This report reviews the performance of several communities’ Community Rating System (CRS) activities during and after the flooding caused by 1999’s Hurricane Floyd in North Carolina.

This report will review the performance of several communities’ CRS activities during and after the flooding caused by 1999’s Hurricane Floyd in North Carolina.
