Correction: Park, G. A Comprehensive Analysis of Hurricane Damage across the U.S. Gulf and Atlantic Coasts Using Geospatial Big Data. ISPRS Int. J. Geo-Inf. 2021, 10, 781

Text Correction

There was an error in the original publication [1]. The number of counties was incorrect (the number should be 775 instead of 777).

A correction has been made to Abstract:

Original:

(3) Results: A total of 777 counties were found to comprise the “hurricane-prone coastal counties” that have experienced at least one instance of hurricane damage over the study period.

Corrected:

(3) Results: A total of 775 counties were found to comprise the “hurricane-prone coastal counties” that have experienced at least one instance of hurricane damage over the study period.

A correction has been made to Section 3.2. At-Risk Populations in the Hurricane-Prone Coastal Counties, Paragraph 1:

Original:

Combining the spatial extent of hurricane-damaged areas of F0, F1, F2, and F3 winds (Figure 10a) and storm surges (Figure 10b), the spatial coverage of this study area consists of 777 counties over 22 states (Figure 10c). The list of coastal counties defined in this study is set out in Appendix A.

A correction has been made to Section 4. Discussion, Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2:

Original:

As a result, 777 counties were found to comprise the hurricane at-risk zones that have experienced at least one instance of hurricane damage over the last six decades.

Corrected:

As a result, 775 counties were found to comprise the hurricane at-risk zones that have experienced at least one instance of hurricane damage over the last six decades.

Original:

The current study proposed the geographical extent of 777 hurricane-prone coastal counties that border the Gulf of Mexico and the eastern Atlantic Coast of the United States, excluding the Pacific Coast (Appendix A).
