Houston Voters Against Flooding is a non-partisan political action committee dedicated to
making flooding a front burner political issue in the Houston area by increasing
awareness, organizing voters, and by proposing solutions to
this serious problem.
We do not believe that enough
is being done to address the concerns of flood victims and to
address the problem on a larger scale.
