Abstract:
Hurricane Floyd and the subsequent flooding in September 1999 caused the state's worst natural disaster. Schwab summarizes the storm's disastrous effects on Eastern Carolina and describes the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management's initiative of hazard mitigation that seeks to promote local level planning to insure preparedness the next time a natural disaster strikes.
