Floodplain Management Plan Update-Stakeholder Meeting #3 | City of Fort Worth

The City of Fort Worth held its third stakeholder meeting on July 22, 2026, to update the Floodplain Management Plan (FMP). The meeting focused on reviewing technical hazard assessments, including GIS floodplain mapping and economic loss estimates totaling $2.2 billion for 3,412 buildings at 100-year flood risk. Stakeholders discussed prioritizing flood risk areas, updating the action plan, and improving public communication strategies such as flood risk signage in parks and enhanced notification systems like Ready Fort Worth. The city emphasized coordination with adjacent communities and agencies, grant funding strategies for flood mitigation projects, and the integration of new technologies including AI for data summarization and outreach. The plan will guide future budgeting and project prioritization, with a final public meeting and FEMA submission planned before city council adoption. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were reported, but grant opportunities and funding strategies were highlighted as key future activities.
