Hurricane Harvey, a Category 4 storm that devastated the Texas coast in August 2017, set records in every category from rainfall to historic damage. Despite flooding Texas with 19 trillion gallons of water and displacing nearly 780,000 people, this catastrophic event encouraged developmental improvements and engineering innovations. Following the storm, Walter P Moore's Water Resources and Application Development teams partnered to create a Floodplain Elevation Tool. This dynamic, interactive tool navigates a web-based map while providing flood elevations and stream flood profiles within the watersheds of Harris County and the city of Houston. It also has tremendous implications for the residents of Harris County, allowing them to easily access flood data and evaluate whether their properties lie within the floodplain.
