Flooded NC Poultry

This Master’s Project analyzes the impacts of extreme flood events on Robeson, Lenoir, and Wayne Counties' poultry farms and nearby communities. This is accomplished by identifying poultry farms in these counties and mapping Hurricanes Matthew and Florence's storm footprints. The paper takes a social and environmental justice approach to rural disaster preparedness and highlights the risks marginalized (yet historically resilient) families face without systemic change. Works (shapefiles, coding, etc.) created in this project are available upon request.Master of City and Regional Plannin
