Document hurricane window protection readiness at a resident's own home, home 3, resident homes in Port Lavaca, TX 77979 (own-home) (2026-07-29)
This home's windows and doors have never been checked against hurricane season readiness, and this bay facing part of the Texas mid coast sees a real storm surge and wind risk every season. Standard: FEMA floodplain and coastal storm surge siting screen, applied here to Calhoun County's Coastal Bend hurricane season storm surge and heavy rain drainage conditions around Port Lavaca, Texas, on Lavaca Bay and Matagorda Bay. SDG 11.5 disaster resilience. Proof: homeowner or resident permission record plus document only photo inventory plus protection status record plus GPS plus ranked follow on note Method (FEMA floodplain and coastal storm surge siting screen, applied here to Calhoun County's Coastal Bend hurricane season storm surge and heavy rain drainage conditions around Port Lavaca, Texas, on Lavaca Bay and Matagorda Bay. 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 or resident permission record plus document only photo inventory plus protection status record plus GPS plus 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.
