The Southern Appalachians faces landslides and floods regularly that impact thousands of residents. Yet we continue to build in places that put people and property in harm’s way. This interactive forum features leading experts on how our special geology affects livability including Rick Wooten who was the Senior Geologist for Geohazards and Engineering Geology at N.C Geological Survey, Jim Fox who is a leading resilience expert and elders whose families have been impacted by major floods up to and including the 1916 Flood.
