The intensely active 2017 Atlantic basin hurricane season provided an opportunity to examine how climate drivers, including warming oceans and rising seas, exacerbated tropical cyclone hazards. The season also highlighted the unique vulnerabilities of populations residing on Small Island Developing States (SIDS) to the catastrophic potential of these storms. During 2017, 22 of the 29 Caribbean SIDS were affected by at least one named storm, and multiple SIDS experienced extreme damage. This paper aims to review the multiplicity of storm impacts on Caribbean SIDS throughout the 2017 season, to explicate the influences of climate drivers on storm formation and intensity, to explore the propensity of SIDS to sustain severe damage and prolonged disruption of essential services, to document the spectrum of public health consequences, and to delineate the daunting hurdles that challenged emergency response and recovery operations for island-based, disaster-affected populations.

“…Earlier studies on relief workers generally found them to be at higher risk of developing trauma-related illness, and the level of risk depends on the intensity and duration of exposure to traumatic situations (Holloway and Everly 2009;Norris et al 2002). However, a recent systematic review of health outcomes among relief workers found a wide range of prevalence of PTSD upon returning from missions, from 0 to 36% (Garbern, Ebbeling, and Bartels 2016).…”

“…Also, local residents can enjoy a long-term good living environment (Vo, Forder, Tavener et al, 2015), and employment from tourism is promoted (Byles et al, 2014), which positively affects their mental health. However, those who have a high yearning for economic development (Garbern, Ebbeling, & Bartels, 2016), prefer to enjoy modern life, and maintain their original life and do not want their own lives interfered by the tourism industry will be resistant to this (Nukui, Midorikawa, Murakami et al, 2018). Therefore, this paper attempts to study the mental health status and influencing factors of the local people in nature reserves using the questionnaires and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10).…”

In addition to landscape and ecology protection, nature reserve has a certain impact on the work and life of local residents, and possible their mental health. This paper aims to identify the factors influencing the mental health of residents in nature reserves. First, the mental health of residents in a nature reserve and its influencing factors were analysed descriptively through a questionnaire survey, using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). Then, seven indices, e.g. family status, life pressure and social support, were selected to establish a multi-ordered Logit regression model. The results show that gender, age, occupation and family income are closely related to the mental health of residents in the nature reserve; the years of education, family economic situation, physical health, life pressure and social support have a significant impact on the mental health of the local residents. The research results provide an important guide for improving the mental health of residents in nature reserves.
