The Texas Flood Registry is a joint venture between Rice University and local public health organizations. Initially created in response to Hurricane Harvey, the registry collects health, location, and exposure information from people living in areas affected by major storms. This information helps to identify health trends and risks associated with major storms and inform planning for future natural disasters.
The Texas Flood Registry is seeking a detail-oriented Web/Software Developer to join our team and deploy new surveys in the event of severe flooding during the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season. The work can be done remotely and with flexible hours.
