The center focuses on hurricane, tornado, flooding and erosion hazards as they affect eastern North Carolina and the United States. 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.
The mission of the center is to promote research and analysis that ultimately reduces the harm caused by forces of nature to life, communities and the environment.
The center is currently directed by Dr. Jamie Kruse and has 52 research associates from fifteen universities and research institutes.
