Johnson, R. W. (R. Wally), author. Roars from the mountain : colonial management of the 1951 volcanic disaster at Mount Lamington / R. Wally Johnson. Acton, Australian Capital Territory : ANU Press, [2020] ©2020 1 online resource (xxv, 356 pages) : illustrations text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Description based on print version record. Mount Lamington broke out in violent eruption on 21 January 1951, killing thousands of Orokaiva people, devastating villages and destroying infrastructure. Generations of Orokavia people had lived on the rich volcanic soils of Mount Lamington, apparently unaware of the deadly volcanic threat that lay dormant beneath them. Also unaware were the Europeans who administered the Territory of Papua and New Guinea at the time of the eruption, and who were uncertain about how to interpret the increasing volcanic unrest on the mountain in the preceding days of the disaster. Roars from the Mountain seeks to address why so many people died at Mount Lamington by examining the large amount of published and unpublished records that are available on the 1951 disaster. The information sources also include the results of interviews with survivors and with people who were part of the relief, recovery and remembrance phases of what can still be regarded as one of Australias greatest natural-hazard disasters. pt. 1. Tidal wave from the West -- pt. 2. Catastrophic eruption -- pt. 3. After the disaster. Emergency management. 1-76046-355-8 |
