Flooding has long been one of the most devastating natural hazards in Harris County, Texas. This workshop presents topics related to Harris County’s next generation flood mapping (MAAPNext) that relies on the use of updated historical data and advanced methodologies and modeling techniques to create innovative floodplain maps for risk assessments, floodplain management, and increased public awareness.
The session is tailored for civil and environmental engineers, urban planners, floodplain managers, and others involved in flood risk management and infrastructure development. Attendees will gain hands-on knowledge of how MAAPNext will impact all civil engineering projects, including drainage analysis and how it reshapes the design criteria for civil engineers, particularly for those involved in hydrology and hydraulics.
Attendees will also receive critical insights into how the FEMA’s new flood maps will help communities prepare for and respond to flood events.
Flood Risk Mitigation Begins with Knowledge. Help us build a safer, more resilient Harris County.
