Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request by the Flood Control District for approval to submit an application to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for grant funds in the amount of $108,000, with no required match, for the FY 2024 Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) Program (Project ID Z100-00-00-P013, Countywide).
end
Background and Discussion:
The Harris County Flood Control District has been a LOMR Review partner with FEMA since 2010. Each year, we apply for grant funding in order that we may process LOMR and CLOMR requests submitted for areas within Harris County. This year we are requesting $108,000 in federal funding with no required local match.
Expected Impact:
The Flood Control District would be allowed to apply for grant funding to continue reviewing LOMRs and CLOMRs for another year.
Alternative Options:
The alternative would be that when current funding is exhausted, the LOMR Review program would be suspended and LOMRs and CLOMRs in Harris County would be processed by the FEMA PTS contractors who do not have the benefits of our local knowledge of Harris County flood hazards, take longer to review cases on average, and are not accountable to Harris County leadership.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
_ Transportation

_ Environment
_ Governance and Customer Service
