Natural Hazards
Natural hazards like hurricanes, floods and tornadoes are increasing in frequency and strength. We may not be able to prevent extreme weather, but we can improve our ability to predict, respond quickly, and build our homes and infrastructure in a way that can survive major storms. Texas Computing researchers are providing the tools and cyber-infrastructure required to improve the resilience of our communities.
