Relating to creating a grant program administered by the Texas Division of Emergency Management.

HB 94 creates the Texas Division of Emergency Management Hill Country 2025 Flood Response Grant Program to provide funding to local governments (such as cities, counties, and special districts) in Texas. The bill establishes a grant program for local governments to purchase interoperable emergency communication equipment (like radios that work across different agencies), build communication infrastructure, and train staff on its use during emergencies. To qualify, applicants must submit proposals and meet Division-established rules, with grants requiring recipients to adopt standardized incident command procedures. The program is specifically designed to improve coordination among first responders during flood events in the Hill Country region.
