Talk:Hurricane recovery in North Carolina
Hey guys, Just wanted to test out starting the talk page, Joesph mentioned we should go ahead and begin getting five sources each. I think that is a good idea since we will be graded on having around 20 sources. The outline and references are due on March 1st. I still think six headers with about two paragraphs each would work well. [ Agencies responsible for implementation, Recovery plans and policy, Environmental impact and rebuilding (3 paragraphs), Planning and Development Recovery (one paragraph), and funding. (That is only five).] Like I noted, we could delegate more paragraphs to a section that would likely have more info and less to one that we would probably find less research on. I think we should each be kind of going in a direction for research so that we do not all end up with the same five great sources. Let me know what you all think about assigning topics to find sources for and what topics we each would want to do. Please feel free to add topics to the ones I suggested! Thanks!

Jack's, I completely agree with the direction we've began to develop. March 1st is going to get here fairly quickly and we have to have some other things completed for that date. That being said, I think we should try and meet on Tuesday or during the day Thursday (if the assignment is due @ midnight) and go over what we've gathered individually. I really can't meet on Wednesday b/c I have class/meetings from 1-9pm. I could meet Tue. after 330 or Thursday from 1230-230 or 4-6. I think it would really help us organize our work and make sure we don't have anything redundant. As far as the actual project I like the 5 topics Stewart previously mentioned. My only worry is that Recovery plans and policy, and rebuilding are to similar to Planning and Development Recovery. We could have a section on past hurricanes and anything that was innovative or unsuccessful in their recovery. I think funding can be 2 paragraphs b/c we could talk about State programs and their funding, as well as Federal programs and what it takes to receive these funds. I would also like to volunteer to work on the environmental impact section and another subject that people don't want. We could also maybe add in a section on non-profit groups and the role they play in recovery. Not sure if there is a lot of research on their impact but it could at least be added in somewhere. Let me know what you guys think about meeting prior to the due date and what times would work for y'all. Thanks. --Moym11 (talk) 03:47, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
I have a few sites that I thought would be helpful and interesting to view:

I am able to meet Monday and tuesday after 5, wednesday all day, and Thursday after 12:15 but I will be leaving for Tennessee that thursday evening so the sooner we could meet on that day would be best for me. Also we could talk about a more enviornmental view of hurricane effects that North Carolina would have to deal with such as How the forests are affected, how the continental shelf is affected, and how the aquatic life is affected by hurricanes. Just some more ideas to be thrown into the mix, I am open for anything. Although if we did choose a paragraph on environmental damage and recovery i would like to do the research for it. Thanks. --Atkinsonb08 (talk) 11:52, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
