TEX works with communities to improve their resilience by leveraging Earth and space science to prepare for and mitigate the threats posed by destructive storms, flood and other hazards. Flood Forum USA supports grassroots flood groups across the country by helping them develop strategies for a sustainable future, and TEX is working with ten of their grassroots groups, including one based in Houston ― Residents Against Flooding ― to connect them with scientists who can help them better characterize neighborhood level flood risks and work effectively with local decision makers to mitigate those risks.
