Jefferson County Drainage District 6 (District) is currently updating the District’s 2017 Hazard Mitigation Plan, as required by both the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM).  While the nature of natural hazards confronting the citizens of Jefferson County has not changed significantly since the current plan was approved in 2017, due to significant hurricane and tropical storm events in the last five years,  planned hazard mitigation efforts have been updated and beneficial future mitigation actions have been added.
