This study compared news coverage of national and international disasters, Hurricane Katrina and the Haiti Earthquake, using textual analysis of The New York Times and The Washington Post. The results reveal that media framing of the historical cases developed in three stages upon the development of post-disaster relief: (1) Call for humanitarian assistance; (2) New Orleans under anarchy and hopelessness vs. Haiti under scrutiny with hope; and (3) Katrina effects. By framing the outcomes of the hurricane as the "Katrina effect," the media used the disaster as a reference point to explain other economic and political issues. In addition, analysis of relevant statements and press releases confirmed that different social actors involved in the relief process, such as donors, facilitators, and beneficiaries, contributed to the media framing of the issue, although the facilitators were most successful in transferring their own frames to media frames. This study makes important contributions to the field as it looks beyond traditional relationships between quantitative measures of media attention and aid allocation. For governmental and nongovernmental organizations in the area of humanitarian assistance, the findings of this study will assist them in media-relations in the future.

최근, 전 세계적으로 지구 온난화가 가속화됨에 따라 해수면의 온도가 상승함과 동시에 태풍의 강도도 커지고 있는 실정이다. 우리나라의 경우에도 태풍을 연구하는 많은 학자들이 머지않은 미래에 슈퍼태풍이 내습할 것으로 예측하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 태풍 Maemi의 시동경로에 미국을 강타한 허리케인 Katrina(미국 뉴올리언스, 2005)와 태풍 Durian(필리핀, 2006) 및 태풍 Vera(일본 이세만, 1959)의 태풍특성(중심기압, 최대풍속반경,이동속도 등)을 조합하여 수치시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 부산 경남 연안역 대부분의 지점에서 Maemi의 경로에 Durian과 Vera를 진행시킨 경우, Maemi내습 시보다 약 $1.5{\sim}2.0$배 높은 폭풍해일고를, Katrina의 경우, 약 4.0배 이상의 높은 폭풍해일고를 나타내었다. 이상과 같은 최대폭풍해일고의 수치로서 슈퍼태풍의 위험성을 충분히 인지하여 최적의 방재시스템을 구축하는 것이 폭풍해일의 재해예방 및 최소화를 위하여 조속히 해결하여야 할 과제이다.

전 세계적인 지구온난화로 인해 태풍의 강도와 규모가 커지고 있고 이로 인한 사회경제적인 피해가 갈수록 증가하고 있는 상황에서 사전에 침수예상지역 및 예상피해규모를 파악하고, 대비하는 일은 아주 중요하다. 이 논문에서는 2003년 부산과 경남지역 연안을 강타한 태풍 Maemi(매미)의 이동경로에 태풍 매미를 비롯하여 Vera(베라)(일본 이세만, 1959), Durian(두리안)(필리핀, 2006) 그리고 2005년 미국을 강타한 허리케인 Katrina(카트리나)의 특성을 갖는 슈퍼태풍의 내습을 가정하여 해운대 해수욕장 인근 도심지역의 침수피해규모를 추정하였다. 태풍별 해수면 상승고는 기존 연구자들의 수치모델링 결과를 토대로 육상표고와 해저수심의 서로 다른 기준면을 통일시킨 후 계산하였고, 항공 LiDAR 자료를 기반으로 GIS 공간분석기술을 이용하여 침수고, 침수면적 및 건물피해액을 추정하였다. 태풍의 강도와 규모가 점점 커지고 있고, 우리나라에도 근년에 Katrina(카트리나)급의 슈퍼태풍이 내습할 가능성이 클 것으로 예상되는 상황에서, 이 연구결과는 연안 도심지역에 대한 해안침수예상도와 범람피난지도를 제작하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A coastal flood area was predicted using the empirical superposition of the typhoon surge level and typhoon wave height along the Busan coastal area. The historical typhoon damages were reviewed, and the coastal topography was measured using VRS-GPS. A FEMA formula was applied to estimate the coastal flood area in a typhoon case when the measured and predicted data of typhoon waves are not available. The results in the area of Haeundae beach and Gwangalli beach were verified using the flood area data from the case of Typhoon Maemi (2003). If a Hurricane Katrina class typhoon were to pass through the Maemi trajectory, the areathat would be flooded along theBusan coastal area was predicted and compared with the results of the Maemi case. Because of the lack of ocean environment data such as data for the sea level, waves, bathymetry, wind, pressure, etc., it is hard to improve the prediction accuracy for the coastal flood area in the typhoon case, which could be reflected in the policy to mitigate a typhoon's impact. This paper discusses the kinds of ocean environment information that is needed to predict a typhoon's impact with better accuracy.

Hurricane Katrina swept New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, in 2005, causing more than 1,000 fatalities and severe damage to the flood protection system. Recovery activities are complete, however, clarifying failure mechanisms and devising resilient and cost-effective retrofitting techniques for the flood protection system are still of utmost importance to enhance the general structural integrity of water retaining structures. This study presents extensive centrifuge test results to find various failure mechanisms and effective retrofitting techniques for a levee system. The result confirmed the rotational failure and translational failure mechanisms for the London Ave. Canal levee and 17^th St. Canal levee, respectively. In addition, it found that the floodwalls with fresh waterstop in their joints perform better than those with old/weathered waterstop by decreasing pore water pressure build-up in the levee. Structural caps placed on the top of the joints between I-walls could also prevent local failure by spreading the load to surrounding walls. At the same time, the self-sealing bentonite-sand mixture installed along the riverside of floodwalls could mitigate the failure of floodwalls by blocking the infiltration of seepage water into the gap formed between levee soils and floodwalls.

The world is currently undergoing an intense urbanization process. The percentage of urban dwellers has never been so high. In 2010, and for the first time, urban population surpassed the rural one, accounting for 51% of global population, and this trend will continue in the forthcoming years. This increment in concentration of population and supporting assets in cities, make their performance a critical issue for world population. Recent events such as Fukushima tsunami and the hurricane Katrina have shown how fragile built environments are and the unpredictability of occurrence and magnitude of the hazards. Such an expansion of the world's urban population, together with an increase in severity and number of hazards and catastrophes, has put under the spotlight the necessity to build cities not only sustainable, but resilient. Decision makers should acknowledge failure as an option, and the importance of developing city resilience. This paper will provide an initial review on urban resilience, definitions and assessment approaches as a first step for decision makers to account for resilience in their decision making process.

New Orleans located in the estuary of the Mississippi River was attacked by Hurricane Katrina and suffered big flood on August 2005. Since unconsolidated Holocene to middle Miocene strata is the main basement rocks, land subsidence has been occurred steadily due to soil compaction and normal faulting. It was reported that the maximum subsidence rate from 2002 to 2005 was -29 mm/yr. Many studies in the area have been carried out for understanding the subsiding and potential risks caused by ground subsidence are weighted by the fact that a large area of the city is located below the mean sea level. A small baseline subset (SBAS) method is applied for effectively measuring time-series LOS (Line-of sight) surface deformation from differential synthetic aperture radar interferograms in this study. The time-series surface deformation at New Orleans was measured from RADARSAT-1 SAR images. The used dataset consists of twenty-one RADARSAT-1 fine beam mode images on descending orbits from February 2005 to February 2007 and another twenty-one RADARSAT-1 standard beam mode images on ascending orbits from January 2005 to February 2007. From this dataset, 25 and 38 differential interferograms on descending and ascending orbits were constructed, respectively. The vertical and horizontal components of surface deformation were extracted from ascending and descending LOS surface deformations. The result from vertical component of surface deformation indicates that subsidence is not significant with a mean rate of -3.1${\pm}$3.2 mm/yr.

Among public organizations, does variation in organizational structure explain variation in public managers' leadership styles (e.g., transformational and transactional leadership)? The study of leadership in public organizations is increasingly an area of scholarly interest partly sparked by movements to reform public organizations, particularly in the context of emergency management. There is, for example, a need for effective leadership that can help organizations respond to disasters (Kapucu et al. 2010; Van Wart and Kapucu 2011; Stern 2013). There are numerous documented cases where the lack of leadership skills has been linked to major social and economic losses as a result of poor disaster response (e.g., Hurricane Katrina in the U.S.). Yet, leadership is a complex concept and numerous theoretical frameworks have been developed to help explain it (Van Wart 2005). Practically speaking, the existence of different theories of leadership suggests that public managers can decide to exercise various styles of leadership. The style of leadership that a public manager exhibits matters because some styles are perceived to be more effective than others (Trottier et al. 2008). While the effects of leadership have been extensively studied, antecedents or predictors of leadership style have received little scholarly attention (Wright and Pandey 2009; Nielsen and Cleal 2011). The purpose of this research note then is to explore the potential causal relationship between the structure of an organization and the ability of a public manager to exercise transformational leadership in the context of emergency management in two Asian countries: South Korea and Japan. This research note consists of three main sections. The following section explores the relationship between leadership and organizational structure. The second section examines how certain concepts of leadership and organizational structure were applied in two case studies of disaster response. The final section presents some directions for future research.
