Hazard mitigation in the Outer Banks
The Outer Banks are the barrier islands along the east coast of North Carolina, that are extremely sensitive to environmental hazards, particularly hurricanes. This article is about how people of the Outer Banks prepare for natural disasters.
==Geography==
The chain of sand islands begins at the southeast corner of Virginia Beach and run parallel to most of North Carolina's coastline. The long thin strip of land mass separates the Atlantic Ocean from the Currituck, Albermarle, and Pamlico sounds. The sanctuary of these sounds contains large inlets, bays, and a massive lagoon providing estuaries and habitats for hundreds of species which are protected by the Outer Banks. From the folklore of Blackbeard's pirates and the history of over a thousand shipwrecks that have occurred in the Graveyard of the Atlantic to the birth of flight engineered by the Wright Brothers, the history of the islands have conducted much attention towards the Outer Banks. Scenic views and the temperate climate have drawn thousands of people to relocate along the Outer Banks beachfront. Tourist began to travel down from New York to the Outer Banks after the end of the Civil War to hunt waterfowl. Monumental varieties of duck, geese, and other water birds manifested a new hunting industry for the Outer Banks constructing hotels, cafes, and stores. Eventually roads and bridges were built due to the rapid growth and popularity of the Outer Banks. Each year the Outer Banks receive an extensive amount of visitors that have been attracted by restaurants, shopping, historic monuments, and lively entertainment.The desired vacation destination of the Outer Banks provides economic and employment development for residents. The serenity provided by the exceptional real estate supplemented by the Outer Banks can be quickly turned upside down and into a nightmare if encountered by a hurricane. Hurricanes are an extreme concern for the stability and existence of the Outer Banks. The Outer Banks are highly vulnerable when threatened by a hurricane. When a hurricane is forecasted to strike the Outer Banks, a hazard mitigation plan must be developed. The goal of a hazard mitigation plan is to identify the policies and tools that are needed to be implemented in order to reduce or even eliminate the risk of life and property loss from any event that may occur in the Outer Banks.〔Ames, V.
