With the continued risk of flooding in Southeast Texas, Lamar University and the University of Texas at Austin are working together to help the region improve its resiliency during large-scale flooding events.

With improved data availability, we will help Southeast Texas plan for, predict, and respond to floods through:

• developing a wide-area flood plan for Southeast Texas
• creating a regional geodatabase
• developing flood modeling of future storms for mitigation decisions 
• developing flood mapping during responses
