The resolution addresses the significant delays in the approval of funding for flood mitigation projects in Texas, specifically highlighting the Combes Lateral Drainage Improvement project and the North Main Drainage Improvement project. Despite meeting the necessary requirements and submitting applications to FEMA, these projects have not received final funding approval, leaving communities vulnerable to flooding. The resolution emphasizes the broader challenges Texas residents face in accessing timely federal support, which is crucial for protecting lives and property in flood-prone areas.

In response to these ongoing issues, the resolution urges the Department of Homeland Security to expedite the approval process for all FEMA applications related to flood mitigation projects in Texas. It calls for immediate action to alleviate the delays that have left citizens at risk of life-threatening floods. The Texas Legislature also plans to send official copies of the resolution to the relevant federal agencies to ensure that the urgency of the situation is communicated effectively.
