The resolution addresses the significant delays in funding approval for flood mitigation projects in Texas, specifically highlighting the Combes Lateral Drainage Improvement project and the North Main Drainage Improvement project. Despite meeting 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 issue of Texas communities struggling to access timely federal support, which is critical for protecting residents in flood-prone areas.

In response to these challenges, the 89th Legislature of Texas urges the Department of Homeland Security to expedite the approval process for all FEMA applications related to flood mitigation projects in the state. The resolution calls for immediate action to prevent further harm to citizens affected by flooding and requests that official copies of the resolution be sent to the relevant federal agencies to ensure awareness and prompt action.
