Big shout out to our partners at West Street Recovery and NAC for their incredible win yesterday. Because of their work and dedication, Houston city council passed an amendment to increase the Local Drainage Project funding by a whopping $20 million! This additional funding will positively impact the lives of thousands of residents whose homes have been affected by flooding during natural disasters, as well as those who experience flooding during random heavy rains. We are absolutely delighted to work alongside them. Once more, congratulations on this accomplishment!

When a disaster hits, it can be stressful to think about worst case scenarios.

From alerts and warnings, to what you should put in an emergency kit, to where you can access free legal aid, this glossary covers key things to know during three distinct phases of a disaster: What you need to know to prepare, how government agencies respond to crisis, and resources to help you recover.
