Household Survey Instrument, 2010: Wave 2

This collection archives instruments and planning materials related to the household survey for Wave 2 of the Galveston, TX Field Study conducted by the Hazard Reduction Recovery Center, as part of a National Science Foundation-funded project. The instrument was designed to gather specific types of information on the household (social) that occupied the housing unit at the time of the flooding. The survey instrument was designed to collect information on: (1) dislocation and reoccupancy of household members with basic information, (2) repair and rebuilding, (3) applications to disaster assistance programs (insurance, FEMA, SBA), (4) losses and sources of assistance, (5) mitigation behavior, (6) changes in jobs/employment, (7) health-related service use, (8) neighborhood and quality of life, and (9) additional household socioeconomic and demographics (e.g., highest education status, race/ethnicity, and annual income). The survey was designed to be conducted in-person. Based on the Wave 1 and Wave 2 household data, the center established a three-year period of panel studies of households and housing units to track recovery trajectories and adaptive learning.
