North Carolina's experience with Hurricane Floyd vividly illustrates the role that development in high-hazard areas plays in turning natural hazards into natural disasters. North Carolina officials estimate that most of the 9,000 homes that suffered major storm damage were built in floodways or 100-year floodplains. In addition, the flood swept through twenty-four municipal sewage treatments plants, fifty hog waste lagoons,and three junkyards that were sited in floodplains.
