This book was released on 2014-02-19 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hurricanes Katrina and Rita made landfall in 2005, subjecting the coastal marsh communities of Louisiana to various degrees of exposure. We collected data after the storms at 30 sites within fresh (12), brackish/intermediate (12), and saline (6) marshes to document the effects of saltwater storm surge and sedimentation on marsh community dynamics. The 30 sites were comprised of 15 pairs. Most pairs contained one site where data collection occurred historically (that is, prestorms) and one Coastwide Reference Monitoring System site.

This book was released on 2007-07-13 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public health officials have the traditional responsibilities of protecting the food supply, safeguarding against communicable disease, and ensuring safe and healthful conditions for the population. Beyond this, public health today is challenged in a way that it has never been before. Starting with the 9/11 terrorist attacks, public health officers have had to spend significant amounts of time addressing the threat of terrorism to human health. Hurricane Katrina was an unprecedented disaster for the United States. During the first weeks, the enormity of the event and the sheer response needs for public health became apparent. The tragic loss of human life overshadowed the ongoing social and economic disruption in a region that was already economically depressed. Hurricane Katrina reemphasized to the public and to policy makers the importance of addressing long-term needs after a disaster. On October 20, 2005, the Institute of Medicine's Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine held a workshop which convened members of the scientific community to highlight the status of the recovery effort, consider the ongoing challenges in the midst of a disaster, and facilitate scientific dialogue about the impacts of Hurricane Katrina on people's health. Environmental Public Health Impacts of Disasters: Hurricane Katrina is the summary of this workshop. This report will inform the public health, first responder, and scientific communities on how the affected community can be helped in both the midterm and the near future. In addition, the report can provide guidance on how to use the information gathered about environmental health during a disaster to prepare for future events.

Download or read book Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the Coastal Louisiana Ecosystem Restoration written by Jeffrey Zinn and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused widespread damage and destruction along the central Gulf Coast. Prior to these hurricanes, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had been seeking approval from the 109th Congress for a 1.1 billion multi-year program to both construct five projects that would help to restore portions of the coastal wetland ecosystem in Louisiana and continue planning several other related projects. The state of Louisiana and several federal agencies have participated in the development of this program. This report introduces this program, and discusses whether it might have muted the impacts of hurricanes of the magnitude and paths of Katrina or Rita and whether the devastation caused by both hurricanes might cause the Corps to consider different restoration options. The National Research Council issued a report in November 2005 that may help inform the current debate over restoration. This report will be updated.

Download or read book Effects of Hurricane Katrina on the Mammalian and Vegetative Communities of the Barrier Islands of Mississippi written by Annaliese K. Scoggin and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The barrier islands of the gulf coast of the U.S. have been shaped and changed by hurricanes for centuries. These storms can alter the vegetation of the barrier islands by redistributing sediments, scouring off vegetation, physical damage to the plants, and by salt stress following the storm. Hurricanes also alter the mammal communities of the barrier islands through direct mortality and by altering vegetative communities. It is important to understand how the vegetation of barrier islands recovers after major hurricanes because the vegetation provides the structure that maintains and builds these islands. Following the landfall of Hurricane Katrina in August of 2005, I studied the changes in the herbaceous ground cover and the density of woody plants in Gulf Islands National Seashore in Mississippi from the winter of 2005 to the summer of 2007. Growth from existing plants and seed banks quickly revegetated the islands after the storm. The amount of live ground cover increased and bare ground decreased on each island and in every vegetation type. Most woody plant species also showed a net increase in density, with the exception of pine (Pinus elliottii) and Florida rosemary (Ceratiola ericoides). The regeneration of woody species and the uniform increase in the live ground cover seemed to indicate that the vegetation of the islands was not irreversibly impacted. I also studied the changes in the composition of mammal populations in Gulf Islands National Seashore from the winter of 2005 to the summer of 2007. Prior to the storm 11 terrestrial mammal species were recorded in studies of the barrier islands. In the 2 years following Hurricane Katrina, I recorded only 1 of the 7 species on Cat Island, 5 of the 9 species on Horn Island and 2 species each on East Ship, West Ship, and Petit Bois Islands (which previously had 4, 4, and 2 each). Populations of mammals that used multiple vegetation types (raccoons [Procyon lotor], nutria [Myocastor coypus], and eastern cottontail [Sylvilagus floridanus]) seemed to show more tolerance to hurricane disturbance than more specialized species (black rat [Rattus rattus], marsh rice rat [Oryzomys palustris]). I also recorded at least one colonization event by river otter (Lutra canadensis), a species not recently recorded on the islands. This research serves as a baseline for future comparison following similar storms.
