Disaster Preparedness and Lessons learned

Jeff Lindner

Director Hydrologic Operations Division/Meteorologist

Harris County Flood Control District

Joining the Harris County Flood Control District in 2003 as the District’s first meteorologist is one of many precedents set by Jeff Lindner. In his primary role as Director of the Hydrologic Operations Division and Harris County meteorologist, Jeff implements regular communication with multiple agencies, elected officials, and media partners during episodes of severe weather. Jeff oversees the operation of the District’s flood operations, the flood warning system, and flood forecasting efforts. Jeff holds a Bachelor of Science degree in meteorology from Texas A&M University. He is a prominent figure on the topic of weather forecasting, weather impacts, and emergency management activations for county government during adverse weather conditions. Lindner, who became widely known for his constant reporting and calm demeanor during Hurricane Harvey, served as a memorable personality for millions of residents in the City of Houston, Harris County, and the southeast Texas region. He has been recognized by numerous organizations including the American Meteorological Society, the City of Houston, several local, state, and federal organizations for his efforts in weather communication and public safety.
