Ab: Dominica was struck by Hurricane David on the 29th August 1979 and this report gives the background to the disaster, reports on the disaster itself and presents the ensuing relief effort. A large amount of emergency relief was provided to Dominica following Hurricane David from other governments, the United Nations, national and international voluntary service organizations, and many individuals from nearby countries and around the world. The assessment of the relief effort concluded that the two major problems were 1. the lack of advance disaster preparedness and prevention activities in Dominica and 2. the lack of adequate communications channels to and from the island. A third problem was the distance from the disaster scene of the responsible UNDP office in Guyana as this made their early direct involvement impossible.

Ti: Report of the United Nations Disaster Relief Coordinator on Hurricanes David and Frederic in the Dominican Republic August/September 1979. Pub: Geneva; United Nations Disaster Relief Organization; 1980. 23. Ab: In late August and early September 1979 Hurricanes David and Frederick ravaged the Caribbean region. David hit the Dominican Republic on 31 August and Frederic followed four days later with less intense winds but bringing week-long downpours and causing extensive damage which aggravated an already disastrous situation. This also hampered both damage assessment operations as well as rescue and relief efforts. Casualties and damage are recorded. The response and relief efforts by the government of the Dominican Republic, the United Nations system and other bilateral and voluntary organisations are reported. Conclusions made are that 1. the relief effort was able to cover most needs of the hurricane victims and undertake rehabilitation and reconstruction tasks in a reasonably short time and 2. the establishment of a local "United Nations Team" allowed all agencies involved to carry out their respective missions with maximum efficiency.

Ti: Evidence for delayed mortality in hurricane damaged Jamaican staghorn corals. So: Nature; 294: 251- 2, 1981. Ab: Severe tropical storms can cause widespread mortality in reef corals. The Caribbean staghorn coral, ACROPORA CERVICORNIS, although dependent on fragmentation for asexual propagation, is particularly vulnerable to hurricane damage. The most important agents of post-hurricane mortality are assumed to be high wave energy and change in salinity, factors which typically soon diminish in intensity. We report here that there was substantial delayed tissue and colony death in A. CERVICORNIS on a Jamaican reef damaged by Hurricane Allen. This previously undocumented degree of secondary mortality, sustained for 5 months and unrelated to emersion, was over one order of magnitude more severe than that caused by the immediate effects of the storm. The elimination of 98 of the original survivors suggests potentially complex responses to catastrophes, involving disease and predation, which may explain the widely variable rates of reef recovery previously reported.

Ab: Coral reefs of north Jamaica, normally sheltered, were severely damaged by Hurricane Allen, the strongest Caribbean hurricane of this century. Immediate studies were made at Discovery Bay, where reef populations were already known in some detail. Data are presented to show how damage varied with the position and orientation of the substratum and with the shape, size and mechanical properties of exposed organisms. Data collected over succeeding weeks showed striking differences in the ability of organisms to heal and survive. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library. ID: 436 Au: Ohlhorst, S. L; Liddell, W. D. Ti: Hurricane damage to Jamaican coral reefs. So: Geological Society of America; 13: 522, 1981. Ab: The overall reef community structure was, for the most part less affected than might be expected, although much evidence of the storm (broken and toppled coral heads, detached sponges and gorgonians) was apparent. The severity of storm damage tended to decrease with depth; however the damage at any one depth was patchy. The percent coverage of some organisms (e.g. fleshy algae, coralline algae, corals) at certain reef sites did change after the storm; however, the relative abundance (ranking) of the various categories did not change significantly. The only consistent difference was the significant decrease in coral cover at all but the deepest (30m) site. This was primarily due to the loss of the branching coral, ACROPORA CERVICORNIS. Coral composition, as reflected by relative abundance and species diversity (H') changed little. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library. ID: 437 Au: Danaldson, L; Walters, W. O.

Co: Effects of June flood rains; Kingston, 27 Oct., 1979. Ab: This paper attempts to briefly review some aspects of the flood experience and to further evaluate the response to the transient phenomenon of the flood by natural scientists in particular. A presentation of this type cannot deal with all the aspects of the flood relevant to natural scientists, but such a comprehensive, scientific review of disaster events is advocated for the future as a part of a natural response to disasters. The major part of the paper review disasters within a famework of phases of disaster action and points out some of the action of scientist appropriate to each perceived phase. Using this crude model, an attempt is made to indicate some areas of concern and possible future counter disaster action by posing a series of questions to the scientific community. Some general conclusions are drawn from the studies done after the event. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

Ab: This paper attempts an analysis of the June 12 flood disaster using remote sensing techniques, with the addition of meteorological data supplied by the weather services of both Jamaica and the U.S.A. The following have been utilized: (1) NOAA weather satellite imagery. This has a resolution of one nautical mile (1.9 kms) in visible spectrum (daylight only) and four nautical miles (7.6kms) in the infrared capable of producing a nighttime image. (2) Hand-drawn cartographic facsimiles of radarscope generated imagery. These facsimiles are made by the staff of the Meteorological Division in Jamaica from the radarscope facility at Cooper's Hill near Kingston. (3) Verbal reports and summary of this radar imagery observed at Cooper's Hill, including the location and height of cloud tops. (4) Hemispheric and regional synoptic weather charts at six hourly intervals, including the upper air charts at mandatory levels. (5) Statistical data indicated in the bibliography. (6) Landsat colour-infrared composites (both transparencies and print), specifically authorized by NASA and taken on July 19, more than one month after the disaster, of the flood ravaged area. This imagery has a satisfactory resolution of 100 meters in the case of water bodies which show up strongly in the colour-infrared. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library.

Ab: Hurricane Allen threatened to be a storm of devastating potential in the Caribbean. Although it deepened on three occasions to the intensity of a category 5 storm on the Saffir-Simpson Scale, its track was such that the islands escaped the worst possible effects. Storm surge was the major cause of damage and this was compounded by wind and/or rain effects. Forecasts gave a clear indication of the magnitude of the threat and, except in Haiti, loss of life was very small. The track, variations in intensity and the landfall were predicted efficiently and errors in track position were smaller than the longer period averages for different forecast periods for other tropical cyclones.

Ab: The precipitation and temperature of Trinidad, West Indies, in the period 1921-66 have been investigated for evidence of oscillations. Statistical methods including variance spectrum analysis are employed in the investigation. The results indicate that while there has been fluctuations in temperature resulting in a rise of 4.8F between 1933 and 1958 and a decrease of 3.0F thereafter, oscillations in precipation have been more significant. The evidence is strong for significant oscillations of 2-2.5, 5-6, and 15 year periods. The effects of these oscillations on the water balance are discussed and the point is made that these oscillations, specifically in the dry-season precipation, ought to be considered by water resources and agri-business planners.

Au: Sealey, Neil E. Ti: Conservation and the coast: potential hazard in the Bahamas. So: Bahamas Naturalist; 6(2):29-34, Dec. 1982. Ab: The Bahamas marine environment is unique - nowhere else is there such a large area of shallow water (50,000 square miles) in such an amenable climate which is accessible to such a large group of people. Man's contact with this environment is mainly through the coast. Here he builds his towns, his docks, his homes, and his hotels, on the beaches themselves he spends much of his leisure time, and in the offshore region he may also fish, or dredge for minerals. Necessarily all this activity has some effect on the coast; much of it is harmless, but much of it is potentially damaging. In view of the enormous economic and social value of this area, it is obvious that man must be careful not to destroy it. It therefore follows that for every action he takes, he must be well aware of what the consequences might be. suprisingly often this not the case, man may take the coast for granted, or assume the responsibility for its conservation lies with others, or be prepared to sacrifice it for short term gain. Sound conservation of the coast demands that we know what can normally be expected to happen without man, and that we also know or find out what will happen when he uses it.

Ab: A study of the environmental laws of Trinidad and Tobago raises the question - "What is environmental law?" The starting point in answering this question is the word 'environment.' For the purpose of this study, environment may be defined as all of the surrounding conditions and influences that affect the development of things living and non-living. Environmental law as a judicial corpus is in its infancy in Trinidad and Tobago; indeed in many countries of the world. The recent attention that is being paid to this branch of the law is a direct result of the deterioration of the human and natural environment on a global scale. The time is perhaps right therefore, to examine those laws which have the capacity to control the manner in which we use our resources and the activities associated with this exploitation. This study is an attempt to arrange those laws which impinge upon our use of the environment into a co-ordinated whole. Lo: UWI, Mona, Science Library. ID: 525 Au: Underwood, J. R; Brewster, A.

Ab: The location of Maiden Cay (3 Km offshore) in the approaches to Kingston Harbour, and its close proximity to the shipping channel made it an ideal location to monitor beach tar pollution. Approximately 250 ships/month enter Kingston Harbour. Tar on the cay arises from tankers discharging oil into Jamaican coastal waters after leaving port. The levels and rate of arrival of tar on Maiden Cay were investigated. The specific gravity (SG) of beach tar balls was directly related to the sand content (r=0.92). Older tar balls tended to be heavily encrusted with sand and thus sank SG=1.3, and were repeatedly transported in both longitudinal and horizontal directions across the beach. Newly arrived beach tar had a lower specific gravity (SG=0.9), floated and was used to determine the rate of tar arrival. The entire cay was swept clean of tar and debris and sampled by means of wide transects over 12 days. It is estimated that the mean rate of arrival of fresh tar was 1,4 g/m/d.
