At the symposium, emergency managers listened to 17 research proposals from scholars hailing from a wide range of institutions. The emergency managers chose to fund 10 proposals that scored the best in terms of the value to the field of emergency management, impact on the public, feasibility of implementation, clarity of language, and scalability across jurisdictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI look forward to working with local and state officials as well as leaders in science and academics to operationalize the important projects presented at this symposium,\u201d said Nim Kidd, chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management. \u201cI thank the researchers whose work, knowledge, and innovation will benefit Texans in the years to come, and I am grateful for the expertise provided by emergency management professionals who scored these proposals.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-researchers-in-or-affiliated-with-the-texas-a-m-school-of-architecture-who-are-involved-in-the-funded-proposals-include\">Researchers in or affiliated with the Texas A&amp;M School of Architecture who are involved in the funded proposals include:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arch.tamu.edu\/staff\/alexander-abuabara\/\">Alexander Abuabara<\/a>, postdoctoral research associate with the Department of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning (LAUP) and the Hazard Reduction and Recovery Center (HRRC);<\/li><li>David Bierling, HRRC-affiliated senior research scientist at the Texas Transportation Institute;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arch.tamu.edu\/staff\/matt-malecha\/\">Matthew Malecha<\/a>, HRRC core faculty and instructional assistant professor of urban planning;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arch.tamu.edu\/staff\/jaimie-hicks-masterson\/\">Jamie Hicks Masterson<\/a>, HRRC core faculty and director, Texas Target Communities;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arch.tamu.edu\/staff\/michelle-annette-meyer\/\">Michelle Meyer<\/a>, director of the HRRC;<\/li><li>Ali Mostafavi, HRRC faculty fellow and associate professor of civil and environmental engineering; &nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arch.tamu.edu\/staff\/walter-gillis-peacock\/\">Walter Gillis Peacock<\/a>, senior HRRC fellow and professor of urban planning;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arch.tamu.edu\/staff\/jordan-carlee-smith\/\">J.
