The death and destruction of Hurricane Ike vividly pointed out the need to protect the storm surges of the hurricane in the Houston - Galveston region. And as badly as Ike, those who live and work in Galveston Bay have escaped. Prior to Ike 's attack, it was predicted that a 25 - foot storm would occur at Galveston Bay. We kill hundreds, kill thousands, unemployment, destroy the country's largest petrochemical plant, and cause a $ 10 billion hurricane that can destroy the most crowded port I am looking for a possible hurricane.

This terrible situation can be prevented. In order to protect our area we can apply best practices and existing technologies in the Netherlands and New Orleans. The concept of the coastal spine was used by the Dutch after the spike in 1953. They shortened their shore by combining obstacles and gates to prevent internal water from escaping. After Hurricane Katrina, they shared their approach with New Orleans, and today New Orleans has a major barrier to New Orleans to protect the city from storm surges. Here we use this knowledge as a solution to protect the Galveston - Houston area.

Texas A & M University in Galveston has the privilege to better understand how to cooperate with the Dutch agencies and other strong partners to better protect the people, the economy and the environment in the area from storm surges.

Please look at the background here. I think Ike Dike is primarily intended to protect Galveston and the port of Houston, but its aim is to extend to coastal areas. As Jim Blackburn pointed out, there are still a lot of problems with Ack Dick, which is why there are still legislation to study it in Congress. Let's see what will happen. I think they are complementary as to how other people are combining with the county's debt referendum, what should this be?

The old project was "Ike Dike", which was proposed after the 2008 Hurricane Ike. About 10 years after the last flood in Houston, the legend of this large-scale project highlights why flood infrastructure is becoming more important. I will discuss it. Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005 and brought about a loss of about 108 billion dollars. Meanwhile, Super Storm Sandy attacked New York and New Jersey in 2012 and caused a loss of about $ 75 billion with storm surge, rain and strong winds. . The same can be said of Hurricane Ike, who drowned Houston in 2008 and influenced Ick Dick.

Ike Dike is a proposed coastal barrier and it will protect Galveston Bay in Texas, USA when completed. This project will greatly improve existing Galveston revetment including gates that further protect Galveston, Bolivar Peninsula, Galveston Bay area, Houston. Barriers spread to Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula and are barriers to preventing all bays from entering the bay. This project is recommended by Dr. Bill Merrell of A & M University in Galveston, Texas. Ike Dike will be able to withstand the storm of about 10,000 years
