Flood Technical Advisory Group (FTAG)
The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) established a Flood Technical Advisory Group (FTAG) to provide technical advice related to the TWDB�s new statewide flood science and planning efforts in early 2020. The purpose of the group is to provide TWDB with outside technical expertise as a resource generally related to regional flood planning, data collection, mapping, and modeling, and other flood-related topics as needed.

- Duke Altman, Doucet & Associates
- Curtis Beitel, Walker Partners, LLC
