2 Foreword In the aftermath of Hurricane Floyd, the state of North Carolina is demonstrating a major, unprecedented commitment to hazard mitigation. New groups and organizations in the public, private, voluntary and research sectors are becoming directly involved in projects and initiatives to reduce the vulnerability of North Carolina s communities to hurricanes and other natural hazards. The Governor and the North Carolina General Assembly, for their part, have committed hundreds of millions of dollars of state funds for housing assistance, economic recovery, and local government support. As communities rebuild, every effort is being made to ensure a balanced approach to redevelopment, one that promotes economic and social goals, while achieving the goals of hazard mitigation and the conservation of natural resources. To accelerate the institutionalization of hazard mitigation in North Carolina, the North Carolina Emergency Management Division has established the Hazard Mitigation Planning Initiative (HMPI), a long-term program to build local capacity to implement mitigation policies and programs in communities across the state. Currently, eleven communities fully participate in HMPI; the goal is to extend this program to all communities in the state at risk to natural hazards. While North Carolina continues to receive national recognition for HMPI and other mitigation efforts, the fundamental question becomes to what extent are these mitigation measures directly contributing to a measurable reduction in losses from natural disasters? Hazard Mitigation in North Carolina: Measuring Success addresses this issue. Through a series of case studies, this study documents losses avoided as a result of the implementation of a wide range of mitigation measures, including elevations in place, and the acquisition and relocation or demolition of flood-prone properties. In essence, the state of North Carolina can for the first time definitively point to the savings from mitigation. This study is an important milestone in the evolution of mitigation and sustainable development in North Carolina. It goes beyond the numbers and captures the dedication and resolve of community leaders to reduce their vulnerability to hurricanes, flooding, and other natural hazards. David E. Kelly, Secretary Department of Crime Control and Public Safety Eric Tolbert, Director Emergency Management Division i
