Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) and other agencies in Texas utilize Social Vulnerability Indices (SVIs) for a variety of flood risk management purposes including,<\/span><\/p>

but not limited to, flood planning and allocation of flood mitigation funding. There are two<\/span><\/p>

widely available sources of SVIs: first, the Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI) from the<\/span><\/p>

Hazards and Vulnerability Institute at the University of South Carolina; second, the SVI<\/span><\/p>

created by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry at the Centers for<\/span><\/p>

Disease Control (CDC). Both are primarily used at the census tract scale and are<\/span><\/p>

developed across the geographic domain of the United States. SoVI and SVI are<\/span><\/p>

agnostic to the type of hazard for which social vulnerability is being modeled. Although<\/span><\/p>

these existing SVIs have a wide range of applicable uses, they are customized neither<\/span><\/p>

for flood hazard, nor for Texas.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>", "extent":[[-106.20786615007995,-91.70545175007993],[20.35143380948001,42.34498505948005]], "url":"https://gis2.twdb.texas.gov/server/rest/services/OOP_FP_FloodPlanningHub/Texas_Flood_Social_Vulnerability_Index/MapServer" }
