Drought and Dams
 

 
The leaps and plunges in water levels happen because of Lake Victoria’s hydrology. “Lake Victoria is unique because the lake [itself] is a large majority of its rain basin,” Reynolds explains. For most lakes, the rain that falls over a broad region flows into the lake through rivers, streams, and ground water. But Lake Victoria does not get water from a broad land region; most of its water comes from rain that falls directly over the huge lake. For this reason, the lake is very sensitive to rainfall, its water levels jumping depending on how much rain falls in a particular year.
 
 
 

 
Low rainfall accounts for some of the drop in water levels on Lake Victoria. Drought gripped several regions in Eastern Africa and the short rainy season, from October to December, was even more dismal in the Lake Victoria region. But drought alone may not account for the drastic drop in water levels on Africa’s largest lake.
 
Lake Victoria’s rain basin (black border) is small relative to the size of the lake, leading to rapid fluctuations in lake level. (NASA image by Robert Simmon, based on the National Park Service Natural Earth map.)

FAQs • San Bruno, CA • CivicEngage
In recent years, as part of the initiation of the Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning (Risk MAP) program, FEMA is investigating entire watersheds instead of individual counties because this made the most sense scientifically. Floods do not stop at political boundaries.Although new maps may have been issued recently, much of the underlying study information in coastal areas across the U.S. has not been updated for decades. In recent years, FEMA has initiated studies along the entire populated U.S. coastline because of the significant and sometimes dangerous flood risks along the coast. Where possible, FEMA has combined these studies, but in some cases, studies have overlapped. FEMA requests your patience and support as we seek to better understand this country's coastal flood risks, and equip communities and families with appropriate information so they may protect themselves from catastrophic loss. 

10.
Are the flood hazards shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map based on historic coastal flood events?

For coastal flood hazard mapping, the existing repository of historical observational data (e.g. hurricane winds and barometric pressure, high-water marks, wave conditions, pre- and post-storm beach profiles) is relatively small, and therefore insufficient for use in predicting coastal flood elevations. As a result, when performing coastal studies, FEMA and mapping partners rely more heavily on the modeling of wave and erosion processes and storm surge (water that is pushed toward the shore by the force of winds swirling around a storm) to predict coastal flood elevations. 

11.
How accurate are coastal flood study results?

FEMA works to create the most accurate FIRMs possible. Accuracy can be impacted by the quality of the underlying data, and the assumptions and approximations that must be made when conducting a coastal study.

Catalog of Earth Satellite Orbits
By Holli Riebeek
Design by Robert Simmon
September 4, 2009

Just as different seats in a theater provide different perspectives on a performance, different Earth orbits give satellites varying perspectives, each valuable for different reasons. Some seem to hover over a single spot, providing a constant view of one face of the Earth, while others circle the planet, zipping over many different places in a day.

Flying hundreds of kilometers above the Earth, the International Space Station and other orbiting satellites provide a unique perspective on our planet. (NASA Photograph S126-E-014918.)

There are essentially three types of Earth orbits: high Earth orbit, medium Earth orbit, and low Earth orbit. Many weather and some communications satellites tend to have a high Earth orbit, farthest away from the surface. Satellites that orbit in a medium (mid) Earth orbit include navigation and specialty satellites, designed to monitor a particular region. Most scientific satellites, including NASA’s Earth Observing System fleet, have a low Earth orbit.

One way of classifying orbits is by altitude.

What We Do
All-Hazard Response

 All-Hazard Response
CAL FIRE answers thousands of non-fire emergency calls each year. 


CAL FIRE serves as a full-service, “all-risk” department, capable of responding to a wide range of emergencies, including but not limited to medical aid, hazardous material spills, swift water rescues, search and rescue missions, civil disturbances, train wrecks, floods, earthquakes, and more. No matter where or when we are needed, we answer the call. 

All Hazard Response
CAL FIRE’s all-hazard response encompasses a comprehensive approach to various emergencies beyond wildfires. This includes readiness and adaptability in handling incidents such as floods, earthquakes, and hazardous materials spills, demonstrating CAL FIRE's commitment to protecting communities across California. 

Emergency Management

CAL FIRE’s organizational culture is built upon a total force concept, in which every employee in the Department, regardless of assigned role, plays an integral part in emergency response, public safety, resource management, watershed protection, and meeting the Department’s mission and goals. We work within the well-established Incident Command System (ICS) framework and manage any disaster event through four phases: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response and Recovery.
