Answer 2

The aftermath of the 1900 storm resulted in a change in the government of Galveston by creating a commission form of government. This new form of government was created to help the city rebuild and manage the recovery process. The commission was made up of five members, each of whom was appointed by the governor of Texas. The commission was responsible for overseeing the rebuilding of the city, including the construction of a seawall and the raising of the city's grade. The commission also had the power to levy taxes and issue bonds to finance the rebuilding efforts. The commission form of government remained in place until the city adopted a new charter in 1912.
