FEMA has released draft versions of its updated flood maps for portions of the Greater Houston area, marking an important step forward after several years of delays. These drafts begin a multi-stage public review process, with more consumer-friendly viewing tools expected in the coming months.
The Harris County Flood Control District has created an easy-to-use tool where you can enter an address and compare current floodplain maps with the proposed updates. You can access it at www.hcfcd.org/MAAPnext.
