Fort Bend County Issues Disaster Declaration

May 7, 2019

Fort Bend County judge KP George has issued a Disaster Declaration for flash flooding and potential Brazos River

flooding. A disaster declaration authorizes the County to take certain response and recovery actions, and is the first step which can ultimately result in State or Federal declarations.

“Our residents need to understand that this is a serious threat,” says Fort Bend County Judge KP George, “this flash flooding tonight is contributing to the Brazos River levels, which still pose a threat later this week. We are not out of the woods yet.”
