Disruption to local business and economic activity before full
recovery
• Evacuation Period: Temporary shutdown of most businesses
• Recovery Period: Transitory loss of operational facilities and
infrastructure, customer base, and displaced workforce
Permanent loss of local businesses and residents

The median age is remarkably high at 49, compared to 35 for Nueces
County• Residents aged 60 years and older (33%) and Winter Texans may be less likely
to return
More than one in five housing units are mobile homes that were more likely
to receive wind damage
A large portion of businesses are home-based, without an office
75% of households have insurance coverage, but the percentage of
households applying for FEMA Individual Assistance in the wake of Harvey
is among the highest
Drawing on local officials’ estimates and damage assessments, the area
sustained an average loss of 26% in the total value of residential and
business properties

Communities have concentration in different sectors
• Oil & gas and construction are concentrated in Rockport, and farming is
relatively large in Fulton
• A more diverse economy is more resilient in the context of rapid recovery
• Export industries do not rely on the local market
Retail and hospitality (accommodation and restaurants) make up at
last one in three business establishments
• These businesses depend on the local market, so they can’t fully recover
without fully restoring the community

3 Phases:
• Direct Impact (immediate): Loss of economic activity and capital
• Recovery (transitory): Rebuilding efforts take effect
• New Normal (equilibrium): Long-run occurs years later
Model Assumptions:
• All industries shut down when the area was hit
• Immediate loss of residential and nonresidential capital stock (values correspond
to observed damages of homes and capital investment required for business
operations)
• Separate capacity (resources) constraints for local and regional economies
• Three alternative speeds in restoring businesses and residential and
nonresidential capital losses (100%; 25%; 10% per year)
Recovery ScenariosSimulations of direct impact and response over time with a regional economic model

Typical Recovery PathsCumulative losses of business sales will double if recovery lasts for 4 years instead of one year, and double again if recovery lasts for 10 years instead of 4 years …
