Episode Details

Austin’s historic Memorial Day floods sparked a 45-year fight against flooding—and now, with the bold “Rain to River” plan, the city is shifting from damage control to proactive prevention. This decade-long strategy includes 24 smart, community-driven solutions—from big projects to quick fixes—designed to protect all neighborhoods, especially those historically overlooked. Built with thousands of public comments and visual clarity, the plan replaces jargon-heavy reports with accessible, transparent tools like a public progress dashboard. Funded through utility charges and grants, it’s Austin’s most ambitious flood defense yet—where prevention meets people.
