Campus Profile
(As of Fall 2011)
History
The East Carolina University (ECU) was originally founded and chartered as the East Carolina
Teachers Training School (ECTTS) by the North Carolina General Assembly under the Public
Laws of North Carolina, 1907, Chapter 820, titled An Act to Stimulate High School Instruction
in the Public Schools of the State and Teacher Training on March 8, 1907. Groundbreaking
ceremonies for the first buildings were held on July 2, 1908 in Greenville, North Carolina and
classes started on October 5, 1909. From a coeducational high school institution with a two-year
teacher’s program, ECTTS developed into a four-year teachers college and was renamed East
Carolina Teachers College (ECTC), awarding its first bachelor’s degree in education in 1921
and its first master’s degree in 1933. By 1948, progress toward full college states was made,
awarding degrees for Bachelor of Arts in education as a liberal arts degree and a bachelor of
science in education as a teaching degree. In 1951, ECTC was renamed as East Carolina College
(ECC) and became the largest college is the South. Regional university status was granted on
July 1, 1967, separate from the existing university system under the Consolidated University of
North Carolina. During this time, the college also assumed its present name as East Carolina
University (ECU). On July 1, 1972, ECU was incorporated into the University of North Carolina
System. By the 1980s, East Carolina University had attained "full institutional maturity" and
awarded its first M.D. and Ph.D. degrees.
Today, East Carolina is a constituent institution of the University of North Carolina and offers
104 bachelor’s degree programs, 74 master’s degree programs, 4 specialist degree programs, 1
first-professional MD program, and 17 doctoral programs in our professional colleges and
schools, Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences, and the Brody School of Medicine. With
a mission of teaching, research, and service, East Carolina University is a dynamic institution
connecting people and ideas, finding solutions to problems, and seeking the challenges of the
future.
In 2007, ECU celebrated its 100th anniversary under the leadership of Chancellor Steven Ballard.

Campus Geography
East Carolina University is located in Greenville, North Carolina and is separated into three
distinct campuses: Main Campus, Health Sciences Campus, and West Research Campus. The
main campus, also known as the east campus, is about 530 acres in an urban residential area of
downtown Greenville. The 158 buildings on main campus comprise more than 4.6 million square
feet of academic, research, and residential space. The Health Sciences campus is situated beside
Pitt County Memorial Hospital (PCMH). PCMH, a 745–bed flagship Level I Trauma Center,
serves as the academic medical center for The Brody School of Medicine. The area is about
2 miles west of Main Campus on 206 acres with nearly 1,300,000 square feet of academic and
research space in 62 buildings. The West Research Campus lies on approximately 600 acres,

4 miles west of the Health Sciences Campus. It consists of a 27,000-square-foot building and
large areas of biology, botany and other sciences field study sites.

Environmental Conditions
Greenville, North Carolina is located in the Coastal Plain region of the state. This region of the
state borders the Atlantic Ocean and the land provides agricultural as well as manufacturing
opportunities. The topography of the Coastal Plain can be seen as the result of erosion. This area
represents a mixture of maritime, pine and hardwood forests. Located closest to the shore,
Greenville is surrounded by lakes, wetlands and streams. The elevation is approximately 10
meters and there are four distinct seasons. The winter season usually stays mildly cold because
the mountains in the western region protect the majority of the state from harsh winters.
Although the average temperature of a summer day is under 90 degrees Fahrenheit, the humidity
intensifies the heat index. Since Greenville lies relatively close to the outer banks of North
Carolina, the large body of water regulates the variability of drastic temperature changes. The
average annual rainfall is between 40 and 55 inches.

Hazard Mitigation Research, Plans, and Projects – East Carolina University (ECU) is broadly
involved in this Pre-Disaster Hazard Mitigation Planning project. This project, which is funded
by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), has developed a Pre-Disaster
Mitigation (PDM) Planning Process for the UNC system as a whole, and for each of the
campuses in the system. In developing the PDM plan for ECU, other campus plans dealing with
hazards, safety and security were utilized to enhance the comprehensive nature of the plan.
The integration of these plans has been and will continue to be implemented by the various,
established committees that have the administrative responsibility for protecting the health and
safety of campus infrastructure as well as students, visitors, faculty and staff while on campus.
These plans are listed above. This PDM plan for ECU contains natural hazard risk assessment
tools (UFIS and UFRAS) that can be utilized along with existing campus plans to aid decisionmakers in protecting the campus’ most important assets from the effects of natural hazards. The
PDM plan is designed to be updated on a regular basis as conditions on the campus evolve over
time.

Likelihood of Occurrence
The probability of the Pitt County area experiencing the effects of a hurricane, or tropical storm, can be
classified as “likely”.
Range of Impact
If a hurricane or tropical storm were to occur, the entire Pitt County area would be subject to the effects of
the storm, therefore the range of impact can be classified as “large”.
Level of Impact
The probable level of impact of a hurricane or tropical storm in Pitt County can be classified as “limited”.
Composite Hazard Index
The hazard index for hurricane impacts in Pitt County is “moderate” based on the probability of
occurrence being “likely”, the “large” area that would be impacted, and the probable “limited” damage
impact. This hazard index of “moderate” for hurricanes indicates that this particular hazard poses a
relatively large threat.
East Carolina University – Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan – Campus Profile
5-23
Tornado
Many times severe storms, such as thunderstorms and hurricanes, can produce concentrated windstorms
called tornadoes. Tornadoes are violently rotating columns of air created where warm, moist air
intersects with cold, dry air. Tornadoes have a much more localized impact than a hurricane or
nor’easter and have been known to destroy one building while leaving a nearby building virtually
unharmed. Tornadoes can produce a path of destruction from 0.01 mile wide to greater than 1 mile wide,
but are generally less than 0.6 mile in width. In terms of length, paths of destruction vary from a few
hundred feet to several miles. The duration of a tornado is typically less than 30 minutes. The Enhanced
Fujita Scale for tornadoes was developed to measure tornado strength, and is shown below.

Likelihood of Occurrence
Since 1950, tornadoes have impacted Pitt County on average once every two years. This translates to a
“possible” level of occurrence.
Range of Impact
Tornadoes in Pitt County typically have a very localized effect over a “small” area.
Level of Impact
Although tornadoes occur on a fairly regular basis in Pitt County, there has only been one occurrence of a
level F4 tornado in the last fifty-three years. Forty-eight percent of tornado events have been at the F0
level, thirty-one percent at F1, two percent at F2, one percent at F3 and one percent at F4, as well as two
remain unclassified. On average the probable level of impact of tornadoes in Pitt County can be
categorized as “negligible”.
Composite Hazard Index
The composite hazard index for tornadoes in Pitt County is categorized as “low” based on a “possible”
occurrence, “small” range of impact, and, on average, “negligible” level of impact. This hazard index of
“low” indicates that although tornadoes pose a threat, tornado impacts on average can be expected to be
minor. Thus, local hazard mitigation efforts should address but not concentrate on this natural hazard.
Ice/Snow
Severe winter weather is typically associated with much colder climates; however, in some instances
winter storms do occur in the warmer climate of North Carolina. On occasion, Pitt County has had
moderate winter weather as a result of a nor’easter originating in the Gulf Stream and producing frozen
precipitation. Winter storms can paralyze a community by shutting down normal day-to-day operations.
Winter storms produce an accumulation of snow and ice on trees and utility lines resulting in loss of
electricity and blocked transportation routes. Frequently, especially in rural areas, loss of electric power
means loss of heat for residential customers, which poses an immediate threat to human life. Because of
the rare occurrence of these events, central and eastern North Carolina communities are often not
prepared because they cannot afford to purchase expensive road and debris clearing equipment for these
relatively rare events.

Likelihood of Occurrence
North Carolina averages more than one severe winter storm per year in the Coastal Plains area of the
State. The likelihood of occurrence of a severe winter storm can be classified as “likely”.
Range of Impact
When severe winter storms do occur they typically impact a relatively large area or region of the State,
thus the range of impact can be classified as “large”.
Level of Impact
Severe winter storms can have a tremendous impact on communities within the State, but they do not
typically result in more than “limited” impact.
Composite Hazard Index
The hazard index for severe winter storms in Pitt County is categorized as “moderate” based on a “likely”
occurrence, but “large” range of impact, and “limited” level of impact. This composite hazard index of
“moderate” indicates that severe winter storms are a serious threat that should be addressed with local
hazard mitigation initiatives where possible. Because of the regional impact of severe winter storms,
however, many initiatives are more appropriately addressed and coordinated at the State level.
Flood
Flooding is normally the result of a larger event such as a hurricane, nor’easter or thunderstorm, but
flooding can be as frequent as the occurrence of a spring rain or a summer thunderstorm. Flooding is
caused by excessive precipitation and can be generally considered in two categories: flash floods and
general floods.
Flash floods are the product of localized, high-intensity precipitation over a small drainage basin in a
short time period. Flash floods, which typically occur more frequently than general floods, occur along
small streams and creeks. The undermining or washing out of roads is typically associated with flash
floods. General floods are caused by precipitation over a longer time period and over a given river basin.
These larger storm events occur along the East Coast of the United States most often in the late summer
and fall.

Likelihood of Occurrence
The likelihood of localized flooding can be categorized as “highly likely” and area wide flooding as
“likely”.
Range of Impact
Flooding is common to specific, known flood hazard areas where development can be controlled or
limited. The likely range of flood impact can be classified as “medium”.
Level of Impact
Localized flooding has a “negligible” level of impact, whereas area wide flooding typically has a
“limited” level of impact within Pitt County even though flooding associated with Hurricane Floyd in
September 1999 certainly had a critical impact on those properties and owners that were directly affected.
Composite Hazard Index
The hazard index for floods in Pitt County is categorized as “moderate” based on a “likely to highly
likely” level of occurrence, “small” range of impact, and “limited” level of impact. This hazard index
indicates that floods should be a major focus of local hazard mitigation efforts.
Wildfire
Wildfires occur in North Carolina during the dry spring and summer months. The potential for wildfires
depends upon recent climate conditions, surface fuel characteristics, and fire behavior. In recent years,
East Carolina University – Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan – Campus Profile
5-27
increased residential development has been occurring along the urban/rural interface where homes built in
or near forests become susceptible to wildfire damage.
Previous Occurrences
According to data provided by the NC Division of Forestry, there is a five year average of just over 123
wildfires per year in Pitt County.
Likelihood of Occurrence
Based on a 5 year average of 23 wildfires per year in Pitt County, wildfire events can be considered
“likely”.
Range of Impact
When wildfires do occur they typically impact a relatively small area of land. The range of impact can be
classified as “small”.
Level of Impact
Wildfires have a limited impact on the community so the level of impact can be classified as “limited” for
Pitt County.
Composite Hazard Index
The hazard index for wildfires in Pitt County is categorized as “moderate” based on a “likely” occurrence,
“small” range of impact, and “limited” level of impact. This hazard index of “moderate” indicates that
the threat of wildfires warrants additional hazard mitigation activities beyond those already in place at the
State level.

Services
Emergency Services – Pitt County Emergency Management consists of four divisions: 9-1-1
Communications, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Fire Marshal, and local Emergency
Planning. Pitt County Emergency Management maintains a computerized registry for people
with special medical needs. Serving as the coordinating agency for emergency response in the
event of a disaster, Emergency Management maintains plans for coping with emergencies such
as tornados, hurricanes, floods, and nuclear accidents. The department works closely with the
County and municipal fire departments and rescue squads. Emergency Management also
enforces the Fire Prevention Code and conducts regular fire inspection programs of all
businesses and places of assembly. Emergency Management staff members work closely with
state and local law enforcement agencies to combat arson and unlawful burning. Emergency
Management responds to all incidents involving hazardous materials. Information regarding fire,
emergency medical safety, and natural disasters is available. Additionally, EM issues permits
required for fireworks displays and permits required for the open burning of any vegetation.
Existing Hazard Mitigation Plans and Projects – Pitt County was awarded a $50,000 PreDisaster Mitigation Grant from FEMA to complete a required update to our Multijurisdictional
Hazard Mitigation Plan. As part of this update, the Towns of Ayden, Falkland, Fountain, Grifton
and Simpson are joining Pitt County, Bethel, Farmville and Winterville as plan participants.
Staff, along with assistance from The Wooten Company, began working on the update in March.
The updated plan was submitted to North Carolina Emergency Management (NCEM) for review
in November. Once the plan has been approved by NCEM it will be forwarded along to FEMA
for final approval. The updated plan must be approved by FEMA by March 15, 2010. Those
communities that do not have an approved plan will not be eligible for future public assistance
and hazard mitigation funding.
