The Ease Bay Fire in the Oakland-Berkeley Hills: A Hydrologic and Water Management Assessment

这项研究将研究1991年10月大火之前奥克兰丘陵地区的水文状况，那场大火夺走了25人的生命，另有150人受伤，近4000所房屋被毁，造成约10亿美元的财产损失。前面的水文和气候条件，火灾期间可用水的管理，火灾对当地流域的影响是一些将被研究的问题。这项研究将利用一个难得的机会，其结果将通过提供更好的理解这些关系，加州和其他地方的许多城市，城市和荒地相互作用，也受到干旱的影响，可能制定更好的缓解和预防措施。

The study will examine the hydrologic conditions prevailing in the Oakland Hills before the October 1991 fire which took the life of 25 people, injured 150 others, destroyed nearly 4,000 homes and caused about $1 billion property loss. The preceding hydrologic and climatic conditions, the management of water supply available during the fire, and the impact of the fire on the local watersheds are some issues that will be examined. The research will take advantage of a rare opportunity and its results will benefit the natural hazard research community by providing a better understanding of these relationships, and many of the municipalities in California and elsewhere where urban sites and wildlands interact, and are also subjected to droughts, by the possible development of improved mitigation and preventive measures.
