    An Overview of Houston’s Perceived and Actual Preparedness for the 2024 Hurricane Season
    (Rice University Kinder Institute for Urban Research, 2025) DeLisi, Anna G.; Potter, D.
    To better understand Houston and Harris County residents’ experiences with and attitudes toward disaster preparedness, the Kinder Institute for Urban Research surveyed over 5,000 residents across the region in the spring of 2024 and in the weeks following Hurricane Beryl. This report provides a descriptive overview of disaster preparedness in the region ahead of and during the 2024 hurricane season, as well as additional contextual information about how institutions prepared specifically for Beryl. These observations are used to build a set of recommendations aimed at improving preparedness in the future.
