Sen. Perry files legislation for state flood plan

Sen. Charles Perry filed three bills Tuesday, Jan. 22, to begin the first steps in creating a statewide flood plan, which will allow a path to fund flood mitigation projects, according to a release from his office.

“We live in a big state, we’ve had big disasters and we need a big response to address flooding in Texas,” Perry stated in the release. “If the legislature passes the first ever statewide flood plan, it will positively affect every community across Texas and save lives.”
