Hurricane Preparedness
Hurricane Preparedness
June 1 sends shudders down the spine of nearly every person living along the Gulf of Mexico. Just the thought of Hurricane Season beginning brings up memories of the toppled trees and flooded homes from Hurricane Katrina for most St. Tammany residents. But, while the storm shattered many lives and destroyed even more homes, it taught those in south Louisiana one thing – be prepared.

I know the US does a lot less for its own citizens than it does for other countries.
And I do not think it is a race issue, I think it is a class issue, how disasters are/would be handled. I am sure that if there was a disaster in Beverly Hills and a disaster in my hometown at the same time, Beverly Hills would get help a lot faster, and a lot more would be done to help people in danger there than people in danger in my town.

In my humble opinion, the kind of dust comimg from the Sahara will reduce the chances to see a hurricane to form. I have experienced it on the Canary islands and it really veils the sun, thus reducing the heat and the thermal difference needed to see the strong convection associated wtih a hurricane.
Furthermore, the dust from the Sahara that moves westward with the trade winds (and northward as the Sirroco, in Italy!) is more north than the usual path of the tropical storms that end as hurricanes. Those are usually born west of the Cape Verde islands when the sea temperature reaches above 27 degrees Celsius.
An already formed hurricane, i.e. a tropical storm with wind forces equal or superior to Beaufort scale 12, will not be affected by the dust of the Sahara because it will move faster than what would come after it. If the dust is ahead of the hurricane, I guess it will simply slow it down.
Tropical and sub-tropical weather is not my speciality but I think it makes sense to think that a heavily dust saturated air would increase the albedo and therefore, reduce the power of a tropical cyclone.

Actions to take when a hurricane is coming are >>>>
Board up all windows to help prevent broken windows.
Secure all outdoor furniture to reduce the amount of damage to it, and to help prevent it from being thrown against your (or someone else's) home, and causing more damage to the exterior of the home and the outdoor furniture.
Turn off gas to prevent gas leaks from broken or damaged gas lines.
Stock up on battery powered flashlights, candles, and have a battery powered radio.
Stock up on bottled water, as well as non-perishable foods that can be prepared and eaten without having to be cooked. Be sure to have enough food and water to last for everyone in the home for a week, including pets. And don't forget a can opener and a clean, sharp pocket knife.
If you have an infant on a bottle, have enough bottles on hand so that you won't have to worry about how you can wash them if there is no clean water. And be sure to either have single use sized cans of formula, or an ice chest with plenty of ice to store any opened cans of formula.
Stock up on anti-bacterial hand wipes, gel hand cleaners and paper towels in the event there is no water for washing or bathing.
Have a two week supply of any prescription medications, as well as personal care items (tooth brushes and paste, hygiene products, etc.).
Have a well stocked first aid kit in the event of injuries. Disinfectants, antiseptics, antibiotic creams, bandanges, cotton balls, aspirin, Tylenol, and a thermometer are some of the basics you need.
Make sure all vehicles have a full gas tank.
Have several changes of clothing for each member of the household, and if you have a baby still in diapers, have a two week supply on hand.
Select the innermost part of your home, on the ground floor, to ride out the storm, but not a basement or cellar. In the event of flooding, being in those areas of your home may make it impossible to escape. Stay away from all windows and glass doors!
Have mattresses, blankets, pillows, etc. already in place before the storm hits.
It would also be a good idea to purchase a bedside commode in the event the water and plumbing is rendered out of order during the storm. You can line the receptacle bucket with small garbage bags to make clean-up much easier and more sanitary. These can be purchased from any medical supply store, as well as many drug stores.
Have a supply of books, puzzles, toys, etc. in the event the electricity is off, especially if you have children.
You may want to purchase a portable generator, which costs about $500 for an average sized one. This is especially important if someone in the household is on oxygen or other electrical powered medical equipment; it will also keep the foods in your refrigerator/freezer from spoiling in the event of an electrical outage. But if you do use a generator, be sure to follow all instructions and safety precautions that come with it, and do not operate it indoors (carbon monoxide!).
Fill all bath tubs with clean water; it can be used for sponge baths, flushing toilets, etc. But if there are young children or pets in the home, be sure the door is kept securely closed at all times to prevent a child or pet from falling in the tub and drowning. A young child can drown in two inches of water!
Go over emergency instructions with everyone in the household such as everyone staying together, away from all windows, etc.
Also, if there are several members in the household, develop an "accounting system", where everyone is accounted for at all times in the event the storm gets really intense. Since tornadoes are common during hurricanes, this system is extremely important.
Since water/flooding caused by tidal surge is the leading cause of death and destruction in hurricanes, it is crucial to be aware of your surroundings. If you observe water coming into your house, get to an upper floor immediately.
If you have pets that stay outside, bring them in during the storm; they deserve safety and comfort, too.
Have enough cash on hand to last for a while in the event you can't get to the bank or an ATM.
Do not wait until the last day to purchase supplies (food, water, etc.) or you run the risk of there being very little, or even none, of the supplies left that you need. It's a good idea to stock up on all non-perishables at the beginning of hurricane season.
It would also be a good idea to have a cell phone, fully charged, with you so you will have a way to call emergency services if needed, and to contact family/friends to let them know if you are all ok. Just keep in mind, though, that the cell towers may not be working for a while, so it would be a good idea to have a back-up plan to notify family/friends.
It is recommended to print this and save for the next hurricane season, rather than trying to rely on memory to take all precautions, and store it in an easily accessible place.,

1) Weaponized Small pox unleashed in an area where it speads quickly before being recognized.
2) A disaster occurs where utilities are destroyed, say hurricane and there is a Cholera outbreak.
3) A number of infected persons walk off an international flight and seperate to infect persons inside confined spaces.
4) Using a biological like to infect products used by the general pubic and shipped all over the world

If world governments could turn to a central information source on natural disasters, many lives could be saved through better preparedness Devastating natural disasters have killed close to a million people and caused billions of pounds of damage in the past few years. Despite its sophisticated technology, humanity remains hugely vulnerable to earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions and other calamities. The danger is only likely to increase, say geologists and weather experts. Earth’s swelling numbers are forcing more and more people to live in geological and meteorological danger zones. As a result, death tolls are destined to rise. In addition, human impact on the climate, which is warming relentlessly as more and more carbon dioxide is pumped into the atmosphere from cars, factories and power stations, will also worsen the problem. At higher latitudes, melting glaciers and ice sheets will modify the pressures acting on tectonic plates and volcanoes, potentially provoking more…

i'll take what's behind door #1!
well, the emergency preparedness kit is something a whole lot of people, including myself don't have or don't maintain. living 15 minutes from San Francisco and being as close as I am to a fault line we definitely should get something stashed away other than rice and candies.
geez… you really got me thinking now, there's only one route into our valley and if anything happens to that route… well, i have no idea how ground crews would be able to reach us.
if you know people who read paper books and you know exactly what they want or need, a book would be great but i'd still definitely appreciate the preparedness kit.
here's my finally answer:
the preparedness kit PLUS the book. that way they'd have something to do if an emergency happens where they HAVE to wait around for help or for the possible hurricane to pass. A game book & pen would be nice. ^_^

Power rationing across the country has also contributed to the rise in prices, with many industries forced to use fuel-guzzling generators for much of their production.
“Prices are rising night after night; I have to hold my breath when entering the market because of the rising food prices,” said Sara Lamunu, a resident of Gulu, northern Uganda. “Last Wednesday a kilo of sugar was 6,000 shillings [$2.19] but this morning the price has risen to 9,000 shillings [$3.30].”
“I no longer fry food because a litre of cooking oil costs 4,500 shillings [$1.64],” said Alice Atto, another Gulu resident.
According to Musa Ecweru, the Minister for Disaster Preparedness, exports of food to South Sudan, Somalia and Kenya had contributed to the high food prices.
Opposition parties and civilians have threatened a resumption of the “Walk to Work” protests that saw the government crack down violently on protesters in April, injuring Kizza Besigye, leader of the country’s largest opposition party.
