In order to approach the goal of visualizing floodplains, the floodplain map library (FPML) as a new hydraulic prediction tool has been developed for White Oak, one of the major urban watersheds in Houston. The similar methodology was used to develop the Brays Bayou FPML, which is currently...

We ran this model for a large region in Southeast Texas that has experienced repetitive flooding and includes the Houston-Galveston and Beaumont-Port Arthur regions seen on the map below. The model used historic damages from the National Flood Insurance Program along with several predictors of flood...
Do I live in a flood plain? You probably live in a floodplain if your home is near a body of water. While most people are concerned about rivers and streams, lakes and ponds can also cause flooding. If you don't know if you live in a floodplain, use the FEMA Flood Map Service Cen...
America's 1st choice for 2nd opinions. Flood Determinations, FEMA Flood Maps and Flood Insurance Disputes. Always Fast. Always Friendly. Always Guaranteed. Since 1995.
To show that wetlands can be engineered for flood control even in relatively flat areas, our case study was selected in a coastal plain area. This case study, which is shown in Figure 1, takes place in a 925-acre field station located at the University of Houston Coastal Center (UHCC),...
The process of creating a flood plain map model and the depth, velocity, and spatial distribution of flood waters depended on entering the Khazir River’s maximum flow rate, which in 2013 was 372.15 m3/s following three days of intense rain that resulted in the formation of water torrents ...
The integration of geodesign with vulnerability analysis offers a novel approach to landscape, urban, and environmental planning challenges. The interdisciplinary nature, engaged processes, and advanced spatial analytics in geodesign provide important co
the overall water estimation. Results show that water surfaces estimated by MOP are comparable with the simulated output for the duration of the flood event. Additionally, contributed data, such as Civil Air Patrol, although they may be geographically sparse, become an important data source when ...
and other issues. The project was guided by knowledge co-production and participant-observation approaches and included interviews with community members, collection of locality-specific data, GIS mapping to visualize key issues, development of an ArcGIS Story Map, and participation in public meetings...
