Abstract:

Coastal North Carolina, including the vulnerable barrier islands, has been struck by 33 major hurricanes between 1899 and 1971. Richardson provides a list of the storms and damage produced, discusses what is currently being done to protect the islands, and makes recommendations for a new hurricane policy, including land use planning.
