The Flood Control District and FEMA are sharing revised preliminary floodplain maps in the Sims Bayou Watershed in order to help officials and residents identify their flood risks and use that information to make decisions about buying flood insurance and any future development. These Flood Insurance Rate Maps include the map revisions that became effective in May 2016.

To share this information, a public Open House is scheduled for interested citizens to obtain more information about the proposed changes.

Tuesday, May 16, 2017
3:00 – 7:00 p.m.
