Today, I announced nearly $1 million in congressional funding for a Harris County Flood Control District project to improve detention at Keegans Bayou. Glad to work with HCFCD, Office of Commissioner Lesley Briones, Precinct 4, and Texas General Land Office on this impactful project for #TX07!

Chief Partnership & Program Officer, Scott Elmer, attended the Greater Tomball Chamber of Commerce Government & Legislative Affairs Committee to provide updates on projects in the area.

In Harris County, flooding is our #1 natural disaster. We experience a major flood every two years, and each time our communities come together to rebuild. MAAPnext is the next step towards building a more resilient Harris County. Learn at:maapnext.org

Seven years ago, Hurricane Harvey forever changed Harris County. But while Harvey left a mark on our community, but it also ignited a shared commitment to reducing flood risks and building resilience across our region.

After Hurricane Harvey, we’ve removed 1,400 storm-damaged trees, 135,670 cubic yards of debris, and invested $9.2 million in storm debris removal. These efforts, particularly in 2018, reflect our ongoing commitment to restoring and protecting our community.

Since Hurricane Harvey, we've removed an incredible 4.8 million cubic yards of sediment from channels across Harris County—equivalent to about 343,000 dump truck loads! 🚛 These restoration efforts are crucial to keep our waterways clear and reducing the risk of flooding.
