Beaumont in southeast Texas sits in one of the most hurricane-prone corridors in the nation. Harvey in 2017 dropped record rainfall across the Golden Triangle region with some areas receiving over 60 inches. The Neches River and numerous bayous create catastrophic flooding risk during major storm events. The city hosts massive petrochemical refinery infrastructure along the river creating industrial hazmat risk that compounds hurricane vulnerability significantly.
