Description: The Rice Design Alliance (RDA) will host a civic forum on March 9, 2011 that focuses on hurricane planning and preparation in the Houston region. RDA’s spring lecture series, New Orleans: 5 Years After, concentrated on revitalization techniques and disaster prevention in the Crescent City. RDA hopes that similar lessons can be applied to the Houston/Galveston region in the wake of Hurricanes Rita and Ike. The forum will feature County Judge Ed Emmett, Galveston Mayor Joe Jaworski, and Rice environmental engineering professor Phil Bedient. Lonnie Hoogeboom, Director of Planning and Design at Houston Downtown Management District, and Rafael Longoria, ACSA Distinguished Professor of Architecture, University of Houston, will moderate the discussion.
