Guest Editors:
Jeff Melby, Noble Consultants/GEC

The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) conducted the North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study (NACCS) following Hurricane Sandy. The study included regional high-fidelity modeling of the coastal storm hazard as well as related risk and resilience evaluations for coastal communities. The NACCS included documentation in the form of technical reports and some of the pertinent and generalized parts have been summarized in papers for this collection.
