Flooding is a constant threat in Harris County, and the SAFER Study, a joint initiative by the Harris County Flood Control District and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, aims to develop long-term, large-scale flood risk reduction strategies. This multi-year study will assess 12 major watersheds, including Brays Bayou, Buffalo Bayou, and Cypress Creek, to deliver data-driven, community-focused solutions.

Public input is critical. Whether you’ve faced flooding or simply care about the county’s future, this is your chance to help shape real, lasting infrastructure improvements.

How You Can Participate

Stop by any of these public meetings to ask questions, view exhibits, and talk directly with the SAFER Study team. Materials and interpreters will be available in Spanish, Vietnamese, and Mandarin.
