Harris County Plans Billboard Campaign To Push Flood Insurance After Harvey

HOUSTON (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — Houston-area officials are planning a campaign to put up two dozen billboards encouraging residents to buy flood insurance after Hurricane Harvey.
The Harris County Flood Control District estimates more than 80 percent of the county’s 1.4 million buildings lacked flood insurance when the storm devastated the region.
