Weather Research Center is teaming up with Gulf Consultants to host Hurricanes & Industry
November 2001
HOUSTON – With Tropical Storm Allison making landfall on the Texas Coast, stalling in east Texas, and allowing phenomenal amounts of rain to flood the Houston area, the time for the Hurricanes & Industry conference in Houston in November is perfect. This conference is designed to bring together Houston’s many industries, government, utilities and meteorologists to discuss hurricanes. Plan to attend now.
The conference is designed for planners, engineers, utility officials and scientist to come together and discuss what happened during the 2001 Hurricane Season, what went right, what went wrong, how improvements can be made.
The conference will be held on Wednesday and Thursday November 7 and 8, 2001 at the Marriott West Loop. Since the conference is still in the planning stages, there is room for additional speakers and panelists. If you would like to participate please call J. Lane DuBois-Freeman at 713-529-3076 or email your ideas to HurricanesnIndustry@houston.rr.com. A website will be up soon at http://www.wxresearch.com/hurricane&industry.
