Post-Disaster Survey of Hurricane Iniki's Impact on Kauai

该项目将对1992年9月11日袭击考艾岛的伊妮基飓风造成的损失进行灾后调查，并将收集和分析本次活动选定方面的数据。飓风的地面气象特征；飓风期间建筑物的性能；海岸和近岸的破坏；飓风期间和飓风过后人类反应的某些方面是需要研究的课题之一。我们将把这次飓风与伊娃飓风(1982)进行比较，并将为受影响的人口的利益提出缓解未来极端风事件的建议。

The project will conduct a post-disaster survey on the damage caused by Hurricane Iniki that hit the Island of Kauai on September 11, 1992, and will collect and analyze data on selected aspects of this event. The meteorological characteristics of the hurricane at surface levels; the performance of structures during the hurricane; coastal and near shore damage; and some aspects of the human response during and after the hurricane are some of the topics to be studied. Comparisons between this hurricane and Hurricane Iwa (1982) will be drawn, and recommendations for the mitigation of future extreme wind episodes will be made for the benefit of the populations affected.
