The storm caused more than $2 billion in damage.   VO-1980-000002-USA Volcano United States The May 18, 1980, eruption was the most destructive in the history of the United States. Novarupta (Katmai) Volcano, Alaska, erupted considerably more material in 1912, but owing to the isolation and sparse population of the region affected, there were no human deaths and little property damage. In contrast, Mount St. Helens' eruption in a matter of hours caused loss of lives and widespread destruction of valuable property, primarily by the debris avalanche, the lateral blast, and the mudflows. Landscape changes caused by the May 18 eruption were readily seen on high-altitude photographs. Such images, however, cannot reveal the impacts of the devastation on people and their works. The May 18 eruption resulted in scores of injuries and the loss of 57 lives. Within the United States before May 18, 1980, only two known casualties had been attributed to volcanic activity - a photographer was struck by falling rocks during the explosive eruption of Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii, in 1924; and an Army sergeant who disappeared during the 1944 eruption of Cleveland Volcano, Chuginadak Island, Aleutians. Autopsies indicated that most of Mount St. Helens' victims died by asphyxiation from inhaling hot volcanic ash, and some by thermal and other injuries. Accurate cost figures remain difficult to determine. Early estimates were too high and ranged from $2 to $3 billion, primarily reflecting the timber, civil works, and agricultural losses. A refined estimate of $1.1 billion was determined in a study by the International Trade Commission at the request of Congress. A supplemental appropriation of $951 million for disaster relief was voted by Congress, of which the largest share went to the Small Business Administration, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.  DR-1980-000001-USA Drought United States Central and eastern U.S.; estimated $20.0 (48.4) billion damage/costs to agriculture and related industries; estimated 10,000 deaths (includes heat stress-related).  HT-1980-000001-USA Heat Wave United States Central and eastern U.S.; estimated $20.0 (48.4) billion damage/costs to agriculture and related industries; estimated 10,000 deaths (includes heat stress-related).  TC-1979-000001-USA Tropical Cyclone United States NOAA reports $2.3 billion in losses.   EQ-1976-000001-MMR Earthquake Myanmar M=6.8,several pagodas in Bagan Ancient City were severely damaged.  TC-1975-000001-MMR Tropical Cyclone Myanmar 303 dead,10191 cattle lost,246700 homes destroyed, estimated loss 446.5 million kyat.  CE-1972-000003-PHL Complex Emergency Philippines In 2003, Manila opened peace negotiations with the MILF in the hope of ending the group's 32-year war for an independent Muslim state on Mindanao. Large-scale fighting broke out in late 2008. The conflict is ongoing.   TC-1972-000002-USA Tropical Cyclone United States NOAA reports $2.1 billion in losses. Agnes caused 122 deaths in the United States. Nine of these were in Florida (mainly from severe thunderstorms) while the remainder were associated with the flooding.   FL-1972-000001-USA Flood United States NOAA reports $165 million in damages and 238 deaths.   EQ-1971-000001-USA Earthquake United States This destructive earthquake occurred in a sparsely populated area of the San Gabriel Mountains, near San Fernando. It lasted about 60 seconds, and, in that brief span of time, took 65 lives, injured more than 2,000, and caused property damage estimated at $505 million.  TC-1970-000001-PHL Tropical Cyclone Philippines   TC-1969-000001-USA Tropical Cyclone United States This powerful, deadly, and destructive hurricane formed just west of the Cayman Islands on August 14. It rapidly intensified and by the time it reached western Cuba the next day it was a Category 3 hurricane. Camille tracked north-northwestward across the Gulf of Mexico and became a Category 5 hurricane on August 16. The hurricane maintained this intensity until it made landfall along the Mississippi coast late on the 17th. Camille weakened to a tropical depression as it crossed Mississippi into western Tennessee and Kentucky, then it turned eastward across West Virginia and Virginia. The cyclone moved into the Atlantic on August 20 and regained tropical storm strength before becoming extratropical on the 22nd. A minimum pressure of 26.84 inches was reported in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, which makes Camille the second most intense hurricane of record to hit the United States. The actual maximum sustained winds will never be known, as the hurricane destroyed all the wind-recording instruments in the landfall area. The estimates at the coast are near 200 mph. Columbia, Mississippi, located 75 miles inland, reported 120 mph sustained winds. A storm tide of 24.6 ft occurred at Pass Christian, Mississippi. The heaviest rains along the Gulf Coast were about 10 inches. However, as Camille passed over the Virginias, it produced a burst of 12 to 20 inch rains with local totals of up to 31 inches. Most of this rain occurred in 3 to 5 hours and caused catastrophic flash flooding. The combination of winds, surges, and rainfalls caused 256 deaths (143 on the Gulf Coast and 113 in the Virginia floods) and $1.421 billion in damage.  TC-1968-000001-MMR Tropical Cyclone Myanmar 1037dead,17537cattle lost,57663 houses destroyed, estimated damage 10.0million kyat.  ST-1967-000002-USA SEVERE LOCAL STORM United States Record-setting snow fall struck Chicago and much of northeast Illinois and northwest Indiana with continuous snow and wind from the early morning hours on Thursday the 26th of January into the morning of the 27th.   ST-1967-000001-USA SEVERE LOCAL STORM United States Record-setting snow fall struck Chicago and much of northeast Illinois and northwest Indiana with continuous snow and wind from the early morning hours on Thursday the 26th of January into the morning of the 27th.   TC-1965-000001-USA Tropical Cyclone United States NOAA reports $1.4205 billion in losses killing 75 people.   EQ-1956-000001-MMR Earthquake Myanmar The Sagaing earthquake caused large damage to ancient structures.  EQ-1930-000002-MMR Earthquake Myanmar M=7.3RS,railroad tracks twist(Pyu Earthquake);about 30 persons killed.  EQ-1930-000001-MMR Earthquake Myanmar Collapsed houses and other buildings in Yangon and Bago Divisions.It killed approximately 500 people in Bago and 50 in Yangon.  7220 hits 289 Pages: 281 282 283 284 285 286 287 288 289	GLIDEnumber: About Glide How to Join Participating Institutions GLIDE-enabled sites Help Topics Disclaimer Get results as: Statistics Charts Tabular Reports Latest Events: Disasters on or after week 3 From: 2021/1/10  To: 2021/1/19 FL-2021-000005-IDN Flood,Indonesia: Through its disaster monitoring portal, InaRisk, Indonesia’ Disaster Monitoring Agency has listed 13 districts (Balangan, Banjar, Barito Kuala, Hulu Sungai Selatan, Hulu Sungai Tengah, Hulu Sungai Utara, Kota Banjarbaru, Kota Banjarmasin, Kotabaru, Tabalong, Tanah Bumbu, Tanah Laut, and Tapin) in South Kalimantan as moderate-risk and high-risk flood areas. Moreover, Indonesia’s Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency has also issued flood warnings for the above-mentioned districts. PMI is closely monitoring the situation and coordinating the response with relevant government agencies. At the district level, PMI volunteers in branches in the affected areas, have been deployed to the sites since the early stage of the disaster. FL-2021-000004-IDN Flood,Indonesia: Flooding and Landslides Across Indonesia, January 2021. Indonesia’s Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency predicts the peak of La Nina to occur in December 2020 and January 2021. The peak of La Nina coincides with the peak of rainy season which usually occurs between January and February. The agency also states that this phenomenon could increase precipitation which triggers heavy rainfall across the country. During this period, Indonesia frequently suffers flood and landslides. As of January 14, 2021, several provinces in the country had reported floods and landslides since the beginning of the year. • Lhokseumawe (Aceh), 4 January 2021 • Langsa (Aceh), 4 January 2021 • Malang (East Java), 10 January 2021 • Sembakung (N.
