The South Atlantic Coastal Study (SACS) is located within the coastal areas of the USACE South Atlantic Division which includes the states Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and North Carolina. The study will identify the risks and vulnerabilities of those areas to increased hurricane and storm damage as a result of sea level rise, and identify specific and detailed actions to mitigate risks. SACS will proactively address the coastal storm and flood risks of vulnerable coastal populations, property, ecosystems, economies, and infrastructure along the south Atlantic coastline now and into the future. The assessment will apply lessons learned from the North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study (NACCS), a Congressional response and precedent-setting vulnerability and flood risk-reduction study completed for the north Atlantic coastline in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
