Request by the County Judge for approval to accept an amendment to an agreement with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Office of the Governor Homeland Security Grants Division to extend the grant end date to June 30, 2027, for the FY25 HC - Accessible Hazards Alert System (AHAS) Sustainment Project.
Harris County seeks approval to extend a Homeland Security grant for the Accessible Hazards Alert System through June 30, 2027.
Harris County Commissioners Court is considering a request to accept a grant amendment with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The amendment would extend the end date of the FY25 Accessible Hazards Alert System (AHAS) Sustainment Project to June 30, 2027. The item was introduced on August 24, 2026, and is listed as a grant file under the Commissioners Court.
This grant funds a system that sends emergency alerts to residents, including those with disabilities. Extending the deadline affects how long the county can use federal money to keep that alert system running.
