Naming the ARkStorm. A California storm is known by the year in which the storm occurred. To equate the storm in a person's mind requires some visceral knowledge of the event, or some understanding of history, meteorology, hydrology, engineering, or other relevant technical discipline. Even with that knowledge, the naming convention does not communicate the magnitude of the event. Therefore, the ARkStorm scenario was named so as to be independent of time, to acknowledge the meteorological phenomena behind most large storms on the U.S. West Coast, namely Atmospheric Rivers (ARs), and to provide some future scale to compare past and future events. The hypothetical scenario would be an Atmospheric River, AR with a value of 1,000 (k), or an ARkStorm. The Multihazards Demonstration Project. The ARkStorm Scenario is the second major project of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Multi-Hazards Demonstration Project (MHDP).

The ARkStorm (for Atmospheric River 1000 Storm) has brought a devastating flood of biblical proportions to California forcing millions of people to evacuate. For the preppers attending PrepperStock this year the troubles brought about by the this disaster have just begun as the economy begins a slow collapse and acts of terrorism threaten America`s survival. Refugee camps are filling up with millions of evacuees who remained at shelters and were not lucky enough to bunk in with friends or relatives and try and start over again. The end of a functioning U.S. economy is compounded by mysterious grid failures nationwide. The ARkStorm series is patterned after the 1861–62 historical events that flooded the central valley of California. The scientifically realistic "superstorm" scenario developed and published by the United States Geological Survey has been adapted as a story line that includes the author's modern day applications of emergency management principles with a prepper community slant. Keep your feet and your powder dry folks!!

California faces threats from earthquakes, droughts, and wildfires. Yet, there is another cataclysm, enormous rivers of rain whose fury have wreaked havoc and ruin in the past. Scientists' fears have been realized. It's coming. ARkStorm - The Other Big One. You can't turn the pages fast enough in this standalone disaster thriller from international bestselling author, Bobby Akart, one of America's favorite storytellers, who delivers up-all-night thrillers to readers in 245 countries and territories worldwide. "Mixing science and suspense is something Bobby Akart is a master of while writing character driven stories that will have you on the edge of your seat." California experiences atmospheric river storms every year, but the state hasn't experienced a catastrophe like this since the Great Storm of 1862 when intense rainstorms pounded the state unabated with little respite. Rivers became raging torrents that swept away entire communities, killing thousands. The state's Central Valley turned into a massive body of water 300-miles long and 60-miles wide. It's happened before. It's happening again. "Bobby Akart is a genius at creating disaster scenarios." Sammy Hendrick is preparing for a week of having her young nieces visit while her husband Tyler is immersed in preparations for the upcoming Rose Bowl when the rains begin. Los Angeles County Deputy Fire Chief, Finn O'Brien, has seen the beautiful mountainous landscape of his neighborhood recently devastated by wildfire. He's concerned the mountains can't hold the rain and everything below it will be buried alive. As this torpedo of moisture reaches the coast, it crashes into the mountains and is thrust upward. It kicks off torrents of rain and blinding blizzards. Levees and dams are breached. Mudslides and avalanches are triggered. Landscape and lives will be scarred forever. This is the Other Big One. "Akart has proven, once again, why he's a fan favorite!" This modern-day, fact-based novel will have you whispering just one more chapter until the end.

Arkstorms are the most deadliest of all tropical storms. Yet they only occur once every 500 to 800 years, and are defined by scientists as, -A river of atmospheric condensation- and spread out hundreds of miles wide in the direction of the massive vortex in the center. What makes them so devastating is the vortex reaches up so high, they actually penetrate the outer atmosphere, and expose the earth to the vacuum of space. Then physics takes over, and the vacuum of space pulls everything that has matter toward the vacuum, and everything not bolted to the surface of the earth gets pulled up through it while the outer spreading walls destroy traveling at 300 to 400 MPH then the debris left behind it flies off the earth along with everything not nailed to the ground at 65,000 MPH. Entire cities, towns and any life are completely gone, with only sand remaining. That is unless you have what only one brave person has, yet chases him throughout this story as he strives to escape the outer destructive walls reaching down from the skies to take the only thing he has left. His life, and one machine.

This book is the standard reference based on roughly 20 years of research on atmospheric rivers, emphasizing progress made on key research and applications questions and remaining knowledge gaps. The book presents the history of atmospheric-rivers research, the current state of scientific knowledge, tools, and policy-relevant (science-informed) problems that lend themselves to real-world application of the research—and how the topic fits into larger national and global contexts. This book is written by a global team of authors who have conducted and published the majority of critical research on atmospheric rivers over the past years. The book is intended to benefit practitioners in the fields of meteorology, hydrology and related disciplines, including students as well as senior researchers.

The Ark Storm is coming—a catastrophic weather event that will unleash massive floods and wreak more damage on California than the feared "Big One." One man wants to profit from it. Another wants to harness it to wage jihad on American soil. One woman stands in their way: Dr. Gwen Boudain, a brave and brilliant meteorologist. When Boudain notices that her climate readings are off the charts, she turns to Gabriel Messenger for research funding. Messenger's company is working on a program that ionizes water molecules to bring rain on command. Meanwhile, Wall Street suits notice that someone is placing six-month bets on the prospect of an utter apocalypse and begin to investigate. Standing in the shadows is journalist Dan Jacobsen, a former Navy SEAL. War hardened, cynical, and handsome, Jacobsen is a man with his own hidden agenda. Linda Davies's Ark Storm brings together the worlds of finance, scientific innovation, and terrorism in a fast-paced thrill ride that will leave readers gasping.

Food products have always been designed, but usually not consciously. Even when design has been part of the process, it has often been restricted to considerations of packaging, logos, fonts and colors. But now design is impacting more dramatically on the complex web that makes up our food supply, and beginning to make it better. Ways of thinking about design have broad applications and are becoming central to how companies compete. To succeed, food designers need to understand consumers and envision what they want, and to use technology and systems to show they can deliver what has been envisioned. They also need to understand organizations in order to make innovation happen in a corporation. The authors of this book argue that design has been grossly underestimated in the food industry. The role of design in relation to technology of every kind (materials, mechanics, ingredients, conversion, transformation, etc.) is described, discussed, challenged and put into proper perspective. The authors deftly analyze and synthesize complex concepts, inspiring new ideas and practices through real-world examples. The second part of the book emphasizes the role of innovation and how the elements described and discussed in the first parts (design, technology, business) must join forces in order to drive valuable innovation in complex organizations such as large (and not so large) food companies. Ultimately, this groundbreaking book champions the implementation of a design role in defining and executing business strategies and business processes. Not only are designers tremendously important to the present and future successes of food corporations, but they should play an active and decisive role at the executive board level of any food company that strives for greater success.
