Although hurricanes are usually associated with southern coastal states, Hurricane Irene and even more recently, Superstorm Sandy serve as reminders that these are not the only states at risk.
A state's total risk of exposure depends on a variety of factors, including trends in population and residential development, geographic risk factors and length of the coastline.
