ReplyDeleteIn Indonesia a rescue helicopter crashes after a active volcano erupted. The crash killed all eight people on board and the volcano injured at least 10 people. Officials say the eruption was sudden and the volcano's name is Sileri and it's the most active and dangerous among 10 craters at Dieng Plateau. - Kendall Scarbrough

ReplyDeleteSuperstorm sandy is a power hurricane that had hit the costal areas of the north eastern region. The storm was such a sudden event it was hard to prepare for such a powerful storm. Questions began to come up about sea levels rising but researchers speculated sea levels wouldn't rise till 2050. This caused a question on if we should start preparing/plan to build protection or the start moving in land. Researchers also speculated that superstorm sand would rise sea levels. Being that the storm had started in the tropical's it had heat help strengthen the storm.
Heat when the vapor condenses in the atmosphere caused the storm to become that much stronger. To add to the disaster hurricane sandy had picked up another tropical storm causing it to be a hunting cyclone superstorm causing it to be the most intense storm it could be. Hurricane sandy was pushed up north because of the jet streams. In all superstorm sandy was an unknown disaster until it started to move up north. This storm was very powerful and took lives of many and damaging areas all around with New York costing 19 billion dollars and New Jersy costing $30 billion.

ReplyDeleteThis article explains the amount of destruction hurricane Sandy had led to the eastern shore of New York and parts of New Jersey. This article also explains how many homes in certain areas of New York were badly damaged. Especially on the Rockaways. This article also explains how much damage parts of New York City were affected. The Empire State Building lost all its power. Major flooding occurred. It was all in all a horrible, and massive path of destruction that no one was prepared for.

ReplyDeleteNew york public schools were closed for a whole week. Also the entire city had no power.
The article that i mostly found interesting was, Florida sinkhole that swallowed two homes, that stopped growing''. This article is mostly about how this hole was the largest in the country. The hole was 250 ft wide and 50 ft deep, stated in the article. They're were at least 11 homes that were affected by the sinkhole. Many people had a lot of health issues that they needed to help them. the chief said many people are nervous and do not know what to expect, He reply with "what can we do its mother nature ". they'll try what ever they can to keep them safe.

ReplyDeleteThis earthquake article thought me various facts about it, here are a few facts I learned about earthquakes. Most of these earthquakes take place in California, Japan, and New Zealand. These places are prone to earthquakes because of the geographical location and the tectonic plates. I also learned earthquakes can be caused by air rushing through air between rocks underground.

ReplyDeleteEarthquakes are the shaking of earth that are caused by waves moving on and below the earth's surface and which can cause many things such as tsunamis, landslides and other things as well.
Aggravating factors are the time of the event and the number and intensity of aftershocks. The absence of warning systems and lack of public awareness increases the amount of deaths and injuries from earthquake. The main public health threats vary according to the magnitude of the earthquake, the nature of the environment and the effects that can occure after the earthquake. Many people view not only from Earthquakes but the secondary effects from them.
There is a high risk of diseases mainly in areas affected by overcrowding. Impact of earthquakes on the health system include damage to health facilities and with subsequent disruption of service delivery, which can lead to reduced access to and functionality of all levels of health services. Absence of health workers who may not be able to reach the health facilities that are still functional, or whose homes and families may have been directly affected by the earthquake.
Reduced ability to pay for health services as affected households lose assets and livelihoods. Loss of medical supplies and interrupted procurement systems, with many stock-outs. Limit the risk of exposure to earthquakes by improving the quality of the built environment, with better land-use control, including regulating building. Ensure that health facilities are resilient to hazards, and that they are able to remain functional and able to respond to increased and changed health needs after earthquakes, with staff trained appropriately.

ReplyDeleteThis article informs how a volcano eruption caused a helicopter to crash after attempting to help some local people to evacuate. The eruption was taking place while about 17 visitors were around the crater. However this sudden eruption caused the helicopter to crash and kill all eight on board. There was 4 navy officers and 4 rescuers on board, 17 people were around the crater and 10 got injured.

ReplyDeleteThe article says that the state of Montana has recently had an eathquake that reached a magnitude of 5.8 . The reason they say this is because it is bringing up a lot of concerns for people who live around Yellowstone National Park. It concerns them because the supervolcano in there can possibly erupt.

ReplyDeleteI choose this article because North has suffered with something like this before but now it's something serious the drought messed up with food and crops. A drought can cause a wildfire especially I'm dry areas.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jul/15/florida-sinkhole-swallowed-homes-destroyed
ReplyDeleteIn this article, they talk about a natural disaster that we have not yet learned about but is still very scary and can cause people to lose there lives. In this article they talk about a sinkhole that swollows 2 homes in florida. The sinkhole is 250ft wide and 50ft deep. 11 homes had been affected, including the two that were destroyed. A third home lost about 45ft of driveway and a septic tank. Its good to do research on all types of natural disasters, just because its not as serious and some of the major one, dosnt mean it cant effect you.

ReplyDeleteThis website is really good for the simple fact that it tells you a lot that you need to know about natural disasters. For example there is an article stating that there might not be no more volcanic erruptions. The reason being because Once peak flow was reached, the researchers determined where the volcano was along the predicted curve of decreasing flow and therefore predict when the eruption will end.

ReplyDeleteIn this article it's basically explaining how much damage a flood can really do. Floods are the natural disaster that kill the most people. They are also the most common natural disaster

ReplyDeleteThis article talks about how Scientist used seismic noise to detect what was controlling Kīlauea's movement or in other words find how the pressure inside the volcano function. Also they say where they gotten this data for example in the article it states"Data was collected by the US Geological Survey across Kīlauea in Hawaii, a very active volcano with a lake of bubbling lava just beneath its summit". And last they found out that when magma moves underground, it mainly sets off tiny earthquakes, as it cracks through the earth surface.
Assess the damage and its consequences for people as quickly as possible and develop a recovery plan. Use scientific expertise in assessment.
ReplyDeleteEngage the local community in assessment, planning and rebuilding their environment. This not only rebuilds lives and economies; it provides disaster victims with a sense of dignity, value and purpose. Remember that by “healing one you heal the other.”
Pay attention to over-exploitation of natural resources in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. People put more pressure on resources after a disaster. This can push an ecosystem from sustainability to collapse.
Engage the brightest scientific minds, with the best engineering/technological advances and with the community leaders. This ensures sustainable solutions that will fit the culture and needs of the community.
In recovery efforts it is important to identify the

Hurricane Sandy was a post tropical cyclone that caused many deaths. The storm was so strong that it was refereed to as the Frankenstorm. Hurricane Sandy is known to be one of the Strongest hurricanes experienced.
"Bulges in Volcanoes Could Be Used To Predict Eruptions:"
ReplyDeleteDate of article: 6/28/17:
Scientists have found out a new way to study volcanoes. They measured the energy moving through volcanoes and found a good correlation between the speed of which the energy travels and the buldging and shriking of the rocks. They studied the active volcanoe, Kilauea, and measured the seismic movements first. There is a lava lake and below this there is a reservoir of magma. As the magma chamber fills up, it causes an increase in pressure, which leads to cracks closing in the surrounding rock and producing faster seismic waves. Usually seismology measured small earthquakes and volcanoes, and also lava flow could cause mini earthquakes, making them easy to detect, but lava would sometimes flow silently and be hard to detect. However, this new method could be used on hundreds of active volcanoes all throughout the world and provide another, easier way to detect incoming volcanoes.

The article was mostly about natural disasters like volcanic eruptions. How the new way too see how scientists study volcanoes in modern day
ReplyDeletehttps://www.livescience.com/topics/natural-disastersThe natural disasters have destroy all over the united states. the hurrican has kill many people . also many people had injuries from the disasters. also the families that where in this storm they lost many families and friends. so the people that have survive they had to find shelter and food to survive.
