Find your home's Flood Risk

There are 2 projects affecting flooding along South Mayde Creek - detention basins along SH-99 to keep run-off flows from entering South Mayde Creek during severe rain events, and a by-pass channel near the Greenhouse Road bridge.  Both projects appear to be moving forward, despite a reduction in expected funding through the Texas General Land Office. Learn more about this political debate, as well as the engineering projects that have been proposed by the Harris County Flood Control District for more than 10 years. 

In 2019, the Texas Legislature launched a regional and statewide flood planning effort to develop flood plans, updated every five years. The first regional plan was submitted in 2023, and planning is now underway for the second plan due in 2028.

As part of this planning process, the SJRFGP is conducting open meetings in 2026 with residents in each the planning group's 10 regions. This is an important exercise for residents who are prone to flooding - as they will make SJRFPG aware of these issus for the upcoming 2028 plan.

The primary function of the Flood Warning System is to transmit rainfall and bayou/stream level data for use by you and by government officials in taking steps to protect the public. The information received is collected and analyzed by the Flood Control District also to develop post-flood reports.
