Clemson researchers link federal flood insurance program to accelerated coastal development

lawsuit was being fought by the state, which argued that it should not have to compensate landowners for coastal property losses, development permits in Murrells Inlet dropped by 65 percent. Once the lawsuit was resolved, the number of permits rose by 378 percent in 1993.

"That clinched it for us," said Allen. "As long as the risk was taken away, people would build on the coast. When the personal risk returned, they built elsewhere."

Becker said this research and other land-use research underway at the Thurmond Institute will help local officials and state government develop policies to manage growth and reduce risk.

"We don't have an agenda," he said. "Our research is based on the facts, and we want those facts to help the policy process."
