Hawaii Natural Disasters

The presentation will cover several areas dealing with the university’s ability to prepare for an emergency or catastrophic event. The areas covered include:

I t is the year 2300 in Hawaii, and we have been surviving on the consumption of Kelp for some long time now. Well today I say it is over on growing and using Kelp for our own main food source and consumption. Even though we are in a post-apocalyptic Hawaii, we all gotta stick together and find a better way or idea on getting food for us. To be able to get our population back on track to a growing population again, we need to get rid of the corporation that's doing the production of Kelp. The kelp is spreading a disease that's killing our children and people that we know and love that we all dearly miss so much. So this is why I’m trying to convince you authorities on looking into this issue and stopping the

On December 7th, 1941, a tragic event happened. Pearl Harbor, Hawaii got bombed. Nearly twenty vessels destroyed or damaged, leaving more than two thousand four hundred people dead and one thousand people injured. It was a tragic moment in Hawaii and what Japan thought was a victorious moment for them. Little did Japan know that the United States had some tricks up their sleeve. John F. Kennedy declared war.

The ultimate goal for this program is to increase shared knowledge. Each child that attends The Pillowcase Project class represents a ‘share’, the more ‘shares’ the more information is taught allowing the information to disseminate throughout the community. The goal for the Metropolitan Atlanta Red Cross Chapter is to teach the preparedness curriculum to 1500 students within the neighboring counties we by the next fiscal year. This program addresses the public health issue of individuals, families, and communities being ill-prepared for an emergency, be it due to a man-made or natural disaster. This program was designed to target

When most people think of Hawaii, they think about this beautiful lush island with hula girls and luaus. Hawaii has beautiful beaches with tons of beautiful half naked people. Hawaii is the surf spot of the United States. The Hawaiian people are usually thought to be of a bigger stature and have thick Hawaiian accents. The show definitely exploits the nice parts Hawaii and their culture. The resorts have hula girls and luaus and Hawaii has some of the nicest beaches and best surf. Not all Hawaiian people are big and have thick accents. One of the characters on the show is a Hawaiian that is bigger in stature and has a thick accent. All of the scenery in the show exploits the beautiful parts of Hawaii. From my personal experience, I know

DePaolo, Edward, and Thomas, all professors and researchers of geology study hotspot volcanoes, and their impact on Hawaii. Their study is based on a major drilling project based in Hawaii. Drilling is a crucial aspect of gaining insight on volcanoes, because it provides samples of lava, which then provides information about Earth’s mantle. Scientists can then retrieve information from the mantle, such as the age of the volcano and its temperature. Experts say that drilling could be valuable for collecting information about other volcanoes and their mantles.

According to the CNN news, for residents of the big island of Hawaii, Friday May4 was a day of fraught which caused fear and tragic to people who live at the island as a strong earthquake shook their homes and many of the residents were forced to leave their place for their own safety. The US Geological Survey seismologist Jana Pursley said The Kilauea volcano 6.9 quake was the most powerful on the island since 1975. This explored case problem to the residents and tourist who are happening to stay nearby where the erupted located.

“it’s been now 4 years since we have been living in this disgusting, pigsty of a building” says Luna, “well you should stop complaining because this is where we could be staying for a while since the outbreak, over one seventh of the world is now contaminated” says Quinn Furiously, “we have to do something or it’ll be too late”. “I heard the world is going to end anyway so what’s the point, we should just stay here until the time comes, we can do anything about it” says Luna in a negative tone. “don’t be like that, you know all the kind of stuff is just fake” adds Sarai, Quinn then turns the TV turns on, “Breaking News, geologists have predicted that the world will end from major activity underneath the earth’s surface and will create many natural disasters”, “I told you this is going to happen” says Luna.

Everyone was assured that there was no community not being taken care of, but that doesn’t mean people are in the best of conditions (Document C). Evacuation Sites are like multiple tents that people are trying to live in until conditions get better. There are 22,816 families that have been placed into Evacuation Centers, and 55,769 families that are outside of Evacuation Centers (Document D). There are only 93 evacuation centers, so people everyday are building more Evacuation Centers, but with the lack of supplies, they aren’t able to build it fast enough. Families that are lucky enough to get into evacuation centers, they are provided with supplies and blankets to help keep them warm and safe (Document E).

The survivors of any natural disaster will be bereft of their livelihood and basic necessities.

You see, most of us think that just because we're a small public school located in the south of Hawaii that we aren't capable of achieving immense triumphs.

Volcanic eruptions, in its simplest form, is when molten lava, gasses and ash are released and expelled out of the earth’s mantle from built up pressure. The liquid rock, or magma start to bubble and release gas which creates extreme pressure. A volcanic eruption occurs when the pressure pushes the magma and gasses to a crack or fissure in the surface of the mantle where it explodes out.

In conclusion, this was the survey that has been done at Sylvania Campus’s buildings by the Makasi Construction. Sylvania is a beautiful campus that received many college students, but its structures present a danger in case of an earthquake. The excessive used of concrete in construction makes them fragile and easy to collapse in case of an emergency. Therefore, materials like woods and bricks will help Portland Community College to rehabilitate its buildings for a safe and better place to

In addition ,tsunamis occur in many different places .This natural disaster mainly occurs in the Pacific ocean and Indonesia.This happens because the Pacific rim

Located on the pacific ring of fire (Figure 2), New Zealand has encountered strong earthquakes throughout its history, typically experiencing 20,000 detectable earthquakes per annum (GNS, 2015). Because of this, New Zealand enforced strict building codes that permit buildings to become more earthquake resistant by ensuring structural stability and durability to withstand earthquake forces. These codes were regularly updated simultaneously with the development of new technologies (Dunlevy-Wilson, 2011). Despite strict regulations, over 900 buildings in the CBD and 10,000 homes were demolished as a result of the Christchurch earthquake. This was partly due to the first M7.1 quake weakening buildings and the mere fact that not all pre-1970s buildings had been upgraded yet. Public awareness was also a vital method to increase safety of the community; hazard educational programs created by MCDEM (Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management, 2009) provided comprehensive instructions on emergency evacuation and preparedness (Coomer et al., 2012).
