SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
2 - Harris County Interlocal Agreements regarding disaster services, a copy for the City to keep,
and a copy for Harris County,
This agreement will allow the City of La Porte to seek help from other municipalities within
Harris County in time of disaster and then provide the same service.
An example would be to request heavy equipment from an area in North Harris County to help
remove debris after a stonn. We would also provide aid to others after we have handled our own
jurisdiction.
This agreement is part of the process to request aid from FEMA after a disaster and although not
required a necessity. A municipality who does not agree to help other jurisdictions may find
themselves in jeopardy not to receive aid from the County, State and even FEMA after a disaster.
It is strongly recommended to sign these agreements so we will be eligible for disaster monies
and aid in time of need.
Action Required bv Council:
Consider approval or other action of an Interlocal Agreement with Harris County.
