Given FEMA's goal of developing, "a public educated on what to do before, during and after a disaster to protect themselves, their families, their homes and their business", the effectiveness of its organization and programs must be assessed on the basis of case study analysis of 1) before and after disaster planning by the agency; and 2) the extent and substance of the public's "practical knowledge" of a particular hazard. This research undertakes the second of these tasks through a case study assessment of the public's preparation for, and response to, Hurricane Bonnie, which hit the coastal communities of southern North carolina, August 26-28 August
