Harvey at 10

What We’ve Learned &
What Comes Next for Greater Houston

A decade after Hurricane Harvey, Greater Houston has made significant strides in recovery and resilience across Harris County. Now, the region has an opportunity to reflect on what has worked, where challenges remain, and how to build a stronger future.

Harvey at 10 is a regional initiative led by the Greater Houston Disaster Alliance, with research led by Texas A&M University’s Hazard Reduction & Recovery Center. We want to hear what has changed since Harvey, what still needs work, and what should come next. Your input will help inform the research, recommendations, and regional conversations leading up to August 2027.

This effort will seek to synthesize existing studies, investments, and data to identify what has worked, where gaps remain, and what actions are needed to strengthen regional resilience moving forward. Where data or information is limited or unavailable, the consultant will work with key stakeholders and partners to identify, access and analyze available data, where feasible, to inform shared understanding and decision-making among Greater Houston stakeholders.

Through sharing your perspective, the report will examine progress across three core dimensions:

Supported & Connected People

Safe & Adapted Places

Responsive & Aligned Systems

Resiliency Sponsors
