    Extractions: Introduction 1999 was an infamous year. Massive hurricanes, deadly tornadoes and treacherous floods were just a few of the natural disasters that the United States encountered. FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) provided support and services for over 2 million victims, but many lives were still lost. In January of 2000 a meeting was held in Washington D.C. to discuss the effects of the disasters. They discovered that many people are not informed on the severity of natural disasters and how to survive them. This year FEMA is organizing a task force of middle school students to educate the public before disaster strikes again!!! Task Your job is to create either a web page, brochure or poster that informs citizens on how to prepare for a natural disaster. Your packet must include three before, during, and after tips on surviving the disaster and an example of a family action plan. The family action plan should be a paragraph describing specific steps your family would take if this disaster happened to you. This plan can be written in steps or in paragraph form and should include at least 2 examples from the text. To begin your project, click a few natural disasters that interest you. Then chose one that you would like to do your project on. Blizzards Floods Earthquakes Hurricanes ... Tornadoes

The most famous snowstorm in American history, the Blizzard of 1888, has acquired an almost legendary status. Although there have been many heavier snowfalls as well as significantly lower temperatures , the blizzard's combination of inclement conditions has been unmatched in 110 years. The U.S. Weather Service defines a blizzard as a storm with winds of more than 35 miles an hour and snow that limits visibility to 500 feet or less. A severe blizzard is defined as having winds exceeding 45 miles an hour, visibility of a quarter mile or less, and temperatures of 10 degrees F or lower.

    Extractions: Blizzard of 1888, 14th St. between 5th and 6th Avenues looking West, March 1888. The most famous snowstorm in American history, the Blizzard of 1888, has acquired an almost legendary status. Although there have been many heavier snowfalls as well as significantly lower temperatures , the blizzard's combination of inclement conditions has been unmatched in 110 years. The U.S. Weather Service defines a blizzard as a storm with winds of more than 35 miles an hour and snow that limits visibility to 500 feet or less. A severe blizzard is defined as having winds exceeding 45 miles an hour, visibility of a quarter mile or less, and temperatures of 10 degrees F or lower. Today's Weather Fact The "Great White Hurricane," as it was called, paralyzed the East Coast from the Chesapeake Bay to Maine. Telegraph and telephone wires snapped, isolating New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington for days. Two hundred ships were grounded, and at least one hundred seamen died. Fire stations were immobilized, and property loss from fire alone was estimated at $25 million. Overall, more than 400 deaths were reported. The days leading up to the blizzard were unseasonably mild, with temperatures in the 40s and 50s along the East Coast. Torrential rains began falling, and on March 12th the rain changed to heavy snow, temperatures plunged, and a ferocious wind began. The storm continued unabated for the next 36 hours. Sources vary, but National Weather service estimated that fifty inches of snow fell in Connecticut and Massachusetts and forty inches covered New York and New Jersey. Winds blew up to 48 miles an hour, creating snowdrifts forty to fifty feet high. The resulting transportation crisis led to the creation of the New York

    Extractions: NOAA/FEMA/The American Red Cross Winter's Impact Sometimes winter storms are accompanied by strong winds creating blizzard conditions with blinding wind-driven snow, severe drifting, and dangerous wind chill. Strong winds with these intense storms and cold fronts can knock down trees, utility poles, and power lines. Storms near the coast can cause coastal flooding and beach erosion as well as sink ships at sea. In the West and Alaska, winds descending off the mountains can gust to 100 mph or more damaging roofs and other structures. Extreme cold often accompanies a winter storm or is left in its wake. Prolonged exposure to the cold can cause frostbite or hypothermia and become life-threatening. Infants and elderly people are most susceptible. What constitutes extreme cold and its effect varies across different areas of the United States. In areas unaccustomed to winter weather, near freezing temperatures are considered "extreme cold." Freezing temperatures can cause severe damage to citrus fruit crops and other vegetation. Pipes may freeze and burst in homes that are poorly insulated or without heat. In the north, below zero temperatures may be considered as "extreme cold." Long cold spells can cause rivers to freeze, disrupting shipping. Ice jams may form and lead to flooding.

    Extractions: Prior to the actual Blizzard we had experienced previous snow accumulations that compounded the impact of blowing winds (at times over 60 MPH) associated with the actual Blizzard and its related snow accumulations. The Blizzard of January 1978 presented so many emergencies and calls for assistance that it would take a mountain of paper to document in their entirety. What I am attempting to do here in this limited space is provide a few examples of the difficulties faced by the citizenry of Muncie / Delaware County Indiana during and after the Blizzard of 1978, so the reader can at least grasp some inkling of the nature of problems and suffrage that was present. It is my sincere hopes that someday adequate planning will eventually become incorporated to permit citizens to be safer when faced with large scale disaster situations, and link together pre-agreements from volunteer groups and professional agencies (without political power brokerage overtones) working together for one mission of assisting persons in dire need during such crisis.

67. "Going Beyond The Call": The Blizzard Of 1888
    Going Beyond the Call Southern New England Telephone s Response to NaturalDisasters in Connecticut. The blizzard of 1888. New Haven, Connecticut.  
    http://www.lib.uconn.edu/online/research/speclib/ASC/SNETdisaster/1888.htm
    
    Extractions: The Blizzard of 1888 The Blizzard of 1888 hit the northeastern United States with a fierce intensity that etched itself into people's memories. An unrelenting fury of heavy snows, bitter cold, and high winds pounded the region from Washington, D.C., to the Canadian border in a storm that lasted for three days in mid-March. The storm took people by surprise, and many were unprepared for the resulting isolation and destruction. Snow was measured in Connecticut between twenty and fifty inches, but high winds caused snowdrifts up to twenty feet in several areas. In one twenty-four hour period, thirty-one inches of snow fell in New Haven with forty-five inches as the total by the end of the storm. Railroad service was halted, businesses had to shut down, and citizens of the state were imprisoned in their homes while the storm raged. It took days for many to dig themselves out. Over 400 people across the east coast died in the storm, and damage was estimated at $20 million. When the storms passed, SNET, just ten years old then, got to work repairing lines and restoring telephone service. While no record has survived of the impact of disruption around the state, it was estimated that in New Haven alone over 25% of telephones were out of service.

    Southern New England Telephone s worst disaster, natural or otherwise, was probablythe hurricane of its totala greater percentage than in the blizzard of 88  
    http://www.lib.uconn.edu/DoddCenter/ASC/SNET/disaster.htm
    
    Extractions: January, 1978 The New Haven Daily Palladium reported on March 14, two days after the blizzard of '88 started: New Haven has for two days been as isolated as if it were a desert island in the South Pacific-beg pardon, we mean in the Northwest Arctic, of course. No railroad trains; no telegraph; no mails; no means of communication, of travel, or of traffic. And yet that isn't quite true, either. The telephoneblessed institution!didn't wholly give out. It lost wires in a thousand directions, but in a few, its wires remained open for use, and served as our only means of communication with the outside world. That report was optimistic. Before the blizzard ended a day later, the last out-of-town wires had gone. But the ten-year-old telephone organization restored service faster than the more experienced telegraph crews, even on the Boston-New York line. No record has survived of the statewide disruption of service. But in New Haven, 28 per cent of the telephones were out of service. And even at a time when the company was struggling to survive, the blizzard taught telephone people some important lessons which were repeated in years to come. From then on there was more importance placed on sturdy construction, and more emphasis put on developing cables that could be put underground. Advance planning for emergencies became normal. Unlike natural disasters, there was plenty of time for the company to plan for both World Wars I and II. From Revolutionary days Connecticut has been known as the arsenal of the nation, and long before this country was an active participant the state's industries had stepped up productionwith an accompanying need for greater communications. During both wars there were restrictions on telephone service, shortages of materials and problems finding enough employees, particularly operators. After both wars, SNET had long lists of unfilled orders for service.

69. 1997 Blizzards
    On January 10, 1997, the President declared all 66 counties in SouthDakota a major disaster area due to winter storms and blizzards.  
    http://www.disasterrelief.org/Disasters/970123dakotas/
    
    Extractions: Following is an update on the current federal response activities in the aftermath of the winter storms and blizzards in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota All of the following information was supplied by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) A severe winter storm which started on January 3 and sent substantial snowfall and bitterly cold temperatures over the Dakotas has impacted personal health and safety, business, farming, wildlife and statewide financial resources. Ten people have reportedly died in situations related to the storms, and another 26 people have been injured. On January 12, 1997, President Clinton declared the entire state of North Dakota (all 53 counties) a major disaster area. On January 10, 1997, the President declared all 66 counties in South Dakota a major disaster area due to winter storms and blizzards. Native Americans living on reservations in both states have been affected. Agriculture Effects The North Dakota State Agriculture Department estimates that dairy farmers there had to dump as much as 500,000 pounds of milk because snow and ice was so bad, dairy processing plants could not pick up the milk. The majority of ranchers in North and South Dakota are running out of or cannot access feed for their cattle. The cold weather is also reportedly killing much of the states' cattle.

70. Drought, Tornados, Blizzards And Floods All In The 1930s
    the Weather The Great Plains region has always been known for unpredictable weatherand natural disasters – tornadoes, hail storms, blizzards, floods, drought  
    http://www.livinghistoryfarm.org/farminginthe30s/life_02.html
    
    Extractions: The Hastings Tribune reported that by July 15, 1934, central Nebraska had experienced more than 20 days with temperature over 100 degrees, including one day of 112 degrees. That year was followed by 1935 when Nebraskans experienced one of the worst dust storms ever, followed by a killer flood, then more heat. Stanley Jensen remembers when his older brother walked over to visit a neighbor about a mile and a half away. A storm blew up, and his parents got worried. The neighbors didn't have a telephone, so they couldn't call. "My dad decided to walk over there and tell him to stay there," says Stanley. "Well, that was a very hairy time because my dad took off in that terrible blizzard walking. He couldn't call my mother to tell her that he was okay. It could have been a disaster." In May 1935, the Republican River valley received several days of heavy rain. The river rose quickly to flood stage. People who had survived years of drought couldn't believe what was happening and scrambled to rooftops for safety. A wall of water, trees, and debris hit the town of Red Cloud. When it was over, more than 100 people had been killed. After the flood, the heat returned; and in the winter, the blizzards were the worst in memory.

    Extractions: Getting Around When Disaster Strikes Old Sandy Spring Where History Happened Early Families at Work and Play Time Line ... Norbeck/Oakdale Marylanders rightly regard themselves as relatively removed from nature's worst disasters: hurricanes, earthquakes, fierce electrical storms, tornadoes, and devastating droughts. Yet excepting earthquakes, each occasionally strikes, seldom catastrophically but often severely enough to refresh our gratitude for their infrequency. By far the most costly disaster is the scourge of fire, sometimes caused by lightning, sometimes by spontaneous combustion, often by human carelessness and sometimes by arson. These scenes give a sampling of Sandy Spring's brushes with the hard hand of nature and arrant man. Four times in 30 years the Patuxent River leaped its banks and flooded the valley home of Mason and Lydia Haviland on Haviland Mill Road. Here Charlotte and Phyllis Haviland wade in the lawn during a 1956 deluge. Tropical storm Agnes hit hardest, in 1972, when water swirled 19 inches above the second floor. From their refuge in the upstairs bedroom, Mason and Lydia tucked the family cat in a styrofoam picnic cooler, launched it and themselves from a bedroom window, and swam with the cooler to high ground. Tom Lansdale's Sherwood Mill burns to the ground on an April Sunday in 1966a scene watched by hundreds of churchgoers. The structure had been built by his father Richard H. Lansdale II in 1921. The cause of the fire was not determined. Fire crews from Hillandale and Kensington struggled vainly beside Sandy Spring firemen to combat the blaze. Lansdale rebuilt and continued milling into the 1980s.
