Why it matters
When hurricanes and storms hit our neighborhoods, these contracts help clear fallen trees and debris quickly so emergency vehicles can reach families, businesses can reopen faster, and kids can get back to school sooner.
If this passes
Harris County stays ready for storm season with proven cleanup companies. When disasters hit, debris gets cleared faster so families can return home and businesses can reopen quickly.
If this does not pass
Harris County would need to find new cleanup companies during an emergency, which could slow down recovery after storms and hurricanes hit our communities.
