Abstract:

Over 600 communities on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts are vulnerable to the devastating impacts of severe hurricanes. While there are many communities at risk, few have experienced the major recovery and reconstruction process that follows a major storm. This article examines the obstacles and consequences of development management planning in disaster-prone areas, and the unique opportunities for developers and public recreation offices after major storms.
