He’ll discuss the key weather-related threats facing Harris County, how the county is addressing these risks, and what you can do to stay safe and ready. He will also share updates on a cutting-edge real-time flood forecast system currently in development, along with actionable guidance on how to prepare for and respond to severe weather events.
