warning can be the difference between life and death Because of this scientists and government officials are working to use the latest technological advances to predict when and where disasters will happen They are also studying how best to analyze and communicate this information once it is obtained The goal is to put technology to effective use in saving lives and property when nature unleashes its power with devastating results On September 29 1998 Hurricane Georges made landfall in Biloxi Mississippi after devastating Haiti the Dominican Republic Puerto Rico and several islands of the Caribbean with torrential rains and winds up to 160 km h 100 mph Few people lost their lives along the Gulf Coast of the United States although hundreds died in the Caribbean This was a very different outcome from 1900 when a powerful Gulf Coast hurricane made an unexpected direct hit on Galveston Texas killing at least 6 000 people Vastly improved hurricane warnings explain the different circumstances at either end of the 20th century residents of Galveston had no advance warning that a storm was approaching while residents of Biloxi had been warned days in advance of Georges s approach allowing for extensive safety precautions At the same time that people in Biloxi were thankful for the advance warning some residents of New Orleans Louisiana 120 km to the west were less satisfied A day before Georges made landfall forecasters were predicting that the hurricane had a good chance of striking New Orleans Because much of New Orleans lies below sea level the city is at risk for flooding In addition because New Orleans has a large population in vulnerable locations emergency management officials must begin evacuations well before a storm strikes But evacuation costs money Businesses close tourists leave and citizens take precautionary measures The mayor of New Orleans estimated that his city s preparations for Georges cost more than 50 million After the full fury of Georges missed New Orleans some residents questioned the value of the hurricane forecasts in the face of such high costs The differing views on the early warnings for Hurricane Georges illustrate some of the complexities involved in predicting disasters Disaster prediction is more than just forecasting the future with advanced technology it is also a process of providing scientific information to the government officials and other decision makers who must respond to those predictions In general the process has three phases First there is the challenge of forecasting the event itself In the case of Georges scientists worked to predict the future direction and strength of the hurricane days in advance A second important challenge is communicating the forecast to decision makers Because forecasts are always uncertain a central factor in disaster predictions is communicating this uncertainty Uncertainty is usually described in terms of odds or probabilities much like daily weather forecasts The media plays an important role in communicating predictions and their uncertainty to the public The third part of the process is the use of predictive information by decision makers Even the most accurate information is of little value if the decision maker does not use it appropriately for example in deciding whether to order an evacuation If there is a breakdown in any of these three phases of prediction the result is increased danger and a higher risk of loss of life 1 The underlined word calamity refers to 用心 爱心 专心4 A natureB thunderstormsC disasterD dangers 2 According

residents of New Orleans were unsatisfied because A they underwent a heavy hurricane attack B the forecast hurricane did not hit the city C the hurricane warning arrived rather late D its precautionary measures were wasted 5 Which of the following phases does not belong to the disaster predication process A Accurate predictions of forthcoming disasters B Communication of forecasts and uncertainty C Evacuation from the disaster stricken areas D Decision maker s timely response to warnings The key 单词认识 1 floods 2 lightning 3 buried 4 occurred 5 disasters 易混词语 1 辨析 三者都可表示 发生 之意
