STORM SURGE

A storm surge is a coastal flood or tsunami-like phenomenon of rising water commonly

associated with low pressure weather systems (such as tropical cyclones and strong extratropical
cyclones), the severity of which is affected by the shallowness and orientation of the water body
relative to storm path, and the timing ...
Storm surge is an abnormal rise of water generated by a storm, over and above the predicted
astronomical tides. Storm surge should not be confused with storm tide, which is defined as the
water level rise due to the combination of storm surge and the astronomical tide. This rise in
water level can cause extreme flooding in coastal areas particularly when storm surge coincides
with normal high tide, resulting in storm tides reaching up to 20 feet or more in some cases.

CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change, also called global warming, refers to the rise in average surface
temperatures on Earth. An overwhelming scientific consensus maintains that
climate change is due primarily to the human use of fossil fuels, which releases
carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air.

GREENHOUSE EFFECT
The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the
planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmosphere. If a planet's
atmosphere contains radiatively active gases (i.e., greenhouse gases) the atmosphere will radiate
energy in all directions.

ZIKA VIRUS
Zika virus /zik, zk/ (ZIKV) is a member of the virus family Flaviviridae and the genus
Flavivirus, transmitted by daytime-active Aedes mosquitoes, such as A. aegypti and A.
albopictus.

Zika virus infection

Zika virus is a member of the Flaviviridae family and is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. It
is related to other pathogenic vector borne flaviviruses including dengue, West-Nile and Japanese
encephalitis viruses but produces a comparatively mild disease in humans. Since 2007 Zika virus
has caused several outbreaks in the Pacific, and since 2015 it further spread in the Americas.
These were the first documented transmissions outside of its traditional endemic areas in Africa
and Asia. Zika virus is considered an emerging infectious disease with the potential to spread to
new areas where the Aedes mosquito vector is present. There is no evidence of transmission Zika
virus in Europe to date.
Zika virus disease usually have symptoms that can include mild fever, skin rashes, conjunctivitis,
muscle and joint pain, malaise or headache
