Summary: Hurricane Floyd, which made landfall along the North Carolina coast on September 15, 1999, was a devastating and tragic event. The massive size and strength of the storm, combined with significant rainfall, caused federal, state and local emergency management personnel along the entire east coast of the United States to prepare, respond, and, if necessary, recover from the effects of Hurricane Floyd. The response and recovery activities associated with the storm highlight how advances in technology have enchanced the ability to deal with disasters.
