Drainage Forum: The Allison Experience
Tropical Storm Allison hit Houston in June 2001 with great force. The deadly storm dropped 30-40 inches of rain on coastal Texas and Louisiana, hitting Houston with 19.58 inches of rain in a 24-hour period. The storm killed 41 people in six states and caused $5 billion in damage. The University of Houston alone suffered $125 million in damage. This program examines the force of the storm, how Houstons emergency management faired, and what can be done to better prepare this city and any city for a similar storm in the future.   The University of Houston Cullen College of Engineering presents a Drainage Engineering Forum that brings together experts from the professional engineering community, weather experts, and federal and local agencies to discuss the impact and lessons learned from the Tropical Storm Allison.
