(TNS) – To protect itself from the next major hurricane, Texas will have to build storm-surge barriers, shore up wetlands, buy out residents who live in vulnerable areas, rethink development plans and raise the first floors of existing buildings, suggests a sweeping new report prepared for Gov. Greg Abbott and released Thursday afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new recommendations come from Abbott’s Commission to Rebuild Texas, led by Texas A&M Chancellor John Sharp. In September 2017, Abbott charged Sharp with the task of rebuilding Texas “ahead of schedule, under budget and with a friendly smile.”<\/p>\n

The report calls Hurricane Harvey a warning that should not be ignored.\u00a0 “The enormous toll on individuals, businesses and public infrastructure should provide a wake-up call underlining the urgent need to ‘future-proof’ the Gulf Coast – and indeed all of Texas – against future disasters,” the study says.\u00a0 The investigation, based on hundreds of hours of interviews and dozens of scientific papers, is comprehensive in its scope, covering\u00a0 issues as broad as the need to streamline emergency response and as specific as the need to improve oversight and availability of contractors.<\/p>\n
