Relating to a guide on preparing for and responding to a flooding disaster.

HB 45 requires the Texas Division of Emergency Management to create and post online a public guide for civic, volunteer, and community organizations on preparing for and responding to flooding disasters. The guide must cover community engagement strategies, minimizing casualties through volunteer coordination, accessing trauma and recovery services, long-term resilience planning, communication protocols, and training resources. It must be developed in collaboration with relevant state agencies and community stakeholders, and posted on the division's website by April 1, 2026. The bill directly affects local organizations that coordinate disaster response efforts, providing them with standardized guidance for flood preparedness and recovery.
