New Publication Covers Tools, Risks Related toCoastal Hazards and Social Vulnerability

The North Carolina Coastal Resources, Law, Planning and Policy Center is offering a publication for local government officials whose communities are dealing with extreme weather events and increased flooding. The paper, titled “Mapping Coastal Risks and Social Vulnerability: Current Tools and Legal Risks,” outlines the available data sets for social vulnerability, their current and potential use, and the associated legal risks in using that information for adaptation planning. It is part of a project that was funded jointly by North Carolina and Virginia Sea Grant programs. Contact: Lisa Schiavinato, 919-513-1895, lisa_schiavinato@ncsu.edu
