Fear of storms and hurricanes in Antillean and Belgian children.
The present study assessed fear of hurricanes in children who had been confronted with this natural event (i.e., Antillean children, n=161). Their fear levels were compared to those of children who are unfamiliar with such an event (i.e., Belgian children, n=185). Antillean children reported significantly higher levels of fear of storms than Belgian children did, thus providing support for the ...
متن کاملClimate Change, Hurricanes and Tropical Storms, and Rising Sea Level in Coastal Wetlands
Global climate change is expected to affect temperature and precipitation patterns, oceanic and atmospheric circulation, rate of rising sea level, and the frequency, intensity, timing, and distribution of hurricanes and tropical storms.

متن کاملExposure of US counties to Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes, 1851–2003
Exposure of counties in the continental United States to tropical storm and hurricane conditions was determined using the historic record of storm tracks for the period 1851–2003. Two approaches were used to determine exposure: (1) cumulative number of hits, with a hit occurring when the storm’s path crosses a county and (2) cumulative exposure factor, which describes how much of the county has...
