Book Synopsis Volcanic-hazard Zonation for Glacier Peak Volcano, Washington by : Richard B. Waitt
Download or read book Volcanic-hazard Zonation for Glacier Peak Volcano, Washington written by Richard B. Waitt and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volcanic hazards at Glacier Peak result from several different phenomena: tephra fall, pyroclastic flows, pyroclastic surges, ballistic ejection, debris avalanches, lahars, and floods. Lahars represent the greatest hazard, followed by tephra fall. We describe each of these phenomena, the damage it can cause, its history of occurrence at Glacier Peak (if known), and where around Glacier Peak that damage is most likely to occur.

This book was released on 2000-07-26 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has more than 65 active or potentially active volcanoes, more than those of all other countries except Indonesia and Japan. During the twentieth century, volcanic eruptions in Alaska, California, Hawaii, and Washington devastated thousands of square kilometers of land, caused substantial economic and societal disruption and, in some instances, loss of life. More than 50 U.S. volcanoes have erupted one or more times in the past 200 years. Recently, there have been major advances in our understanding of how volcanoes work. This is partly because of detailed studies of eruptions and partly because of advances in global communications, remote sensing, and interdisciplinary cooperation. The mission of the Volcano Hazards Program (VHP) is to "lessen the harmful impacts of volcanic activity by monitoring active and potentially active volcanoes, assessing their hazards, responding to volcanic crises, and conducting research on how volcanoes work." To provide a fresh perspective and guidance to the VHP about the future of the program, the Geologic and Water Resources Divisions of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) requested that the National Research Council conduct an independent and comprehensive review. Review of the U. S. Geological Survey's Volcano Hazards Program is organized around the three components of hazards mitigation. Chapter 2 deals with research and hazard assessment. Chapter 3 covers monitoring and Chapter 4 discusses crisis response and other forms of outreach conducted by the VHP. Chapter 5 describes various cross-cutting programmatic issues such as staffing levels, data formats, and partnerships. Chapter 6 offers a vision for the future of the Volcano Hazards Program, and Chapter 7 summarizes the conclusions and recommendations of the preceding chapters. Throughout the report, major conclusions are printed in italics and recommendations in bold type. The committee has written this report for several different audiences. The main audience is upper management within the USGS and the VHP. However, the committee believes that scientists within the VHP will also find the report valuable. The report is written in such a manner as to be useful to congressional staff as well.

Book Synopsis Volcanic Hazards at Mount Rainier, Washington by : Dwight Raymond Crandell
Download or read book Volcanic Hazards at Mount Rainier, Washington written by Dwight Raymond Crandell and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During postglacial time Mount Rainier volcano apparently was characterized by long quiet periods punctuated by brief episodes of activity; thus, its present dormant state cannot be regarded as a reliable sign that the volcano is now extinct. If the pattern of past activity continues, a substantial steam, pumice, or lava eruption might occur on an average of one each 500-1,000 years. The direct hazard presented by future eruptions of lava, pumice, or steam is not regarded as great, but such eruptions may cause devastating floods and debris flows. Whatever their origin, debris flows are regarded as a major hazard because of their frequency and movement along valley floors where works of man are concentrated. Their destructive effects can be minimized by careful land-use planning on valley floors.--p.24.

Book Synopsis Living in Lahar Zones by : Kimberley Anne Corwin
Download or read book Living in Lahar Zones written by Kimberley Anne Corwin and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the number of people living at risk from volcanic hazards in the U.S. Pacific Northwest grows, more detailed studies of community hazard exposure, risk perception, and preparedness levels become critical to developing effective mitigation, response, and recovery plans. This thesis uses risk mapping and a knowledge, risk perception, and preparedness survey to examine the risk that lahars from Mount Baker and Glacier Peak volcanoes pose to nearby communities in the Skagit Valley (WA). The risk map component of this research identifies spatial variations in lahar risk and estimates potential losses associated with a maximum envisioned lahar. The survey component seeks to (1) explore the existence of a disconnect between accurate risk perception and adequate preparedness; (2) isolate the factors that facilitate or present barriers to the adoption of preparedness behaviors; and (3) determine how professional participation in hazard risk management influences knowledge, risk perception, and preparedness in the Skagit Valley. Elements of the Protective Motivation Theory (PMT) and Values-Beliefs-Norms (VBN) theory are used to frame the survey results. The risk maps generated in this study show that towns with populations smaller than 1,000 people (e.g., Concrete, Lyman) will likely be disproportionately affected by lahars, supporting the findings of Diefenbach et al. (2015). Lahar zones intersect large portions of these smaller towns, including critical roads that link them to nearby towns and emergency services. Such a loss of infrastructure would greatly reduce response capacity. Burlington represents one of the most at-risk towns in the Skagit Valley since a relatively large population (8,466) lives in this city that is almost entirely in the lahar zone. In a total loss scenario, the maximum envisioned lahar would place nearly 40,000 lives at risk along with extensive tracts of residential and agricultural land. Overall monetary damages could amount to over $5 billion (total assessed value) and nearly $62 million in tax revenue. Additional geologic modeling of lahar paths would greatly improve the ability to produce more complex loss scenarios. Results from over 500 survey responses indicate that a disconnect exists between perception and preparedness among respondents. The 82 percent of respondents who accurately anticipate that future volcanic hazards will impact the Skagit Valley fail to prepare more than those unaware of the hazard. When asked what prevents them from preparing, respondents deny that perceived response-efficacy and perceived protective response pose substantial barriers. Perceived self-efficacy and ascription of responsibility beliefs appear to play a more dominant role in determining preparedness behaviors, albeit a less readily recognized role. Ascription of responsibility beliefs (VBN) seems to explain an element of preparedness motivation not fully incorporated within PMT. Finally, results show that professional participation in response-related activities minimally influences household preparedness, but successfully improves perceived self-efficacy, confidence in officials, and information seeking behavior. Thus, participation's affect on household preparedness may be tied to specific types of participation (e.g., public, professional, specific training programs), whereas self-efficacy and confidence in officials, being independent of participation type, may improve due to increased interaction with emergency officials."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.
