Scarborough Bluffs is a 15 km long stretch of the Lake Ontario shoreline east of downtown Toronto. This heavily urbanized area currently represents Canada's most serious erosion problem. The worst affected zone is 1.5 km long and lies along South Marine Drive where 50 m high bluffs are failing by shallow retrogressive failures of jointed glacial clays over underlying deltaic sands and clays. The erosion rate is about four times that for the coastline as a whole.Heavy rains in the Toronto area in August and September 1986 produced a spate of slope failures and mud flows. Particularly heavy storms on September 10 and 29 triggered extensive retrogressive slope failures at South Marine Drive. Hydrochemical investigations of discharge waters suggest that slope failure was caused by surface runoff on the bluff top recharging lower slope areas by infiltration through joints in the upper clay capping. Discharge of water from the lower slope is impeded by less permeable barriers in the deltaic stratigraphy at the site and by a cover of clayey slope debris. Data suggest that provision for adequate drainage of the bluff top, by interceptor drains, is a prerequisite for controlling slope behaviour in the area. Key words: slopes, erosion, groundwater, hydrochemical, recharge, drainage.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a distribuição espaço-temporal dos reconhecimentos de Situação de Emergência associados à dinâmica hidrometeorológica na microrregião pluviometricamente homogênea do Litoral paraibano, durante o período de 2003 a 2016. Para isso, foram utilizados dados adquiridos no site do Ministério da Integração Nacional, encontrados na página da Secretaria Nacional de Proteção e Defesa Civil, conforme reconhecimentos disponibilizados através de portarias. Como resultados principais, constatou-se um total de 29 reconhecimentos, em que 51,7% corresponde a enchentes; 20,7% a chuvas intensas; 24,2% correspondente a enxurradas e 3,4% a inundações. Considera-se que os resultados obtidos tiveram um cunho mais descritivo, necessitando assim de estudos mais avançados sobre a temática.Palavras chave: Litoral Paraibano, desastres hidrometeorológicos, situação de emergência. ABSTRACTThe present work has for objective analyze the space-temporal distribution of the emergency situations recognizements associated to the hydrometeorological dynamic on the pluviometrically homogenius microregion of the coast of Paraíba, during the period of 2003 to 2016. For that, data were used acquired from the Ministério da Integração Nacional’s site, found on the Secretaria Nacional de Proteção e Defesa Civil’s page, conform available recognizements through ordinances. As main results, a total of 29 recognizements were found, in which 51,7% corresponds to floods; 20,7% to heavy rain; 24,2% corresponding to flash flood and 3,4% to inundations. It’s considered that the obtained results have a descriptive label, needing then advanced studies about the theme.Keywords: Coast of Paraiba, hydrometeorlogical disasters, emergency situations. RESUMENEste documento tiene como objetivo analizar la distribución espacio-temporal de los reconocimientos de situaciones de emergencia com la dinâmica hidrometeorológica em la microrregión de lluvia homogénea de la costa paraibana, de 2003 a 2016.

Integración nacional, que se encuentra en la página de la Secretaría Nacional de Protección y Defensa Civil, como agradecimientos disponibles a través de ordenanzas. Como resultados principales, hubo un total de 29 reconocimientos, de los cuales el 51.7% correspondió a inundaciones; 20.7% a fuertes lluvias; 24.2% correspondientes a enxurradas y 3.4% a inundaciones. Se considera que los resultados obtenidos tuvieron una naturaleza más descriptiva, por lo que requirieron estúdios más avanzados sobre el tema.Palabras clave: Costa de Paraiba, desastres hidrometeorológicos, situación de emergencia.
