On Tuesday, Oct. 8, 12 days after Hurricane Helene arrived in Western North Carolina, reporters Deanna Sipe and Marrah Ste. Marie interviewed the director of the Program for the Study of Developed Shorelines, Robert Young. The interview was broadcast live on 95.3 FM WWCU during the station’s coverage of Hurricane Helene.
Young uses coastal science to study flood hazards, rising sea levels, coastal storm impacts and coastal erosion. The program educates individual homeowners to varying levels of government to help people understand how to better manage the coast.
