Flood toy for Galveston, Texas

Galveston flood toy and water map

Use this Galveston, Texas flood toy to inspect Galveston Bay, the seawall corridor, and low ground across the barrier island. The page opens directly on Galveston instead of making you pan from the national view.

What you can do

• Open a Galveston-centered map instead of manually panning across the U.S.
• Watch animated water fill low ground around Galveston Bay, the seawall corridor, and low ground across the barrier island.
• Start with a 3.0m setup, then adjust the slider for milder or more extreme water levels.
• Copy a permalink for the exact Galveston scenario you want to share.

How to use it

1. Start with the default Galveston map view and pan toward the shoreline, river, or neighborhood you care about.
2. Use the slider to raise the water and compare milder or more extreme scenarios.
3. Click a specific point on the map for a location-based risk sample, then copy the permalink if you want the same view later.

Model notes

Galveston sits on a narrow barrier island with Gulf exposure on one side and bay on the other — one of the most storm-surge-vulnerable cities in the U.S. FloodMap USA is a screening tool for exploration and comparison, not a substitute for surveys, FEMA products, insurance decisions, or emergency instructions.
