Floods Be Gone is a Global Shapers Houston initiative helping residents better understand local flood risk and prepare before severe weather strikes.
The project translates flood maps, insurance information, and preparedness guidance into clear, practical resources that help Houstonians understand changing risks and make informed decisions for their homes and families.
Through community outreach and trusted resources, Floods Be Gone expands access to useful flood information across Houston. Its digital presence is hosted within HOUaid, while the initiative maintains its own distinct mission and programming
We make complex flood information easier to understand so residents can better assess risks affecting their homes and neighborhoods.
We provide practical guidance that helps residents take meaningful preparedness steps before flooding and severe weather occur.
By connecting residents with reliable information and resources, we help Houston communities become better informed, prepared, and resilient.
