Updates of earlier interest in the impacts of storms and sea-flooding in
Chiswell, Dorset (near Weymouth) are described in a field report
appearing in the current issue of Disaster Prevention and Management
22/4 (www.emeraldinsight.com/0965-3562.htm).
The effects of two major damaging storms within three months of 1979
were described in "Vulnerability to a natural hazard: Geomorphic,
technological and social change at Chiswell, Dorset" Natural Hazards
Research Working Papers 37 (1979) University of Colorado - which is
referenced and internet accessible.
The update comments upon recent developments and on some characteristics
of community resilience and its recognition, or not, over time.
Comments would be welcomed.
With regards -
James
