This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.041 - Engineering) provides $473,305 in funding to the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028. The project aims to advance the understanding of the effectiveness of structural mitigation approaches in reducing damage to coastal households from hurricane wind, wave, and surge hazards. Key activities include:

  • Developing and evaluating a multi-level interdisciplinary model to simulate household-level home retrofit decisions in response to hurricane hazards, based on occupant exposure, vulnerability indicators, and the benefit/cost of mitigation options.
  • Applying the model to the Houston-Galveston and Coastal Bend regions of Texas, which have experienced severe wind and surge damage during recent hurricanes.
  • Creating a user-friendly web application to allow users to compare retrofit options and make informed home mitigation decisions.
  • Conducting an extensive dissemination, training, and outreach campaign in coastal communities to increase awareness of home mitigation options.

The project seeks to provide critical insights to help reduce the loss of life and property from hurricane impacts on coastal homes.
