The southern exercise scenario is designed to reflect the primary hazards in the Southeast and Gulf Coast states. This exercise is based on a CD-ROM developed by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration for New Hanover County, North Carolina, which outlines the primarily coastal hazards affecting the county. It details the county's past history of natural disasters and examines viable mitigation strategies. This exercise will be most appropriate for eastern and southern coastal states threatened by hurricanes, coastal storms, flooding, and tornadoes.
