Abstract:

AbstractIntroduction:Many geographical areas are subject to devastating disasters that leave the citizens not only without homes, but also without their local medical systems. Now medical-aid stations consisting of personnel, supplies, and equipment quickly can be deployed when needed to such areas under the aegis of the National Disaster Medical System (NDMS). Such teams can provide emergent medical care as well as daily medical care. However, these aid stations are of no help for the home–bound or nursing home patients too infirm to reach them. Thus, these citizens only can obtain medical care if medical teams make planned outreach excursions to reach them.Objective:To describe a planned outreach program that was implemented for such patients on St. Thomas Island after it was devastated by Hurricane Marilyn in 1995.Results:Over a five-day period, the out-reach team provided medical care for 67 patients ranging in age from 11 days to 90 years. Play and art therapy was provided for non-injured children. The most common needs in the elderly were anti-hypertensive medications and insulin-loaded syringes.Conclusion:For outreach efforts of this nature, membership of the team should include a registered nurse, a paramedic, a respiratory therapist, a public health specialist, and a local authority familiar both with the area and its inhabitants. A physician does not need to be assigned to the team, but should be available by radio.

Abstract:

AbstractIntroduction:The past decade has been a period of evolution for the Federal disaster response system within the United States. Two domestic hurricanes were pivotal events that influenced the methods used for organizing Federal disaster assistance. The lessons of Hurricane Hugo (1989) and Hurricane Andrew (1992) were incorporated into the successful response to Hurricane Marilyn in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 1995. Following each of these storms, the Department of Defense was a major component of the response by the health sector. Despite progress in many areas, lack of clear communication between military and civilian managers and confusion among those requesting Department of Defense health resources may remain as obstacles to rapid response.Methods:This discussion is based on an unpublished case report utilizing interviews with military and civilian managers involved in the Hurricane Marilyn response.Results:The findings suggest that out-of-channel pathways normally utilized in the warning and emergency phase of the response remained operational after more formal civilian-military communication pathways and local assessment capability had been established.Conclusion:It is concluded that delays may be avoided if the system in place was to make all active pathways for the request and validation of military resources visible to the designated Federal managers located within the area of operations.

Abstract:

Abstract. As far back as history has been written in the islands today known as the US Virgin Islands (USVI), residents have had to endure and survive costly and deadly onslaughts from tropical storms such as the 1867 San Narciso Hurricane, Hurricane Hugo and Hurricane Marilyn. Keenly alerted by recent tragic events in the Indian Ocean in 2004, in Haiti in 2010 and in Japan in 2011, the USVI was reminded that it had suffered its greatest tsunami impact in a well-documented event that had followed the 1867 hurricane by fewer than three weeks. To address their community's continual vulnerability to coastal hazards, USVI emergency managers, scientists and educators, assisted by national and regional disaster management agencies and warning programs, have engaged programs for understanding, anticipating and mitigating these hazards. This paper focuses on how three public-serving institutions, the Virgin Islands Territorial Emergency Management Agency (VITEMA), the University of the Virgin Islands and the Caribbean Ocean Observing System have responded to the community's need for improved preparedness through programs of physical preparation, planning, research, observations, education and outreach. This report reviews some of the approaches and activities employed in the USVI in the hope of sharing their benefits with similarly vulnerable coastal communities.

Abstract:

The pygmy killer whale (Feresa attenuata) is an offshore, tropical and subtropical delphinid found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. The species has only recently been studied, mostly from specimens collected from strandings. While over 52 reports exist for the Atlantic Ocean, only one record exists for the Caribbean Sea. A new record of a mass stranding of pygmy killer whales from the British Virgin Islands is documented and the pathology and life history of the specimens is described, associating the stranding process with the meteorological and oceanographic disturbance of Hurricane Marilyn, which devastated the Virgin Islands a day prior to the stranding. This stranding event constitutes the sixth known mass stranding for the species worldwide, the first record for pygmy killer whales for the northeastern Caribbean and the second for the entire Caribbean Sea.

Abstract:

Many measurements of hurricane waves have been made from deep water production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico. Measurements made on different sides of the platforms differ from one another and the incident wave field because the platforms diffract and radiate waves. For many purposes, we would like to know the incident wave field. Forristall and Aubault (OMAE2013-10860) used WAMIT diffraction calculations to successfully invert wave spectra measured under a TLP model in the Marin offshore basin. We have now used similar techniques to invert spectra measured at offshore platforms during Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. We do not have any measurements of the undisturbed wave spectra for testing the results. The tests were made by checking whether inverse calculations on all the gauges deployed at different locations on the platforms could produce the same undisturbed wave field. Wave directions are needed for the diffraction calculations. Information from the wave gauges can be used to find the directions by optimizing the agreement among the inverted power spectra. To perform the optimization, we varied both the mean direction and spreading at each spectral frequency. The rms difference between the inverted probe spectral densities was minimized at each spectral frequency. When spectra from four gauges on a platform are inverted, they agree reasonably well with each other. The average of the inverted significant wave heights is slightly lower than the average of the measured significant wave heights. But when spectra from pairs of the four probes are inverted, the results differ depending on which pair is used. This result implies that our inversion method cannot be used on data from platforms with two probes, and casts doubt on the accuracy of four probe inversions.

Abstract:

The exciting force induced by vortex shedding on the hull of bluff body floaters, such as Spars, may cause response near the resonant period of any of the 6 rigid body modes of response of the floater [1]. Usually the sway vortex induced motion (VIM) is of particular concern for mooring and riser integrity. Most efforts to study this phenomenon to-date have focused on uniform current loading over the depth of the platform, such as one would find in the eddy/loop currents in the Gulf of Mexico. Under these conditions, tow tests with the model mounted horizontally or vertically and restrained with a spring system have been sufficient to characterize the VIM behavior [2, 3]. VIM responses of a Classic Spar measured in the field after the passage of a hurricane in what is referred to as the “hurricane inertial current” event has raised the awareness of the possibility of platform VIM response in sheared currents and in the presence of waves. In order to evaluate this condition, model scale Truss Spar VIM tests were conducted at the MARIN Offshore Basin in the summer of 2004. Uniform current, “shear” or two-layer current, and wave plus current conditions were simulated and compared with benchmark uniform current tow test results. The tests were done in current alone, in waves alone, and with waves in-line with the current, and, waves transverse and oblique to the current. Comparisons are made of VIM response in uniform and shear current conditions, and, response with and without waves. One of the key findings is that with waves in-line with the current, VIM is generally reduced; however, at some headings the response in waves plus current in transverse waves is larger than in current alone.

Abstract:

For the design of ships and offshore structures the largest crest height which can be expected in their lifetime is of key importance. This was confirmed by several incidences e.g. in hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico during the recent years. This is why MARIN started up the CresT JIP with a number of partners. The CresT JIP is now completed and some results of the extreme wave load and response mechanisms observed during model tests with a TLP will be presented in this paper. First an overview is given of the loading and response process during the most extreme event observed. As a next step the loading and response is related to the time and spatial characteristics of the waves, as it is not per definition the highest local crest or wave height that results in the most extreme dynamic response. Furthermore, the effect of different TLP design variations and short-crestedness will be discussed.

Abstract:

In recent years, spars have become a preferred industry solution for certain offshore deepwater developments. Perdido is the first spar platform to be operated by Shell. The Perdido spar has been recently installed in the ultradeepwater Gulf of Mexico Alaminos Canyon and is scheduled for first oil in 2010. This Direct Vertical Access (DVA) spar will operate at a water depth of 7,825′ and will be the deepest spar production and drilling facility in the world. Numerical predictions of the spar global motions in waves, wind and current are presented in this paper. Motivation for this study comes from two facts: 1. Each spar platform design is unique in terms of its size, number and geometry of heave plates, riser system and mooring system. 2. Metocean design criteria have been increased in view of the recent hurricanes. Model tests of the Perdido spar were conducted at MARIN at a scale of 1:59.94. In these experiments, several Gulf of Mexico (GOM) wave, current and wind environments were considered. The six-degree-of-freedom motions, deck accelerations, air gap, as well as the loads on the heave plates, mooring lines and risers were measured. In this paper, global motion predictions of the Perdido spar are given using Shell’s in-house COSMOS/ WAMIT suite of programs. Extensive comparisons between the numerical predictions and the experimental results were undertaken. In all cases, the comparisons are very good. In order to include heave viscous loads and damping, special line members were included at the bottom of the hard tank, the bottom of the soft tank and each heave plate, in addition to standard line members used to describe the truss. These special members contribute heave viscous loads with drag coefficients selected from the Perdido experiments. Several heave plate configurations were considered to systematically study the impact of heave plates on the spar global motions. The influence of the heave plate geometry on the heave added mass and on the global motions was derived using WAMIT. The strakes’ actual geometry was also included in the WAMIT diffraction analysis. Most of the moonpool area at the bottom of the Perdido hard tank is closed. As a result, the pumping mode was not excited during the experiments. However, numerical simulations with WAMIT showed a sharp peak at the “pumping mode” resonant frequency. This peak was suppressed by introducing a second floating body that capped the moonpool at the water surface. Based on these learnings, recommendations for global motion modeling are presented in this paper.
