Evaluating the Implementation of the South Carolina Beach- front Management Act

飓风雨果摧毁了从查尔斯顿到桃金娘海滩的海滨社区，摧毁了数百座海滨建筑。根据1988年《海滨管理法》，重建工作已经开始，雨果已经对位于这一死亡区的一些建筑进行了早期测试，但这些建筑已被飓风摧毁，无法修复。这项研究将跟踪和分析私人和公共、地方、州和联邦各级的海岸线撤退政策的决策过程和执行情况。对这些重建限制的有效性和可行性的评估将有利于研究人员、管理人员、保险公司和其他对减少美国沿海地区人员和财产的脆弱性感兴趣的专业人员。

Hurricane Hugo devastated beachfront communities from Charleston to Myrtle Beach destroying hundreds of shorefront structures. Reconstruction has already begun under the 1988 Beachfront Management Act and Hugo has provided an early test for some of the buildings which were located in this dead zone but were destroyed by the hurricane beyond repair will be tested. The study will follow and analyze the decisionmaking process and the implementation of the retreat from the shoreline policy at the private and public, local, state and federal levels. The evaluation of the effectiveness and viability of these rebuilding restrictions will be of benefit to researchers, administrators, insurers and other professionals interested in decreasing the vulnerability of people and property located in the coastal areas of the United States.
