Harris County Commissioners Court is considering a request to accept a grant amendment with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The amendment would extend the end date of the FY25 Accessible Hazards Alert System (AHAS) Sustainment Project to June 30, 2027. The item was introduced on August 24, 2026, and is listed as a grant file under the Commissioners Court.
This grant funds a system that sends emergency alerts to residents, including those with disabilities. Extending the deadline affects how long the county can use federal money to keep that alert system running.
