Welcome to the San Jacinto Regional Flood Planning Group (San Jacinto RFPG) Website!
Here, you’ll find the latest updates on the Regional Flood Plan for the San Jacinto Region (Region 6). This planning process, administered by the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), focuses on reducing flood risk and protecting our communities.
Stay informed and get involved as we work together to build a safer future.

Important Update
Beginning in 2026, regular RFPG meetings will shift to an in-person only format. While recent meetings have been offered in a hybrid format to broaden accessibility, recurring technical difficulties have hindered participation rather than enhanced it. The planning group determined that shifting to in-person meetings will help ensure clear communication and more effective engagement during these important discussions. Recordings and meeting minutes from those meetings will be available on the website afterwards.
Second Cycle Planning Underway
The San Jacinto Regional Flood Planning Group (SJRFPG) continues to advance through the second cycle of the Texas Water Development Board’s Regional Flood Planning Process. This cycle builds on the first to evaluate existing and future flood risks, identify needs, and recommend strategies to reduce flood hazards across Region 6.
The technical team is actively developing the Technical Memorandum, an interim planning document due in early 2026. The Memo will consolidate updated flood risk modeling, future conditions analysis, and identified needs, while also presenting draft recommendations for floodplain management standards, updated flood mitigation and management goals, and the review of ongoing and proposed Flood Management Evaluations (FMEs). Although survey input is now closed for consideration in the Technical Memo, planning is ongoing and surveys remain open for continued engagement and feedback.
The team is currently:
- Modeling future flood risks across northern, central (Harris County), and coastal zones using the latest rainfall data (Atlas 14), sea level rise considerations, and advanced modeling tools.
- Reviewing and recommending minimum floodplain management standards, with a mix of existing, updated, and newly proposed standards under consideration.
- Updating flood mitigation and management goals, building on the goals established in the first cycle and adding new second-cycle goals.
- Coordinating with sponsors of 18 Flood Management Evaluations (FMEs), reviewing each for feasibility and cost estimates, though none will move forward until approved by the SJRFPG.
Flood Infrastructure Fund Competition
The Texas Water Development Board is preparing for the next cycle of the Flood Infrastructure Fund (FIF), with the FY26–27 funding competition anticipated to open in early 2026. This program provides grants and loans to local governments and districts for flood mitigation projects and planning activities, including those identified through the regional flood planning process.
Thank You for Your Input!
We appreciate everyone who participated in the Regional Stakeholder Survey and Public Survey. Your feedback has been critical in identifying flood-prone areas, critical infrastructure at risk, and community priorities.
Two surveys were conducted:
- Regional Stakeholder Survey – For elected officials, floodplain managers, and others with flood-related responsibilities. This survey helped pinpoint ongoing projects, data needs, and flood risk hot spots.
- Public Survey – Open to all residents of Region 6. This survey collected valuable feedback and included an interactive map for participants to mark areas of known flooding.
Although the deadline to provide input for the Technical Memorandum has passed, surveys remain open. Your feedback will continue to inform the planning process alongside comments received through public meetings and our online portal.
Get Involved!
The success of the San Jacinto RFPG depends on input from the public. By engaging with local communities, the group ensures that the flood planning process is transparent and that it reflects the priorities and concerns of those most affected by flooding. A key component of the regional flood planning process is identifying community funding needs for the implementation of flood risk management and mitigation measures. Only items included in the plan will be eligible for state funding through the TWDB.
If you are interested in learning more about the flood planning process or want to get involved, there are several ways to connect with the us:
Stay informed by attending regular public meetings where flood planning decisions are discussed.
Share your thoughts on flood risk, proposed mitigation strategies, and the flood planning process through public comment opportunities.
Help shape the flood plan by answering questions about your experiences with flood risk, mitigation strategies, and your community’s floodplain management strategies.
