Flood Risk Recommendations

Based on the property's flood risk profile, here are specific action items to consider.

  • This property is in a high-risk flood zone. Flood insurance is required for mortgages.
  • Consider flood mitigation measures like elevated utilities and flood vents.
  • Review the interactive flood simulator to understand how different rainfall events could affect this property.
  • Contact Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) for drainage projects and flood information.
  • Simulation shows flooding at current water level - review property drainage and consider mitigation.
