Update on Map Modernization Program

Executive Summary

FEMA started the Map Modernization Project in 2004 for all National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) participating counties.  The city has participated with funding in order to expand the scope to include Oyster Creek and Fort Bend County has provided additional funding to conduct a revised Hydraulic and Hydrologic study for the Brazos River.  The analysis of both drainage systems are underway and nearing completion. 

 

Staff would like to present the latest information regarding the anticipated schedule and outcome from the information that we have received to date in regards to the raising of the levee heights in and around Sugar Land as well as the latest information that we have from FEMA.
