Document hurricane window-protection readiness at a resident's own home on the corridor, home 1, resident homes along the US Highway 181 corridor, Portland, TX 78374, and near Cove Park, Ingleside, TX 78362 (own-home) (2026-07-27)
This home's windows and doors have never been checked against hurricane-season readiness, and this bay-facing part of the Coastal Bend sees a real storm-surge and wind risk every season. Standard: FEMA floodplain and coastal storm-surge siting screen, applied here to San Patricio County's Coastal Bend hurricane-season storm-surge and heavy-rain drainage conditions around Portland and Ingleside. SDG 11.5 disaster resilience. Proof: homeowner/resident-permission record + document-only photo inventory + protection-status record + GPS + ranked follow-on note Method (FEMA floodplain and coastal storm-surge siting screen, applied here to San Patricio County's Coastal Bend hurricane-season storm-surge and heavy-rain drainage conditions around Portland and Ingleside. SDG 11.5 disaster resilience.): 1. 1. Walk the home's exterior with the resident and photograph each window and door opening as found. 2. 2. Note whether each opening has a hurricane-rated shutter, panel, or impact-rated glazing, and photograph the frame's anchor points if visible. 3. 3. Ask the resident which windows they consider most exposed to wind-driven rain and record their answer. 4. 4. Record a ranked follow-on note naming each unprotected opening for the shutter-track install job. Done when: homeowner/resident-permission record + document-only photo inventory + protection-status record + GPS + ranked follow-on note
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: FEMA floodplain + green-infrastructure siting screen
Bring
- GPS phone
- tape/ruler for deposition depth
- metals field kit (if sediment screen in scope)
- boots + gloves
- camera
Steps
- 1. Confirm post-event conditions are safe; navigate to the site; record GPS.
- 2. Photograph deposited sediment / affected area.
- 3. Measure deposition depth at representative points.
- 4. If a sediment contaminant screen is in scope, run the metals field kit and record values.
- 5. Note debris, hazards, and the extent (sketch).
- 6. Enter depth, any analytes, hazard notes, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.
If it does not match the plan
- Unstable ground / submerged debris / contaminated water -> document from safe footing; do not enter.
- Elevated metals in deposited sediment -> flag before any reuse; recommend lab confirm.
What counts as done
- Deposition depth recorded at representative points
- Metals screen recorded (if in scope)
- Debris/hazard note + extent sketch
- GPS waypoint + timestamped photos
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
