League City in Galveston County sits between Houston and Galveston in a zone of serious hurricane and storm surge vulnerability. Ike in 2008 caused catastrophic surge flooding across League City and surrounding Galveston County communities. The city hosts NASA's Johnson Space Center just north in Clear Lake City creating critical national space program emergency planning considerations. The flat low-lying terrain provides no protection from Gulf hurricane storm surge.
