Abstract: This paper provides a preliminary evaluation of a set of 100 residential properties along Wisconsin's Lake Michigan coast; an examination of the vulnerability of coastal homes and adequacy of shore protection in terms of the risks of flooding, erosion and storm wave damage; and some examples of properties that have withstood high water and storm waves for many years.

Title: Management of human error in operations of marine systems: decision models for evacuating offshore platforms under storm conditions.
Author: Moore William H.
Year: 91
Program#: HOE-91-2
# Pages: 27

Abstract: The impact of storm conditions on offshore operations can be potentially hazardous for work crews. Adverse weather has resulted in compounding a number of catastrophic accidents which could have been avoided if effective evacuation procedures were in place. Weather conditions can deteriorate rapidly, and timely decisions are critical to reduce the potential consequences of a platform failure. This is particularly crucial in areas with high storm intensity and low predictability (i.e. North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, South ChinaSea, etc.). Developing frameworks for modeling operational and evacuation systems for various weather conditions can assist in creating decision criteria for evacuations. This paper addresses the development of such a framework and evaluation of various decisions using probabilistic risk analysis (PRA) modeling techniques.

Title: Reestablishment of the coastal construction control line.
Author: Olsen Erik J.

Abstract: This publication briefly reviews Florida legislation relevant to the establishment of countywide coastal setback lines regulating coastal construction and excavation `for the protection of upland properties and the control of beach erosion.' A number of counties are in substantial compliance with the legislative mandate; a number of others are not, and are scheduled to receive reestablished coastal construction control lines in the near future. The pertinent criteria and procedures are noted here as a public information service for Florida citizens.

Title: Coastal construction: building in a hazardous place.
Author: Sweeny Thomas E. (editor);Rogers Frances (editor)
Citation: Report on the First Coastal Growth Industries Forum, Charleston, South Carolina, June 10-11, 1987.
Year: 87
# Pages: 14

Abstract: Most coastal construction in South Carolina is a disaster waiting to happen. The problems underlying state building practices and standards are on such a large scale that damages resulting from even a moderate storm could easily outstrip any insurance agency or pool's resources. The Coastal Growth Industries Forum focused on the importance of the synergy that must exist among all elements of the coastal construction industry if proper standards are to be effective. Four major areas of concern were covered: design/construction, construction liability, regulation/code enforcement, and insurance. Each session is summarized and recommendations are listed.
