Creating a more resilient flood plan for the state of Texas

Texas Water Development Board Flood Risk Reduction

As one of the largest and most populous states, Texas is subject to a unique set of challenges in the face of severe weather events that cause flooding. To understand and better protect the state from the impact of flood risks, the Texas Water Development Board partnered with us to support the creation of a statewide flood plan.

We are developing floodplain models and mapping for regions across Texas, which will inform the statewide flood plan. The plans will include riverine model development, hydrologic and hydraulic assessments, and hazard mapping. By understanding the factors that impact each region, taking into account the varied terrain across the state, we can efficiently provide detailed insights to enhance flood risk planning. Our advanced modeling technologies are providing a more detailed picture of potential flooding scenarios, allowing jurisdictions to develop more targeted response plans.

With climate change driving more severe weather events and sea level rise, this coordinated, and data-driven approach, offers the potential to save lives and protect against significant financial loss.
