Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around the world disaster vulnerability is on the rise. The incidence and intensity of disasters have increased in recent decades with lives being shattered and resources being destroyed across broad geographic regions each year. As it swept across the Honduran landscape, the exceptional size, power and duration of Hurricane Mitch abruptly and brutally altered the already diminished economic, social, and environmental conditions of the population. In the aftermath of the disaster a group of seven socio-environmental scientists set out to investigate the root causes of the heightened vulnerability that characterized pre-Mitch Honduras, the impact of the catastrophe on the local society, and the subsequent recovery efforts. Edited by Marisa O. Ensor, this volume presents the findings of their investigation. The Legacy of Hurricane Mitch offers a comprehensive analysis of the immediate and long-term consequences of Hurricane Mitch in Honduras. Based on longitudinal ethnographic fieldwork and environmental assessments, this volume illustrates the importance of adopting an approach to disaster research and practice that places “natural” trigger events within their political, cultural, and socio-economic contexts. The contributors make a compelling case against post-disaster recovery efforts that limit themselves to alleviating the symptoms, rather than confronting the root causes of the vulnerability that prefigured the disaster.

Book excerpt: As part of the U.S. Govenment's program to assist Central America in the recovery from Hurricane Mitch, the USGS conducted...activities in Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala. This effort was designed to strengthen the affected countries' ability at both the national and local levels to mitigate, prepare for, and respond to future natural disasters by: facilitating access to basic data and information such as maps and aerial photography; conducting flood and landslide risk assessments; installing national stream-flow monitoring systems; conducting coastal assessments of biological resources; developing an internet data clearinghouse in each country; providing geographic information system (GIS) hardware and software, and other equipment for disaster mitigation, preparedness, response, and urban management; and strengthening the capacity of counterpart agencies by formal training courses and by including their specialists in project activities.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hurricane Mitch was considered one of the strongest hurricanes of the century. While pasing through Honduras and Nicaragua, it weakened and generated intense rain that triggered widespread landslides and flooding. The objective of this thesis was to test two models to determine the feasibility of creating landslide hazard maps. Data were used to determine how landslide occurrence was affected by the variables in the model. Four easily observable variables were used for both models: slope, aspect, stream proximity and land cover type. A heuristic adaptation approach and a logistic regression approache were developed based on the data from Namasigue watershed. Once landslide hazard maps wee developed and tested for accuracy using the Namasigue data, they were applied to El Triunfo. The degree of slope influences the occurrence of landslides. Land cover seems to have and influence on landslide activity. Forest and shrub fallow appear to decrease the probability of land being affected by landslides. The landslide hazard map suggests that forests and shrub fallows might also offer a protective cover and, thus reduce landslide activity. The percentage of land affected by landslides increases at a second degree polynomial rate as slope increases in bare soil, crops and grass fallow cover types. Therefore, vegetation removal seems to increase landslide activity. The heuriistic adaptation approach seems to be a consistent method to assess landslide activity since the validation process showed similar resuts in terms of hazard category distribution. The logistic regression approach results did not show consistency in terms of the distribution o landlides by hazard category. Further research and adjustments need to be performed to assess transportability of the logistic regression approach.
