CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - State and local leaders are meeting to discuss the threat posed to the South Carolina coast by bigger and more severe hurricanes.
The Coastal Risk Symposium in Charleston on Friday includes business, government and community leaders. Among the speakers are Charleston Mayor Joe Riley and Leslie Jones, a deputy director of

Many scientists think climate change will result in more severe hurricanes.
The symposium is sponsored by the Travelers Institute, created by The Travelers insurance and financial services company to discuss public policy issues of importance to insurance markets.
