The storm surge is a three-dimensional problem which does not lend itself well to two dimensional solutions. Single transect methods can only be used on well-behaved open shorelines, and should never be used on islands.$ The TAQS storm...

...winds circulating around storms imparts momentum to the surface of the ocean, inducing a current. Shallow water slows this movement, resulting in water piling up. This effect can result in huge water levels on a continental shoreline, such as the 6.7 meter water level at Bulls Bay, SC, as a result of Hurricane Hugo (USGS, 1990). This effect is usually much lower on islands, as the...

...Centerline Road on St. John and the road to St. Thomas’s west end. Both roads are likely to be impassable following an earthquake as a result of the land sliding that will occur. The islands are also subject to another seismic hazard — tsunamis. or seismic-induced sea waves. Tsunamis were reported following the 1867 earthquake. GeoScience Associates has estimated-the height of tsunami surge in...

This number was computed for groups of elements, e.g., police stations and hospitals, as well as for the entire country. v Major Results Vaulnerability functions were generated for the various infrastructure elements. The damage to the element resulting from the assigned hazard assigned...

...civil servants. Their salaries alone consume 60 per cent of the budget. 2. Lack of long-term plans: Political parties play a very limited role; it is particular personalities who define political opinions. Therefore, every election might result in the breakdown of applied policies. This makes long-term planning hardly possible. 3. Dependence: Many Montserratians believe that the colonial admi...
