The Galveston County Health District has partnered with the USA Center for Rural Health Preparedness as the Texas A&M Health Science Center School of Rural Public Health to promote a long-term study of the public health impacts of Hurricanes on the Gulf Coast.
As such, the USA Center has created a registry of individuals who were affected by Hurricane Ike. This registry will serve as a way to contact individuals over the next five years to learn about their evacuation, sheltering, and recovery after Hurricane Ike. It is expected that this study with help identify our community health needs and ultimately improve planning for and responding to future such natural disasters.
The Health District supports this study. If you are willing to participate in this important study, visit the USA Center registry website at www.rural-preparedness.org/hiker.
