This center serves as an advocate for the liberal arts disciplines and interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary programs housed in the Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences.
Mission:
To promote research and analysis that ultimately reduces the harm caused by forces of nature to life, business, and the environment.
Purpose:
The Center for Natural Hazards Research focuses on hurricane, tornado, flooding and erosion hazards as they affect eastern North Carolina and, more generally, the United States. The Center will offer educational opportunities to the local community and facilitate research on natural hazards in our region. Areas of active research include the financial impacts of hurricanes and floods, the effectiveness of warning systems, how policy-makers should handle evacuations, and how households can protect themselves from natural hazards.

Description:
Established at North Carolina State University in 1992, with Dr. Carmine Prioli as its principal architect, the Southern Coastal Heritage Program (SCHP) is based on the twofold conviction that (1) our coastal heritage enriches the lives of all of North Carolina's citizens and (2) all of North Carolina's citizens have a responsibility as caretakers of this heritage. Now involving North Carolina State University, the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, East Carolina University, the North Carolina Sea Grant Program, and the North Carolina Division of Archives and History, SCHP has as its mission the partnership of educational, research, and service institutions committed to generating and transmitting knowledge about Southern coastal culture. Its goals include fostering a greater appreciation for coastal culture; establishing a forum where scientific and humanistic disciplines can intersect to achieve fuller and more balanced understandings of issues of current and future concern; increasing the base of knowledge about coastal issues by drawing upon the widest range of human experience and good will; and making that knowledge accessible to people of all ages and interests.
