Citizen Advocacy · Galveston, Texas
Build the Galveston Ring Barrier Before the Next Hurricane
Protect Galveston Now is a citizen-led movement supporting construction of the Galveston Ring Barrier. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has developed a plan to help protect our island from catastrophic storm surge. Our mission is to educate the public, answer questions, and build the citizen momentum needed to move this essential project forward.
Why We're Here
Galveston Cannot Afford to Wait
The Galveston Ring Barrier is an essential part of protecting our community from catastrophic hurricane storm surge. Yet under the present plan, construction could still be decades away.
Protect Galveston Now is bringing citizens together to learn about the Ring Barrier, understand why it matters, and build the public momentum needed to move it forward.
Galveston has waited long enough. The time to prepare is before the next major hurricane—not afterward.
