Much of the literature relating to Disaster Management in the Caribbean has not been systematically compiled. This is particularly true of the work which has been done outside the academic domain. The CARDIN database, which will provide electronic access, remote interrogation, and links into other databases, will therefore be important to the discipline of disaster management in the Caribbean.
Dr. Barbara Carby
CARDIN express appreciation to the European Community Humanitarian Office (ECHO) for its ongoing sponsorship of the Project. It would also like to thank all persons from various organizations within Latin America and the Caribbean who provided input or assisted otherwise with the development of Caribbean Disaster Information: A Bibliography.
Caribbean Disaster Information: A Bibliography, is produced by the Caribbean Disaster Information Network (CARDIN), and lists documents on disaster prevention, mitigation and response included in the CARDIN database. It is a product of a regional cooperative effort with contributions from disaster organizations in the Caribbean. CARDIN embarked on this project in an effort to bolster the ability at national and regional levels to identify and capture relevant disaster related information and make it accessible and available to the global community.
This Bibliography is quite basic in its presentation and has been designed to be as user-friendly as possible. Information has been recorded as taken from the resources and this may appear as inconsistencies in presentation. However this is to ensure that the resource can be accurately and reliably traced.

Ab: An investigation of a roadway landslide in heavily overconsolidated Trinidad clay is presented. The slide occurred due to the combination of softening of the subsoils and unfavourable pore-water pressure during a period of heavy rainfall. The mechanism leading to the occurrence of these conditions was deep cracks formed as a result of desiccation. Progressive movement of the slide area was noticeable about five years prior to the sudden failure that occurred on December 26, 1979. The slide area was rehabilitated using retaining walls on both sides of the roadway along with a large diameter culvert to facilitate quick removal of storm and surface run-off.

Ab: Numerous soil pipes are reported from a small catchment in an area of Kandoid (kaolin-rich) soils and 2375 mm annual rainfall in the humid tropical volcanic island of Dominica, West Indies. Two spot surveys in August 1982 at baseflow during the wet season indicated that pipes contributed at least 14-16 percent of streamflow. Sampled pipe-flow was of similar chemical composition to the baseflow dominated streamwater. Specific conductance (249-420 uS cm-1) and silica (75 mg 1 -1) levels of pipeflow were high and suggested that the pipes tapped solute rich water close to the soil rock interface. The principal pipes flow perennially and showed little response to daily rainfalls of up to m3mn during the monitoring period.

Ab: This study documents the complicated bureaucratic process of relief, recovery and rehabilitation. The nature of the hazard is discussed and long-term mitigation strategies are proposed. The experience of Preston - the slope movements of March 1986 destroyed the village of Preston, Parish of St. Mary, Jamaica and was related to lateral spreading - has shown that (1) there are no specific guidelines or legislative framework within which the State may effectively assist its citizenry in the event of natural disasters, and (ii) as a society we are not prepared to deal with and manage the landslide hazard. These observations may be valid worldwide for developing countries. The slope movements which affected Preston are likely to be repeated in other communities in St. Mary; therefore the need for a National Landslide Management Programme is indicated. The Preston experience suggests that it is the responsibility of the local population to learn about the hazard and to prepare itself accordingly.

Ab: This paper concerns the stability of natural slopes in the central and eastern areas of the Commonwealth of Dominica, West Indies. A specific study of landslides on the island has not been conducted in the past; however valuable information regarding the soil properties and behavior was gathered by the authors during a road design contract. The island is geologically young and there is heavy rainfall in the area where the landslides occur. The predominant soil type is a well graded high plasticity material, the details of whose properties and behavior are presented.

Ti: Frequency distribution of hurricanes and tropical storms in Jamaica.
Co: 1st Annual National Conference on Science and Technology; Kingston, Apr. 27-29, 1987. 10
Ab: Records from 1900 to 1980 of hurricanes and tropical storms occurring over the 5 - degree grid bounded by 15N75W, 20N80W and 20N75W within which Jamaica is located, have been analysed to determine their annual and monthly frequency distribution. It has been found out that the number of occurrences per year of hurricanes and tropical storms, taken separately, approach Poisson distribution with a=0.51 and a=0154 respectively. The monthly frequency distribution of both events combined shows that they are most likely to occur during September, August or October with a probability of 34, 26 and 24 percent, respectively. May, June, July and November account for the remaining 16 percent. These findings have practical value as these events are disaster sources and the country is engaged in a flood plain mapping project as part of its disaster preparedness programme; they may also be useful for other countries in the Caribbean region where there are no such extensive records.

Ab: Records from 1886 to 1986 of hurricanes (H), tropical storms (S), tropical depressions (D) and all tropical cyclones (C=H+S+D) occurring in the Jamaica were analysed to identify a distribution that would fit the annual occurrence of these events and also to determine their annual and monthly distribution. It has been found that the number of occurrences per year of hurricanes, tropical storms and tropical depressions, taken separately, approach Poisson distribution with 1.7030, 1.7822 and 0.8889 respectively. It was found, however that in the Jamaica area, the annual occurrence of these events when combined did not fit the Poisson distribution. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

Ti: Report of the land-based sources of pollution in coastal, marine and land areas of CARICOM States.
Pub: s.l.; s.n.; n.d.; 121.
Ab: The UNEP/CARICOM project was undertaken because of the over-abundant evidence of pollution in the Caribbean Sea (mainly from land-based sources); and because of the detrimental effects of the numerous pollution sources on coastal ecosystems (particularly fisheries and coral reefs), which form a protective barrier to coastlines and coastal property, and on amenities providing marine recreational activity for tourist industries. The latter industries are extremely vital to the financial viability of most of the small islands that comprise the numerical majority of the countries of the Caribbean Community. The main areas on which the investigation and questionnaires focussed were domestic waste, mainly sewage and excreta disposal, and solid waste management: agricultural waste: industrial processes, and waste treatment and disposal: air pollution and coastal developments and their impingement on coastal ecosystems. The results of the data collected offer a comparatively accurate quantifiable evaluation of pollution loads on coastal ecosystems, land and subsurface resources.

Pub: Washington, D.C.; Pan Health Health Organisation; 93.
Ab: In 1979 the Caribbean was struck by three consecutive disasters: In April the Soufriere Volcano in St. Vincent erupted, forcing the authorities to temporarily resettle 20 percent of the population. In July, floods caused extensive damage to the western parishes in Jamaica. In September, Dominica was left in a state of shock and complete destruction by Hurricane David one of the most powerful hurricanes of this century. In all these disasters the immediate aftermath was characterized by uncertainty and fear of communicable disease outbreaks. In order to monitor closely what occurs following major disasters, specific post-disaster epidemiologic surveillance systems have been proposed. This report describes the experiences with setting up such surveillance systems in the Caribbean following the disasters in St. Vincent, Jamaica and Dominica. Most of the outbreaks or potential risk situations were associated with the disaster relief efforts. The report's conclusions and recommendations for future work in setting up epidemiologic surveillance systems following natural disasters are as follows: 1. Epidemiologic surveillance systems following disasters should be organized quickly and be creative and very dynamic. 2. The surveillance system as described in this report will detect outbreaks if they occur. The drawback of the system is that it can easily detect "outbreaks" where there are none. 3. All of the outbreaks detected could have been prevented by adequate disease control measures following the disaster. In fact, most of the outbreaks detected were associated with the disaster relief effort. In 1979 the Caribbean was struck by three consecutive disasters.

Ti: Sink holes management and floodings in Jamaica.
Pub: s.l.; s.n.; n.d.. 5.
Ab: More than 518 sq.m (200 sq.mi) of prime lands in Jamaica lay on Karstic material where sink holes are the natural outlet of important streams. Due to increasing social pressures, the lands are inappropriately managed and as a consequence, vegetal debris and silting have plugged the sink holes which have thus lost their capacity to drain the run-off produced during heavy rainfalls. One of these areas is Cave Valley, which during the last 30 years has been affected by at least six floodings, some of which have produced losses of life and property, in a section of the Jamaican population which is already under severe economic hardship. A flood prevention and mitigation project is being implemented including watershed management, river training and community preparedness. A geologic, hydrologic analysis are also part of this study. All these measures are expected to reduce future losses.

Ti: Soil pipes and slope stability.
Pub: s.l.; s.n.; n.d.. 11.
Ab: Experimentation with a Hele-Shaw viscous-flow analogue apparatus has supported earlier suggestions based on field evidence that a causal link exists between some soil pipes and slope failure. The analogue has shown that when a pipe is blocked or is a dead-end passageway (a closed pipe), the cavity can readily fill with water during rainstorms. Pipes partially filled with standing water will generate pore pressure in the surrounding soil matrix in proportion to the hydrostatic head achieved. Long pipes parallel to the fall line of the Slope have the potential, when partially filled with water, of generating soil pore-water pressures much greater than those generated by total saturation of the soil. Such pore-pressure increases could trigger land-slides at sites that would otherwise be stable.

Rapid stream erosion leading to landslides and the dislodging of a weathered porphyry on one side of the plateau rendered the upper beds of shale and soft sandstone unstable. A rotary "shearslide" movement on a horizontal axis ensued, movement taking place on a curved, shear surface which appeared at the surface as a fissure.

Ab: The hypocenters of appoximately 500 Caribbean earthquakes were relocated using a digital computer. Since a large number of epicenters can now be located with an accuracy of about 10 km, the spatial distribution of earthquakes can be used in detailed investigations of the tectonics of deep-sea atrenches, fault zones and island arcs. A nearly continuous belt of shallow-focus seismicity can be traced from Central America to the Greater and Lesser Antilles and then to northeastern Venezuela. Intense sources of seismic activity are apparently associated with the El Pilar and Bocono fault zones. This study indicated a gap in the seismicity of northern South America between longitudes 64.5oW and 69oW. In addition to this area, several other segments of island arcs have acted as distinct tectonic units. These units are often bounded by major transverse features. About 30 percent of the events reported in this study were assigned focal depths greater than 70 km; earthquakes having depths as great as 200 km were detected. A zone of intermediate-depth earthquakes can be traced along the entire length of the Lesser Antilles. Most of the hypocenters in the Lesser Antilles are confined to a zone about 50 km wide which dips about 60oW. An intense source of intermediate earthquakes is located beneath the eastern end of Hispaniola. Much of the shallow-focus activity in the vicinity of the Puerto Rico trench is located beneath the south wall of the trench. Some activity was detected in the Puerto Rico trench itself, and several epicenters are associated with structural elements which strike WNW. Earthquake epicenters near the Virgin Islands indicate that the Anegada fault zone may be at least 400 km long.

Ti: A 10300 C14 yr record of climate and vegetation change from Haiti.
So: Quaternary Research; 52 :157-70, 1999.
Ab: Pleistocene and Holecene vegetation dynamics in the American tropics are inferred largely from pollen in continental lake sediments. Maritime influences may have moderated climate and vegetation changes on Caribbean islands. Stable isotope (delta O-18) study of a 7.6m core from lake Miragoane, Haiti provided a high-resolution record of changing evaporation/precipitation (E/P) since 10300 C-14 yr B.P. The Miragoane pollen record documents climate influences and human impacts on vegetation in Hispaniola. The delta O-18 and pollen data near the base of the core indicate cool dry conditions before 10000 C-14 yr B.P. Lake Miragoane filled with water in the early Holocene as E/P declined the fresh water acquifer rose Despite increasing early Holocene moisture, shrubby, xeric vegetation persisted. Forest expanded 7000 C-14 yr B.P. in response to greater effective moisture and warming. The middle Holocene (7000-3200 C-14 yr B.P.) was characterized by high lake level and greater relative abundance of pollen from moist forest taxa. Climatic drying that began 3200 C-14 yr B.P. may have driven some mesophilic animal species to extinction. The pollen record of the last millennium reflects pre-Columbian (Taino) and European deforestation. Long-term, Holocene vegetation trends in southern Haiti are comparable to trends from continental, lowland circum-Caribbean sites, suggesting a common response to regional climate change.

Ti: Good building practice prevents hurricane damage: a report on the effects of Hurricane Betsy.
Pub:Kingston ; Scientific Research Council; 1966. 5.
Ab: When Betsy, winds of which reached a velocity of 85 knots, struck Nassau in Sept. 1985, the damage to buildings was surprisingly little. Investigations disclosed that the rigid regulations adhered to in building construction, the distribution of the reinforcing material in the structures, the care taken in ensuring the adequacy of pins and drapes to wooden and concrete structures and the prompt and efficient manner in which the population reacted to hurricane warnings were responsible for the lack of destruction. The damage that did occur was caused mainly by occasional lack of attention to important details of construction, by falling trees and by the lifting of badly laid asphalt shingles from the roofs. The report includes recommendations which aim at improving building techniques and standard controls in Jamaica.
