Background and Discussion:
In 1973 Harris County created the original Flood Control Task Force to help address flooding issues, and in 2020 Harris County Commissioners Court reconstituted the group into the Community Flood Resilience Task Force (CFRTF), to bring more community voice into those efforts. The 17 members of the CFRTF serve in an advisory capacity to the Infrastructure Resilience Team (IRT) and Commissioners Court to promote collaboration among stakeholders and encourage equitable resilience planning efforts and flood resilience projects. Five (5) members of the CFRTF are appointed by Commissioners Court and they serve as the Selection Committee for and appoint the remaining 12 members of the CFRTF.
