Hazard Mitigation Section Media Disaster Portal Get Assistance Search Hazard Mitigation Section The Hazard Mitigation Section supports Texas communities as they reduce their risk and increase their resilience. The Section is comprised of Plans and Grants.
The Section provides a comprehensive program to support local jurisdictions as they assess the risks they face, plan to mitigate them, and fund those plans to implement mitigation projects that reduce risk across the state. Plans help achieve the TDEM mission by partnering with local communities to provide training on how to develop mitigation plans and then reviewing plans prior to their submission to FEMA.
Both activities are key elements for understanding and reducing risk in communities. Grants allow our local partners to take the risk understanding they've developed through their mitigation planning process and provides funding to enable projects that reduce that risk. The Section also supports communities throughout the grants lifecycle to ensure that all funding is spent appropriately and that the project is successfully completed.
TDEM also works closely with the Texas General Land Office (GLO) and the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) to ensure that mitigation investments across the state complement each other as effectively as possible. The Texas Flood Information Clearinghouse is one example of that. Another example is encouraging local communities to apply for local hazard mitigation plan funding through the GLO.
The Texas State Administrative Plan provides more information on how TDEM administers the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. Separately, TDEM provides training to support our local partners in effectively managing these grants. TDEM offers procurement training available every month and encourages all sub-applicants to take it to ensure all HMGP projects in Texas are managed in accordance with federal procurement rules and regulations.
This helps reduce the risk that FEMA will disallow certain expenses that the subapplicant would then not be reimbursed for. 2023 Hazard Mitigation Assistance Program and Policy Guide Benefit Cost Analysis Policy Mitigation State and Disaster Specific Administrative Plans The Hazard Mitigation Section supports local planning in two ways. First, these personnel provide hazard mitigation training for local officials.
Second, they review local plans and provide feedback to help ensure that the plans are ultimately approved by FEMA.

Additionally, the Hazard Mitigation Section maintains the State Hazard Mitigation Plan (SHMP), which is a comprehensive assessment of the natural hazards Texas faces. The planning process brings together a wide range of stakeholders to comprehensively address risk. The 2023 SHMP, for example, includes input from different state partners, from the Texas General Land Office (GLO) to the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC).
TDEM prepares the SHMP in compliance with Public Law 106-390, Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 , as amended. A FEMA-approved State Hazard Mitigation Plan allows Texas to access 15% of the combined Public Assistance and Individual Assistance total disaster damages for hazard mitigation.
For example, if the President approves a disaster declaration for Texas and the total approved value for the Public Assistance and Individual Assistance programs is $100, Texas would also get $15 for hazard mitigation projects.

Read articleOn October 28, 2026, Houston Endowment committed $33.2 million over three years to nine Greater Houston community colleges, which enroll more than 195,000 students and graduate just 37 percent of starters, versus 67 percent at four-year schools. The money follows $500,000 planning grants to each college in 2025 and Texas House Bill 8, which ties state community college funding to credentials, transfers, and dual credit instead of enrollment. Here's how the initiative is built, why the plan-then-implement model matters, and what colleges and partners elsewhere can learn.
