Faces from the flood

About this book

"Thirty-seven interviews with victims, heroes, volunteers, scientists, and government officials offer tales of dramatic rescues, sorrowful losses, and the quiet determination to survive and rebuild. The story of Floyd is far from over, and North Carolina needs to be prepared to face similar storms in the future, say Richard Moore and Jay Barnes. They conclude with an assessment of the state's response to this disaster and a discussion of what programs should be initiated, maintained, or strengthened in order to prepare for future storms." "Filled with maps, tables, and dozens of striking photographs, Faces from the Flood uses compelling storytelling to highlight the dramatic impact of Hurricane Floyd. The book will serve as a valuable reference for future explorations of North Carolina's greatest disaster."--Jacket.
