THE EFFECTS OF HURRICANE CAMILLE ON INDUSTRY, PUBLIC UTILITIES, AND PUBLIC WORKS OPERATIONS
Abstract
The report describes the results of an investigation and a site inspection of the industry along the Mississippi Gulf Coast following Hurricane Camille. The investigation covered public utilities; selected samples of the manufacturing, chemical processing, and food processing industries; and public works, including debris removal. The major topics covered during the interviews were hurricane plans and preparations, emergency actions during the hurricane, damage inflicted, and restoration activities. The results are examined from the viewpoint of their relationship to civil defense and restoration efforts following a nuclear disaster. Conclusions are drawn hat relate to both hurricane and nuclear disasters. Recommendations are made on measures to reduce the effects of such disasters and on subjects warranting further study.
