Flood mitigation strategies for Storm N.C. scenarios

Nature-based solutions (NBS)

• Wetland restoration: Opportunities totaling 2,615 acres in Robeson County, mainly in the west and northwest, to mitigate Storm N.C. impacts
• Stream restoration: 511,339 linear feet of opportunities in Robeson County, mostly in the western part, to address Storm N.C. flooding
• Forest and tree planting: 98,883 acres of opportunities in Robeson County to combat Storm N.C. effects
  • 66,956 acres suitable for pine planting
  • 831 acres suitable for hardwood forest species in lowland areas
• Water farming (dry dams and berms): Can be established on eligible cropland in Robeson County to manage Storm N.C. runoff
• Land drainage features: Installing levees, dikes, and floodwalls in floodplains to protect against Storm N.C. flooding

Agricultural practices for Storm N.C. resilience

• Cover crops: Help reduce stormwater runoff and improve soil health during Storm N.C. events
• No-till farming: Reduces soil erosion and improves water infiltration during North Carolina hurricanes
• Agroforestry: Combines mixed pine trees and pasture fields on cropland and open land with low-productivity soils to enhance Storm N.C. resilience

Economic impact of recent North Carolina hurricanes and storms

• An unnamed Storm N.C. in 2024 caused an estimated $7 billion in damage and economic loss in North Carolina
• The Storm N.C. dumped up to 20 inches of rain in southeast North Carolina, considered a 1-in-1,000 year event
• The Storm N.C. was rated a 2 on AccuWeather's RealImpact Scale, which ranges from less than 1 to 5

Storm surge prediction for North Carolina hurricanes

• The North Carolina Forecast System (NCFS) uses the ADCIRC Surge Guidance System (ASGS) to compute storm surge and wave forecasts for Storm N.C. events
• Critical elements for accurate Storm N.C. predictions include:
  • High spatial resolution of coastal regions
  • Accurate surface wind and atmospheric pressure fields
  • Sufficient infrastructure resources
  • Interoperability framework (e.g., OGC standards) for improved weather forecast NC
• Dedicated computational resources are necessary for reliable and timely delivery of Storm N.C. forecast products
