course of recovery. Most importantly, these findings suggest that perceived social support mediates the effect of mobility on mental health distress. Lastly, I conclude with a discussion about mental health trajectories following disasters and argue that mental health recovery patterns can be categorized in three ways, including resilient mental health, stalled mental health, and downward mental health.

▼ This dissertation addresses post-disaster long-term recovery as a communication and organizing process reliant upon networked stakeholder relationships and collaborative communication. Findings from a multiyear field study are used to propose a relational model of stakeholder theory and a theory of collaborative communication as a web of social and organizational relationships within a community or region solving complex problems of mutual concern. Stakeholder theory is reconceptualized as a framework for understanding community survivability rather than firm or organizational survivability. Advancing Nordic models of stakeholder theory, the dissertation argues that networked stakeholder relationships and collaborative communication are mutually dependent as twin concepts of collective problem-solving and relationship management. Communication practices such as meetings and face-to-face encounters are used by networked stakeholders to connect with one another and build trust, share information, allocate resources, and manage conflict. Networked stakeholder relationships take shape over time and include a mix of existing, emergent, and pre-planned organizations active within a physical community or an organizational field such as disaster recovery. The complex problem of long-term recovery after disaster is used to generate empirical evidence from a geographically bounded region in coastal New Jersey severely impacted by Hurricane Sandy on October 29, 2012. This 5-year field study covers the period from October 30, 2012, to December 31, 2017, and includes active participant observation as a resident and organizational leader in the impacted region, ethnographic observations, and interviews as well as archival data that combine organizational documents with academic, nonprofit, and government reports. A combination of social constructivist grounded theory, abductive analysis, and social network analysis are used to analyze data. Processes, timelines, and networks of recovery in this coastal region are uncovered from the data and used to construct the models of networked stakeholder relationships and collaborative communication proposed by this study. Finally, policy implications are presented that address specific concepts for improving the processes of long-term recovery after natural disaster.

▼ In the last decades, the devastating impact of hurricanes revealed the vulnerability of large areas of the U.S. East and Gulf coasts to this natural hazard. Additionally, the impact of hurricanes may be exacerbated by climate change and the population growth of coastal communities. A framework for the risk analysis for hurricanes needs to consider three fundamental aspects of hurricanes (wind, rainfall, and storm surge), should be able to account for the effects of climate change, and should adopt wind, rainfall, and storm surge models that are computationally efficient. Several wind and rainfall models in the literature can account for climate change effects and are computationally efficient. However, current models for storm surge that can account for the effects of climate change are generally computationally inefficient. A few models that are computationally efficient are empirical, and their functional forms lack physical meaning and are not based on the understanding of the underlying physical phenomena. Moreover, because of the specific formulation used to construct such models, it is generally not possible to incorporate both results from simulations and historical observations in the model calibration. Consequently, there is a need to define efficient models that can account for the effects of climate change while capturing the physics of the phenomena and can incorporate data from both simulations and historical observations.
This dissertation develops a novel physics-based (or physics-inspired) probabilistic formulation as a valid alternative for storm surge prediction. Such a formulation is developed using the combination of two models, a logistic model and a random field. The two models provide two complementary pieces of information. The logistic model estimates the probability that a location is flooded. The random field model estimates the distribution of the storm surge depths, given that a location is wet. Being physics-based, the proposed probabilistic formulation has the advantages that account for the underlying physics of the phenomena, is computationally efficient, and overcomes some of the limitations of the available models on the model calibration and prediction. The formulation is computationally efficient because the models adopted in the formulation require a limited amount of data for calibration to provide initial predictions of storm surge height. Consequently, the proposed formulation is suitable for comparative analyses on the effects of climate change for different climate change scenarios since the calibrations of the models require only a limited amount of simulations for each scenario. Although performing the calibration with a limited amount of simulations generally affects the accuracy of the results, it allows us to develop a formulation that is extendable to regions that are neighbors of the one for which the models are calibrated by updating the models with a limited number of historical records and simulations. The random field model considers the spatial correlation…

▼ Tropical storms and hurricanes have caused extensive casualties and damage in past decades. Recent data indicate that the annual losses from hurricanes are increasing, partly because the U.S. coastal population has increased significantly in the past 20 years. Moreover, the housing values in these areas have increased as well. Thus, population and economic growth in the vulnerable coastal areas have made hurricanes a serious problem and created the potential for a catastrophic loss of life. The existing research literature lacks a sufficient scientific understanding of
hurricane information searching and dynamic protective action decision making during events in which additional information becomes available over time. The
hurricane evacuation decision context is well understood; the National
Hurricane Center (NHC) issues
hurricane forecast advisories every 6 hours until a
hurricane turns into a tropical depression. Emergency managers and residents in the risk area are most likely to make decisions on their protective actions based on these
hurricane forecast advisories. Therefore, this study uses the DynaSearch program to conduct a computer-based experiment that examines
hurricane information search pattern by students playing the roles of county emergency managers, their understanding of
hurricane strike probabilities and their choices of protective action recommendations during four different
hurricane scenarios. This study simulates the approach of a
hurricane by providing experiment participants a sequence of
hurricane forecast advisories and examining how they search for information, change their threat perceptions and implement protective actions over time. The results show that (1) People prefer graphic information (especially the forecast track and uncertainty cone) over numeric and text information about hurricanes; (2)
hurricane intensity was the parameter that was most commonly viewed and
hurricane wind radius was the parameter that was least commonly viewed; (3)forecast track had a large number of clicks and long click durations, whereas uncertainty cone had fewer clicks but longer click durations; (4) participants??? judgments of the extent to which they used each of the parameters were not entirely consistent with their search patterns; (5) participants found a
hurricane???s current location and day-5 forecast were the most informative time periods; (6) there was no evidence that participants??? personal concern (whether a
hurricane will head toward to their county or not) affected their information search pattern in this study; (7) participants failed to evacuate appropriate risk areas in timely manner; and (8) participants had difficulty interpreting strike probabilities. These results suggest the problem of misinterpretation of the uncertainty cone is less severe than some might have concluded from the evidence provided by Broad et al. (2007). Moreover, the results suggest that participants were able to utilize the available information in the tables and tracking maps to make reasonable judgments…

▼ The research aim was to examine differences in housing needs during disasters according to homeownership type by examining unmet housing needs in Texas during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. This dissertation includes: (1) literature review regarding differences in housing needs by housing tenure normally and during disaster phases; (2) decision-making models and methods to handle incomplete tertiary data; (3) patterns of unmet housing need differing through disaster phases; and (4) factors determining likelihood of unmet housing needs for renters vs. owners before, during, and after Hurricanes Katrina–Rita. The longitudinal and logistic analyses used “real-time” reports of unmet housing needs logged in Texas’ 2-1-1 dataset covering all 254 counties during 8/1–12/31/2005.
First, previous research has shown that renters faced greater housing struggles than homeowners due to their limited resources in phases spanning from prior to a disaster to post-disaster recovery. Second, a systematic algorithm was developed to solve missing data problems in merging multiple tertiary datasets. This method would enhance opportunities to employ tertiary data for research and management studies, at the same time increasing the validity of the findings for more appropriate planning and policies. Third, in this study during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, unmet housing needs were mostly financial issues for rental housing. The volume of unmet rental housing needs rose one week after each hurricane’s landfall compared to homeowner’s unmet needs rising in early recovery. Unmet shelter needs peaked during the immediate disaster response but extended beyond typical
hurricane emergency periods. Fourth, greater affordability constraints were significantly associated with greater likelihood of rental needs prior to and during disaster emergency phases but not during recovery; however, greater affordability constraints increased the likelihood of homeowner needs only during normal phase prior to the disasters. Less availability of housing was strongly associated with greater likelihood of housing needs for both renters and homeowners. Housing quality was not associated with unmet needs when controlling for availability, affordability and disaster location. Overall, this research showed empirical evidence that policymakers need to consider developing different strategies and programs based on various types of housing needs according to homeownership type by disaster phase.

▼ Evacuations associated with
hurricane events are an expensive endeavor, compounded by the potential for casualties and other significant costs owing to forecast error at the time that evacuation orders are announced. A synthetic climatology of over eighty-two thousand hurricanes is created based on the historical climatology of hurricanes that struck Florida between 1900 and 2010. Five evacuation events, which include issuance of evacuation orders and a logistic model of cumulative population evacuation, are simulated for each synthetic
hurricane. At the end of each model run, associated costs are calculated for the total number of households that evacuated, as well as casualty costs for the individuals who stayed in areas that were ultimately struck. A sensitivity analysis is performed for three major variables: the accuracy of program generated
hurricane forecasts, evacuation order lead time, and length of coastline evacuated beyond the cone of uncertainty based on past
hurricane forecast skill. A reduction in forecast track error reduces the total overall cost of evacuation, but may result in higher casualties if too short a distance of coastline is evacuated. Evacuating approximately 250 km on each side of the cone of uncertainty is optimal because casualties are not appreciably decreased with a larger evacuation area. Longer evacuation order lead time results in a decrease in casualty costs, while the combined costs of evacuation and casualties increase only slightly. Implications for both the forecasting enterprise and for policy-makers are discussed.

▼ The Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Scale (SSHS) was developed in 1969 by Herbert Saffir and Bob Simpson and introduced to the public in 1973. Saffir developed the initial scale when he realized there was no simple scale for describing the effects of hurricanes. He devised a 1-5 scale based on the wind speeds of a storm and the expected damage to structures. Simpson collaborated and added on storm surge and pressure (NOAA, 2006a).
The National
Hurricane Center (NHC) eliminated the components of pressure and storm surge in 2009, transforming it into a pure wind scale known as the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale (SSHWS). According to the NHC dropping all requirements except wind was to “help reduce public confusion about the impacts associated with the various
hurricane categories as well as to provide a more scientifically defensible scale” (Schott et al. 2012).
The SSHS has been criticized for many years due to the fact that the scale does not take into consideration rain amounts, forward speed, and size of a tropical cyclone, to name a few critical missing parameters. Recent hurricanes such as
Hurricane Harvey (2017) that stalled over the Texas and Louisiana coastlines for several days and contributed to historic flooding, damage, and significant loss of life, show that a change needs to be made in the SSHWS. Classifying a tropical cyclone’s strength solely on the maximum wind speeds does not give an accurate representation of the true intensity and threats associated with a storm. In order for a tropical cyclone to be classified more accurately a new
hurricane scale is proposed. This thesis examines existing components found in the original SSHS (wind, barometric pressure, and storm surge) as well as new potential elements that will measure an approaching tropical cyclone: size, precipitation, forward speed, and extratropical transition. A new and improved
hurricane scale known as the Masson – Gough
Hurricane Scale is proposed and assessed, using past tropical cyclones as well as piloting it on a recent
hurricane season, 2017. This research is needed for the purpose of more accurate forecasting and for the benefit of public awareness, safety, management, and preparedness.

▼ This study presents the development of a new central pressure filling rate model to characterize the rate at which hurricanes or tropical storms decay after landfall. It has been shown that the post landfall decay rate of hurricanes is closely related to the time after landfall, the size of
hurricane and proximity of the
hurricane eye to the coastline. In addition, it has been observed that the decay rates of hurricanes are geographically dependent. Based on these observations, a set of simple empirical models expressed in terms of exponential and linear equations are utilized to characterize the decay rate of hurricanes after landfall. The filling rate model, which consists of a set of empirical equations, is organized according to the geographic region, the storm heading direction and proximity of the
hurricane eye to the coastline. To account for the influence of the land terrain on the decay rate of hurricanes, the North American continent is divided into seven regions: Gulf Coast, Florida, East Coast and Northeast Coast, Great Lakes, Inland and Mexico area. A new along-shore
hurricane decay model is introduced to account for the decay rate of hurricanes traveling along the coastline and with the
hurricane eye relatively close to the coastline. In the new filling rate model, modeling parameters are determined through regression analysis using the
hurricane database (HURDAT) maintained by the National
Hurricane Center for
hurricane records from 1975 to 2011 (HRD 2012a). Based on the results of the regression analysis, it has been shown that the modeling uncertainty (or error term), which is defined as the difference between the model predicted and the actual observed decay rates, can be characterized using the unbounded Johnson distribution. The new model is benchmarked against two current state-of-the-art models by comparing the simulated central pressures for historical
hurricane events to that of the actual observations in HURDAT. The benchmark study has shown that the simulated results using the new decay model are generally more accurate and match reasonably well with the actual central pressures of historical storm events. The new decay model has been coded into a Matlab program and the codes are provided herein with this manuscript. The new decay model and the computer codes can be implemented into a stochastic
hurricane simulation framework for long-term
hurricane risk assessment or
hurricane hazard mapping

▼ Annually, tropical cyclones do tremendous damage and are agents of long-term coastal change. To test this idea of different tropical cyclones delivering consistent coastal change, a landform with such evolution is needed. One such landform is a spit. What contributions do tropical cyclones give toward the evolution of a spit, and do tropical cyclones give the same kinds of impacts? To determine if tropical cyclones have similar impacts, shoreline and volumetric change from four storms impacting Bolivar Peninsula are considered. Being a southwest-trended spit at a length of 33.5 kilometers, storm impacts are measured in the form of one dimensional shoreline and two dimensional volumetric change. These impacts are abstracted into shoreline change and volumetric change patterns. These patterns are identified and compared for differences between each storm and similarity among all storms.
Results indicate that shoreline accretionary zones vary alongshore. Results from
Hurricane Ike indicate an accretionary zone ten kilometers from the distal end. Shoreline change patterns for
Hurricane Rita show an unstable accretionary zone at four kilometers from the distal end. Results for Tropical Storm Fay indicate an unstable accretionary zone that begins at the distal end and continues to the middle of the spit. In terms of similarity for shoreline change, all patterns from storms demonstrated erosion near Rollover Fish Pass.
One dimensional volumetric change patterns were entirely erosive for Hurricanes Rita and Ike, and Tropical Storm Fay had by small zones of accretion near the distal portion of the spit. Tropical Storm Josephine demonstrated an accretion zone between the middle and distal portion of the spit. Results from two dimensional volumetric change patterns suggest a threshold for inland penetration. Tropical Storm Fay showed a ten to twenty meter wide pattern of erosion around five kilometers from the distal end and near the proximal end of the spit, and
Hurricane Rita demonstrated a twenty meter wide pattern of erosion near the distal end.
Hurricane Ike had erosive penetration of up to 200 meters around fifteen kilometers from the distal end. Results suggest that certain storms reinforce the standard spit growth model, and others work against it.

▼ This ethnographic analysis of the social and physical effects of
Hurricane Ike in Galveston, Texas and the consequent recovery that emerged afterward is based on 20 months of field research conducted immediately before and after the storm’s landfall. The introductory chapter locates the ethnographer just prior to the
hurricane as he prepared for an unexpected evacuation. It then presents the conceptual framework for a multi-sited ethnography of “disaster culture” and introduces analytic keywords of “vulnerability,” “resilience,” “dreamworlds,” and “catastrophe.” It concludes by discussing a set of historical and contemporary socio-economic conditions in Galveston. This provides a frame of reference of both the social formations of storm experiences and the public recovery dynamics that attended with Ike’s aftermath that are discussed throughout the text. This is further supplemented with an explanation of Ike’s flooding and the geographic distribution of storm damage. Chapter two begins with an ethnographic vignette of the first townhall meeting held in Galveston after Ike. This introduces several recurrent topics of concern that were formative of disaster-culture dynamics. It then provides a literature review of the anthropology of disaster before segueing into a presentation of storm narratives. It ends with an analysis that further elaborates on the formative dynamics of Galvestonian disaster culture. Chapter three provides an analysis of the public deliberations that emerged over long-term redevelopment initiatives; particularly, the advocacy practices of a faith-based consortium; advocacy on behalf of restoring the University of Texas Medical Branch; the public Long Term Recovery Committee, and a FEMA buyout program that benefited higher income property owners on the western end of the island. The fourth chapter provides an extended case study concerning the rebuilding of 569 units of public housing that were subsequently destroyed after the
hurricane. The rebuilding of public housing became the most vitriolic public issue during the course of fieldwork. The concluding chapter invokes the concepts of “dreamworlds” and “catastrophe” used by historian and philosopher Walter Benjamin to show the processual dynamics between the initial hopes for collectively strengthening Galveston through federally funded redevelopment and the increasingly negative assessments of the city’s long-term urban fortunes.

▼ Hurricane Katrina ripped through Louisiana and the Gulf Coast in late August 2005. This devastating storm left thousands of people homeless and forever changed the lives of those who lived in these areas. Adolescents in the storm-impacted areas continue to be affected by life events brought about by this natural catastrophe. Many adolescents moved to another parish or state and started a new school, and many students reported attending multiple schools. Adolescents lost possessions and friends, and many continue to experience grief and loss issues related to Hurricane Katrina. Family job loss and associated financial hardship added to the already complex lives of adolescents who were navigating their way through high school and dealing with day-to-day teenager stress. This paper reviews the research on natural disasters and the impact of Hurricane Katrina on adolescent psychological adjustment and adaptation. The results from this study indicate there is a statistically significant correlation between hurricane impact and mental health. The data shows that the students who experienced the most mental health issues such as Generalized Anxiety Disorders, post traumatic stress disorder, major depression, and eating disorder were in the evacuation group who returned to St. Tammany parish within 30 days after the hurricane. The data indicates that students relied primarily on parents and friends to help them adapt and adjust after the hurricane. This dissertation will help those who work with adolescents to better understand how they adapt and adjust after a major natural disaster.
