This designation qualifies the area to receive funding through the DHS Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant program. This program was established to enhance the preparedness level of high-threat communities.
With support from the UASI and related homeland security grant programs, stakeholders in the Houston Urban area are engaged in a multi-disciplinary and multi-jurisdictional partnership to improve local capacity to prepare for, protect against, respond to and recover from catastrophic incidents.
The city will be applying for public safety and cyber security projects under this grant program. |
