2024 State Flood Plan

The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) adopted Texas' inaugural 2024 State Flood Plan on August 15th, 2024, to be delivered to the Legislature by September 1, 2024. The regional and state flood planning processes recur in five-year cycles.

The 2024 State Flood Plan represents Texas' first attempt to perform comprehensive planning to reduce flood risk and take a broad look at flood hazards across the state. A tremendous amount of information was generated by the 15 Regional Flood Planning Groups (RFPG) through the efforts of more than 350 planning group members, their sponsors, and technical consultants, who held over 550 public meetings during the historic first cycle of regional flood planning.
