	CHAPTER 12 - HURRICANE HAZARDS
		Hurricanes are generated at latitudes of 8 to 15 degrees north and south of the Equator as a result of the normal release of heat and moisture on the surface of tropical oceans.
		Hurricane Gilbert began as a tropical wave on September 3, 1988, on the north coast of Africa.
		The risk posed by hurricanes to a particular country is a function of the likelihood that a hurricane of a certain intensity will strike it and of the vulnerability of the country to the impact of such a hurricane.

		Studies of hurricanes and their subsequent damage cannot be undervalued for understanding tropical ecosystem structure (Walker et al.

	FAQ: HURRICANES, TYPHOONS AND TROPICAL CYCLONES (Part 1 of 2)
		Hurricane Andrew is a good example of a very intense tropical cyclone (922 mb central pressure and 64 m/s (125 kt) sustained winds at landfall in Florida) that was also relatively small (15 m/s winds extended out only about 150 km from the center).
		A concentric eyewall cycle occurred in Hurricane Andrew (1992) before landfall near Miami: a strong intensity was reached, an outer eyewall formed, this contracted in concert with a pronounced weakening of the storm, and as the outer eyewall completely replaced the original one the hurricane reintensified.
		Thus an Atlantic hurricane that is given a CI number of 4.5 (winds of 77 kt and pressure of 979 mb) could in reality be anywhere from winds of 60 to 90 kt and pressures of 989 to 969 mb.

		These studies are coordinated with the long-term research of Dr. Doug Boucher on rain forest regeneration since Hurricane Joan, which struck the area in 1988.
		Boucher's research project focuses on applying the knowledge gained on recovery after a natural disturbance (Hurricane Joan), to designing kinds of artificial disturbances, such as logging systems, which will maintain high levels of biodiversity while allowing peasant communities to use the forest as a source of wood.
		Since the regenerating forest now has a very high density of trees and is beginning to show substantial tree mortality, it is thought that thinnings--partial cuttings of selected species--could both provide wood for local use and increase the survival and growth rates of the individuals which remain.

		Throughout the years we've responded with physical aid and emergency funding at times of natural disasters such as Hurricane Joan (1988), the seaquake tidal wave (1992), a volcanic eruption (1995) and Hurricane Mitch (1998).
		After Hurricane Mitch's devastation in November 1998, the Institute of John XXIII and Quest began Networks of Hope, a four-year process of reconstruction in 30 hard-hit northern municipalities.
		As a result of the Quest and Institute's seventeen-year friendship culminating in the intense community-building that took place during the year after the hurricane, 22 local committees have incorporated as independent, non-profit organizations.
