Answer:

 

In response to the devastation, the Red Cross immediately stepped in to provide medical aid to survivors. People from all over Texas donated food and supplies to the people of Galveston. The governor of Texas, Joseph D. Sayers, set up committees to collect funds to rebuild the city, and the Texas state legislature allowed the city to keep property tax revenues to use for rebuilding. When it came to rebuilding, the city reconsidered its government structure and it brought in experts in city planning and new technologies to help it rebuild. In an effort to protect it from further hurricane damage, the city built a 17-foot sea wall on the Gulf Coast side of the city and raised the city’s elevation 8 feet by importing sand.

"<span>The hurricane appears to have started as an atmospheric trough from West Africa, causing unsettled weather in the Caribbean, and emerging into the Florida Straits as a tropical storm on September 5. Owing to contradictory forecasts, the people of Galveston felt no alarm until the official hurricane warning of September 7. Next morning a storm surge of 15 ft (4.6 m) washed over the long, flat island-city which was only 8 ft (2.4 m) above sea level, knocking buildings off their foundations and destroying over 3,600 homes."</span>
