Houston Mayor Sylvester (first from left) discussed the findings of the Hurricane Harvey Registry during a press conference held at City Hall on February 21, 2019.

A report released Thursday found people who suffered damages to their homes during Hurricane Harvey are likely to experience mental health difficulties, such as intrusive or unintended thoughts about the storm.

That’s one of the main takeaways from the Hurricane Harvey Registry, which was launched in April 2018 and so far has surveyed more than 13,000 residents in Greater Houston.
