The Gulf Research Program and Policy and Global Affairs division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine partnered on a pilot project called Community Engagement in Southeast Texas (CEST) to better understand the role that community engagement can play in enhancing "flood resilience" - the ability to plan and prepare for, respond to, and more successfully adapt to flooding. As part of the project, CEST convened a diverse group of community stakeholders for a 2-day workshop in Houston, TX, on April 26-27, 2023. The purpose of the workshop was to bridge community knowledge (like the lived experiences of flood survivors) and CEST knowledge (like data from the CEST discussions and survey) with knowledge from other relevant stakeholders to gain a more comprehensive understanding of flooding in NE Houston. The objectives of the workshop were to identify gaps and possible actions to fill gaps, while providing workshop attendees with opportunities to build relationships for future collaboration on enhancing flood resilience. The workshop agenda covered several topics - environmental hazards, mental health, drainage and green infrastructure, and community resilience hubs - through panel and breakout sessions.
