Description

Following Hurricane Harvey, Harris County officials are considering asking taxpayers for additional funding to complete numerous flood control projects. Despite public support for stronger regulations on development in flood-prone areas, over 65,000 new properties have been built within flood zones across several counties. The fragmented approach to floodplain management and lack of statewide flood building codes have raised concerns about community risk and the need for more coherent regional rules.
