FIGURE 4-1

The use of generators to produce electricity is a well-known issue following disasters because it causes carbon monoxide poisoning. This figure shows the number of cases of carbon monoxide poisoning cases reported after Hurricane Katrina in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

Figure 22

A through E show some of the ways hundreds of thousands died in mass fires resulting from large-scale incendiary raids during World War II. A through C are photos of the dead found in shelters. The sequence of events varied, but it appears that those in shelters most often succumbed to carbon monoxide that filtered into shelters from partially combusting debris around shelters. A and C show corpses that were desiccated from the effects of extreme heating of shelters from surrounding rubble of collapsed buildings. In some cases shelter heating may have been the cause of death, but it is believed most victims in shelters were killed by carbon monoxide poisoning. However, even if carbon monoxide poisoning could have been avoided, the heating of many shelters from overburdens of fire-heated rubble would have almost certainly killed the occupants at a later time. D shows a victim who attempted to flee the fire zone rather than stay in a shelter. Since the street winds and temperatures were so high, hyperthermia, possibly in combination with combustion product poisoning, killed many thousands in the streets of Hamburg. E shows corpses in a truck. These victims were probably overcome by heat and carbon monoxide as they attempted to escape a fire zone.
