Facing two oceans and three seas, Alaska's coastline stretches through bays, fjords, and around islands for 45,000 miles. "Living with the Coast of Alaska", a new volume in the "Living with the Shore" series, is a user's guide for both present and future inhabitants of Alaska. Providing individual property owners in all regions of the state, with the fundamentals of hazard recognition and mitigation strategy, the authors discuss the geological history of Alaska and its relation to the area's cultural history and present customised hazard risk assessments for coastal communities. Describing the dynamic nature of natural seismic events and coastal processes in Alaska, the authors emphasise the multiplicity of potential effects that result from a unique combination of geology, climate, and the sea. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunami waves, avalanches, glacial advances, storm surges, flash flooding, wind channelling, and shoreline erosion (combined with human-induced hazards such as oil spills, fire, and beach and offshore mining accidents) make living with danger a way of life in Alaska. The authors provide information on federal and state laws and programs regarding natural disasters and coastal zone management as well as practical suggestions for the design and construction of buildings. For private, commercial, and public developments, this book offers a manual to help Alaskans make informed decisions to minimise, if not avoid, damage and danger.
