Abstract:

Hurricanes striking North Carolina have not devastated large population centers as Hurricane Katrina did in New Orleans. Still, the state has had its share of disasters from Fran, Floyd, Bonnie, Dennis, and Isabel. Katrina exposed serious deficiencies in hurricane response at the Federal level. This in turn places more responsibility on county and state emergency managers. Secret discusses what needs to be done and what state and local officials are doing to stay ahead of the coming storms.

Abstract:

When Chuck Morrison graduated from high school in Burlington in 1984, he wrote in a friend's yearbook that he would \"one day run a major record label or compete with them.\" He is the founder of Charlotte-based MoRisen Records. The company has not risen as far as he would like, but with a growing profile and roster and two talked about June releases from The Sammies and Elevator Action, MoRisen is poised to become North Carolina's next brand-name independent.
