“Declaring a disaster activates our emergency management plan and gives Comal County the tools to take further action as it becomes necessary,” Krause said last week.
The measure allows Comal County to seek state and federal support as needed and to seek reimbursement for expenses incurred during the disaster, if and when those resources become available.
It also formally activates the county’s emergency operations center and activates plans designed to maintain county services throughout the event.
