1 Population Composition, Geographic Distribution, and Natural Hazards: Vulnerability in the Coastal Regions of Puerto Rico

Santos (DRC-UDel) Undergraduate Students Meghan Gunyuzlu (DRC-UDel) José Santiago (CISA-UPRM) Jennifer Westfall (DRC-UDel) María V. Badillo (CISA-UPRM)
3 Exposure to Natural Hazards Natural hazards in Puerto Rico: Tropical storms and hurricanes Flooding Landslides Tsunamis Earthquakes Coastal Erosion
4 Objectives: To develop a vulnerability model: V = f(h,pv,sv) that will yield a useful summary index for individual and community vulnerability that can be validated against real world data on disaster losses in Puerto Rico
5 Objectives: Construct GIS based maps integrating current coastal flooding (due to hurricanes and tsunamis) maps and 2000 Census data. This will improve our understanding of how social, economic, and demographic factors contribute to the vulnerability of the population living within these areas.
6 Objectives: Develop GIS based coastal flooding vulnerability maps integrating current flood maps, census data on population characteristics, topographic information, road maps and satellite imagery. This information & data will be made available to emergency managers, planners, and other public officials throughout the island.
7 Vulnerability: the group of characteristics of a person or group that influences their capacity to anticipate, cope with, resist, and recover from the impact of a natural hazard. (Wisner, B, T., et. al. 2004)
8 Physical Vulnerability in Puerto Rico Inadequate planning and zoning has led to a large number of persons living in areas susceptible to storm surge, tsunami, and flooding. Governmental policy has also contributed to increasing physical vulnerability by promoting high-rise construction projects along coastal areas and by allowing critical infrastructure to be located in known risk areas.
9 Physical Vulnerability in Puerto Rico Urban sprawl has resulted in increasing the number of individuals and property subject to flooding. About 1.4 million people in Puerto Rico reside in flood-prone areas Añasco, 1996 Añasco, 2000
10 Physical Vulnerability in Puerto Rico Development in hazard zones in Isabela, Puerto Rico A school built in an area susceptible to tsunamis Mayagüez, PR
11 Social Vulnerability Socio-economic and demographic characteristics also contribute to increasing disaster vulnerability Population nearly doubled between 1947 and 2000 Total Population, Puerto Rico, ,000,000 3,000,000 2,000,000 1,000,
12 Number of housing units in Puerto Rico
13 Median Age in Puerto Rico ( )
14 Population 65+ in Puerto Rico, (%)
15 Social Vulnerability 45% of families living in poverty (9.2% in the US) Income inequality Median annual income for families: $16,500 (vs. $44,000 for the United States) Labor force participation rate: 41% (64% in the US) Over 159,000 households are headed by females without husband present, 61% of them are poor.
16 Social Vulnerability 27% of the population has some type of disability (19% in the US) High proportion of uninsured or inadequately insured households 40% of population > 25 years old has not completed high school education (19% in the US) 24% of households do not have a working telephone (2.4% in the US) 28% of households have no cars available (10.3% in the US)
17 Procedure 1. Incorporate satellite imagery, census data and storm surge and tsunami flooding maps as separate layers into a GIS program. 2. Intersect census block maps and storm surge maps to create new layer consisting of census blocks within storm surge areas. 3. Compute the area of each of the resulting flood prone blocks.
18 Procedure 4. Compute the proportion of the original census block which is prone to surge flooding. 5. Use that proportion as a weight for computing estimates of persons and housing exposed to surge flooding.

27 Impacts The data and infrastructure created played an important role in the NTHMP which resulted in Mayagüez being declared a Tsunami Ready Community. The project s data infrastructure has been used to develop sampling frames for research efforts related to coastal and marine management issues. The population data developed will be used to create the sampling frame for a USACE sponsored project on hurricane evacuation behavior. One master s thesis at the University of Delaware will have resulted from the project by the end of the current academic year.
