. Coast watch. Marine resources; Oceanography; Coastal zone management; Coastal ecology. Spencer Rogers Rogers Appointed to Emergency Preparedness Committee Spencer Rogers, North Carolina Sea Grant coastal construction and erosion specialist, has been appointed to the state's Joint Interim Study Committee on Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Management Recovery. The committee will study a variety of issues related to coastal storms — from state building codes for hurricane and flood-prone areas to hurricane evacuation and response. Members also will examine the public health infrastructure for natural and nonnatural disasters, including preparation and response for a pandemic flu, as well as flood preparation and response. Rogers is a nationally recognized expert in assessing building damage from hurricanes. He has surveyed the structural damage from every hurricane that has struck the East and Gulf coasts during the last 30 years. "I am dedicated to improving the state's building codes and hurricane-related construction issues," says Rogers. Representatives from several state agencies, universities and businesses are on the 36-member committee.
