The Center for Texas Beaches and Shores and the Institute for Sustainable Coastal Communities at Texas A&M University at Galveston will conduct a public opinion survey of Harris County residents on wave height and storm surge impact reduction strategies. We will select a scientific sample of 2,000 residents and administer a mail survey to identify risk perceptions and stated flood mitigation preferences associated with wave impacts caused by coastal storms. Results of the study will help identify public perceptions of flood risk and preferences among a range of mitigiation techniques to reduce wave heights during storm events.
