flag FEMA's flood risk maps underestimated the Texas Hill Country flood, causing over 120 deaths.

flag FEMA maps underestimated the risk of catastrophic flooding that hit Texas Hill Country on July 4th, leading to at least 120 deaths. flag The analysis revealed that areas designated as "special flood hazard areas" or in the river's floodway were especially vulnerable, with floodwaters extending beyond FEMA estimates. flag First Street, a risk modeling company, suggests that more than double the 8 million homes nationwide designated by FEMA as being in flood zones are actually at risk, due to outdated government models that do not account for extreme weather events.
