Disaster Recovery Performance After Hurricane Hugo: Poor Report Card

将审查飓风雨果对南卡罗来纳州影响的恢复工作。将确定近期恢复期间提出的问题；将仔细审查过去飓风恢复经验的影响；将联邦、州、地方公共和私营组织为制定恢复计划所做的假设和期望与实际恢复行动进行比较。这项工作的结果将使自然灾害研究人员、管理人员、规划者、保险业和其他处理自然灾害减灾的专业人员受益。

The recovery efforts from the impact of Hurricane Hugo on South Carolina will be examined. The issues presented during the near-tern recovery will be identified; the influence of past experiences in hurricane recovery will be scrutinized; and the assumptions and expectations from federal, state, local public and private organizations made for the formulation of recovery plans will be compared with the actual recovery actions. The result of this work will benefit natural hazards researchers, administrators, planners, the insurance industry, and other professionals dealing with natural disasters mitigation.
