NASA Data Helps Pinpoint Impacted Populations In Disaster Aftermath - ScienceDaily (June 13, 2008) — When two catastrophic natural disasters struck within days of each other in May 2008, disaster relief, humanitarian aid, and health officials, as well as members of the news media tapped into a unique set of NASA data products describing the location of the exposed populations. In the hours and days following the cyclone in Burma and the earthquake in China’s Sichuan Province, workers had the data they needed to assess the numbers of people possibly affected in these deadly events. What arose was a timely example of how NASA data comes to the aid of officials when such disasters occur.

Dune And Dirty: Hurricane Teaches Lessons Through Ecosystem Research - ScienceDaily (Dec. 15, 2008) — Dr. Rusty Feagin was managing several ecosystem research projects on Galveston Island when the 2008 hurricane season began. Then he got an unexpected visit from a research assistant named Ike.

But with the 2008 hurricane season officially over, Feagin has noted the changes and will begin again. His research over the years, however....

Small-Scale Fires Key To Understanding Forest Structure - ScienceDaily (Mar. 31, 1998) — Boston, Mass. -- For 94 years, forest caretakers have restricted Mother Nature by suppressing forest fires. Now a Penn State geographer wants to know what the forests would have been like if we'd let them burn.

Resource managers are interested in restoring forests to what they were like before the arrival of Euroamericans,' says R. Matthew Beaty, graduate student in geography. 'To restore forests, we need to understand their natural variability.' What Beaty and Dr. Alan H. Taylor, associate professor of geography, are finding is that variation on a fairly local scale is important and that the environment, especially the topography, is key. The researchers examined pairs of aerial photographs from 1941 and 1993, and noted significa....

  Part 1/3: Understanding risk management for the Cybersecurity Act (NIP..   ehstoday.com The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has completed 17 sector-specific plans (ssps) in support of the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP). The NIPP outlines a comprehensive risk management framework that defines critical infrastructure protection roles and responsibilities for all levels of government and private industry. 'The consequences of an assault against America's vast network of critical infrastructure sites could be dire, both in loss of life and in economic impact,' said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. 'At the same time, we must avoid imposing onerous security measures that would damage or make economically impractical the very systems that we're trying to protect. The security roadmap announced today reflects unprecedented coordination among the public and private sectors. These plans are already significantly strengthening vital infrastructure and reducing vulnerability to all hazards terrorist attack and natural disaster alike.' H..

Question : please hurry!need to start my social project.anybody please answer by saturday (3rd jan 09)

Answer : I live in Miami, Florida . . . where Hurricanes come and destroy entire neighborhoods . . . When citizens are responsible, self-reliant types . . . they don't NEED any government help. We board up our windows . . . and ride out the storm. It is the slackers, the do-nothings, who whine and say, 'Where it the government to help me?' Want to see what I mean? Look at Katrina in Louisiana . . . . . very different situation than Hurricane Andrew in Miami. Dan in Miami
