Researchers at Rice University have released preliminary findings on proposed FEMA flood maps. The northern parts of Harris County are expected to be most affected by the changes. Harris County Precinct 3 would see a significant increase in homes located in a floodplain under the new maps.

The increase would be more than 100 percent, according to the researchers. Further details on the proposed flood maps and their potential impact are available from the source, including specific information on the affected areas and the implications of the changes.
