The Mitigation of Tornado Effects Through Human Ecology

将对人类生态模式在减轻美国龙卷风造成的伤亡和经济损失方面的影响进行全面分析。该工作将包括：a)描述数千个事件的时间和特征；B)龙卷风事件与人口的相关性及受影响人群的若干社会特征；C)评估这些社会和物理参数对所有损失的影响；d)通过分析规范在减轻龙卷风影响方面的净效应来检验准备工作的有效性。这项工作的结果将适用于易发生龙卷风地区的减灾措施。

A comprehensive analysis will be carried out of the effects of human ecology patterns in mitigating the casualties, injuries and economic losses caused by tornadoes in the United States. The work will comprise: a) the description, in time and characteristics, of several thousand events; b) the correlation of the tornado events to population and several social characteristics of the impacted populations; c) the assessment of the effect these social and physical parameters have on all losses; and d) a test of the effectiveness of preparedness through the analysis of the net effects of codes in mitigating the impacts of tornadoes. The results of this work will be applicable to mitigation measures in areas prone to tornado occurrences.
