About the Region

Southeast

The Southeast spans Atlantic and Gulf coastal areas, inland cities, and Appalachian communities. Atlanta, Charlotte, and the Raleigh-Durham area are examples of metropolitan settings within a region that also includes smaller towns and rural areas.

Coastal exposure, elevation, and distance inland matter when comparing climate and natural hazards. A mountain community need not share the conditions of a Florida coastal city. Use the local climate and available risk information; housing costs and services also vary by place.
