Tell Us Your Flooding Story. Every Story Matters.

Help us tell the story of flooding in our community—and build a safer future for generations to come.

League City is leading the Lower Clear Creek and Dickinson Bayou Regional Watershed Feasibility Study (LCCDB) in partnership with a consortium of funding partners, planning partners and stakeholders. This is an important opportunity to document the flooding our community has experienced and help communicate its real-life impacts to the federal government. Key planning partners involved with this feasibility study:

• Galveston County
• Office of Harris County Commissioner Precinct Two, Adrian Garcia with the Harris County Flood Control District
• City of Friendswood
• Texas Water Development Board
• Dickinson Bayou Watershed Steering Committee
• U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Headquarters & Assistant Secretary’s Office of the Army for Civil Works (ASA(CW))

We need your help. We need your voice. We need your story.

If you have experienced flooding, we want to hear from you. Tell us about the bad, the worse, and even the unthinkable. Whether your home flooded once or multiple times, your business suffered damage, your neighborhood was cut off, or you witnessed the devastating effects of a major storm, your experience matters.

Please share your personal stories, testimonials, and photos of flood damage—whether they show the aftermath or the damage before and after a flood. If possible, drop a pin on a map to show exactly where the flooding occurred. Details about the location, depth of water, timing, damage, and how flooding affected your family, home, business, or daily life can make a meaningful difference.

Why does your story matter?

An initial study was submitted to Congress in 2022 and authorized in the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2022. This established a framework for moving the effort forward, . To push the project forward in a timely manner, League City has taken the lead as non-federal sponsor on a locally funded Section 203 Feasibility Study.

Through this feasibility study, League City is working to advance the process and build the information needed to pursue federal funding for Pre-Construction Engineering and Design (PED) as well as Construction. Our goal is to get Congressional appropriation for PED as part of the WRDA 2030 cycle.

But we cannot tell the full story of flooding in our watershed without the people who have lived through it.

Your photos provide evidence. Your location pins help identify where flooding happens. Your words explain what the numbers alone cannot: the fear of watching water rise, the loss of treasured belongings, the cost of rebuilding, the disruption to everyday life, and the worry that the next storm could bring it all back. These are regional problems that require regional input and regional support.

This is more than a study. It is our community’s opportunity to be heard.
