Homeowners Handbook for Coastal Weather
Available on the website of the Texas Sea Grant Program at Texas A&M University, the Homeowner’s Handbook to Prepare for Coastal Natural Hazards describes ways to build or retrofit a home to make it more resistant to wind and rain, including sections on roof stability, keeping water out and power issues. It was produced through a partnership between Texas Sea Grant and the nonprofit Gulf of Mexico Alliance. The handbook is also available in Spanish.
