The Hidden Costs of Coastal Hazards

"The H. John Heinz III Center recently brought together a panel of experts to help develop new strategies to identify and reduce the costs of weather-related hazards associated with coastal development. The Hidden Costs of Coastal Hazards presents the panel's findings, offering the first in-depth study that considers the costs of coastal hazards to natural resources, social institutions, business, and the built environment."--BOOK JACKET.

"Policymakers and planners interested in coastal hazard issues will find the book a unique source of new information and insight, as will private-sector decisionmakers including lenders, investors, developers, and insurers of coastal property."--BOOK JACKET.
