It is not a formal report of the Institute for the Environment, nor is it the work of UNC-Chapel Hill faculty. Fall 2012 Capstone Team Dylan Greenleaf Brian Lee Ashley McClelland Annie Segal Acknowledgements Our capstone team would like to thank MDC, Inc. and the UNC Institute for the Environment for the framework laid out in their Community Based Vulnerability Assessment, which has formed the basis of much of our project. We would also like to thank our partners in Cabarrus County, without whom our project would not have been possible, for welcoming us into their community, and for all of their work and support. In particular, Bobby Smith, Director of Emergency Management, Steven Langer, Fire Marshal, the Cabarrus County Local Emergency Planning Committee, and all those interviewed have provided assistance and input that has facilitated our project. Furthermore, with regard to our survey of Cabarrus County citizens, we would like to thank Cabarrus County for their financial support; the UNC Institute for Public Health for providing staff, equipment, and supplies; Matt Simon for coordinating the survey process; and the Cabarrus County Red Cross (Karen Long, Sam and Kim Murr, Dee Moon, and Leta Schieber) for their support and participation.
