Hurricane Harvey made landfall on August 25, 2017 near Corpus Christi, Texas. Over the next five days the storm devastated the Texas coast, dropping over 36 inches of rain over 2500 sq mi area and causing unprecedented levels of damage. Harvey is likely the costliest storm in U.S. history, exceeding Hurricane Katrina. Life-threatening flooding in the City of Houston and surrounding areas caught the world’s attention.

SSPEED & IDRT Present
HEC-RAS 2D Workshop
Wednesday, February 1, 2023
8 am - 5:00 pm
The Ion - 4201 Main St, Houston, TX 77002
The SSPEED Center, in partnership with the Institute for a Disaster Resilient Texas (IDRT), is hosting a one-day workshop at the Ion in Houston on modeling using 2D HEC-RAS. The workshop intends to provide attendees with a general overview of the newly released hydraulic model and important steps on how to develop and run HEC-RAS 2D for various floodplain applications.
