Harris County commissioners will consider and potentially take action on over 300 agenda items Feb. 12, including approval of an interlocal agreement for a mental health mapping project in Precinct 4 and a progress update on a countywide flood mapping system.
The big picture
Harris County Flood Control District officials will provide an update to commissioners on the progress and next steps of the MAAPNext project. The project is a collaborative effort with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which is also funding the project, and HCFCD to create up-to-date hydrology and flood maps to gauge current and future flooding risks across the county.
As previously reported by Community Impact, the Modeling, Assessment and Awareness Project kicked off in 2019 and aims to provide maps that are separate from the FEMA floodplain maps, which have historically been used by county officials.
