Local Hazard Mitigation Plans Program (LHMPP)
The Texas General Land Office allocated $25,000,000 to the Local Hazard Mitigation Plans Program (LHMPP). This program provides grants ranging from $20,000 - $100,000 for eligible entities to develop or update local hazard mitigation plans, or as cost share for hazard mitigation planning activities funded through other federal sources.
