Authors: Greg Brown, Corey Baker

The City of New Braunfels, Texas is situated near the Guadalupe and Comal rivers which pose a continual threat of flooding. In 2016, the City’s GIS Department started utilizing ArcGIS Solutions for Flood to empower various departments and decision makers to help them understand how potential flood events will impact their community. Utilizing data analysis and enterprise spatial technology has provided the City a better way to prepare for, mitigate, and respond to flood events.
