Houston Flood Risk Data Digitization and Analysis
Sector: Forest Products and Packaging • Location: Houston, Texas, United States
Source: University of Houston
University of Houston engineers developed an AI-driven framework to extract and georeference historical Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), converting paper flood maps into high-accuracy digital datasets. This allows tracking of flood risk changes over time in the Houston area to inform development, infrastructure, and disaster preparedness decisions.
