We would also provide aid to others after we have handled our own <br />jurisdiction. <br />This agreement is part of the process to request aid from FEMA after a disaster and although not <br />required a necessity. A municipality who does not agree to help other jurisdictions may find <br />themselves in jeopardy not to receive aid from the County, State and even FEMA after a disaster. <br />It is strongly recommended to sign these agreements so we will be eligible for disaster monies <br />and aid in time of need. <br />Action Required by Council: <br />Consider approval or other action. of an Interlocal Agreement with Harris County. <br />Auproved for City Council Agenda <br />ebra & Feazelle, City Managly Date <br />
