This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant award of $375,000 to William Marsh Rice University will design, develop, and deploy the OpenSAFE.AI framework to advance communities' ability to reliably sense current conditions and forecast potential hazards and infrastructure impacts related to coastal storm events.

Working with emergency response agencies in the Houston-Galveston area, the project will iteratively design and tailor the OpenSAFE.AI system to provide timely, equitable, and responsible situational awareness for compound coastal hazards like tropical cyclones. The research will address technical, theoretical, and methodological gaps in developing AI-powered tools to support emergency response actions and risk mitigation interventions. A sub-award of undisclosed value is planned for Texas A&M University at Galveston to contribute expertise in marine and coastal resilience research.
