Abstract:

After Hurricane Fran ravaged the coast in 1996, the UNC Center for Urban and Regional Studies studied ways to minimize coastal storm destruction. Among the 1997 study recommendations were purchase of high hazard properties by state or local governments for use as recreation areas or wildlife refuges and limiting governmental subsidies for construction in vulnerable areas.
