Hurricane Florence: Building resilience for the new normal

A study written in collaboration with Zurich North America, Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance and ISET-International – a nonprofit organization committed to building resilience – looks in detail at the floods and the consequences that resulted from 2018’s Hurricane Florence in North Carolina. This report focuses on opportunities, successes and learnings following Florence and it is Zurich’s 14th post-event review of a severe weather event. The lessons learned and recommendations outlined in the report are part of a wider series of post-event reviews, using the Post Event Review Capability (PERC) methodology, which the Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance has been conducting since 2013. Post-event reviews generate actionable recommendations for reducing future damages.
