North Carolina and South Carolina are highly susceptible to severe weather, ranked among the top six states for hurricane occurrence by the National Hurricane Center (data for 1851 to 2010). Tropical storms and hurricanes occur frequently along their Atlantic Coast. This project engages appropriate Carolina alternative fuel vehicle stakeholders. They undertake planning, training, and implementation to create an integrated Carolina plan to employ alternative fuel vehicles in enhancing resilience during, and recovery from, infrastructure disruption. The plan helps to establish emergency procedures, training, and best practices for the diversification of, and access to, alternative fuels to expedite storm recovery, increase disruption resilience, and ensure that alternative fuel supplies are reliable during times when conventional fuel supplies are susceptible to disruption.
