Investigators from Coastal Hazards COE (CHC) at UNC-Chapel Hill assisted the USCG by tracking the likely storm surge/wave impact of Hurricane Irene. CHC’s information led USCG to relocate a Command Center that was subsequently damaged by the hurricane and would have limited the effectiveness of USCG response operations. Wave and surge forecasts produced by the Center can be accessed at http://nc-cera.renci.org.
