Harris County's Role in Emergency Management
Our goal at Harris County's Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management is to mitigate, prepare for, respond to and recover from the effects of disasters, be they natural disasters such as hurricanes or floods, to other hazards such as refinery fire.

The County Judge is charged by statute with responsibility for emergency management planning and operations for Harris County.
