Activities or mission (Part I)

-
Hazard Mitigation Plan - The Hazard Mitigation Plans for the City of Houston, our outreach efforts included the distribution of the Hazard Mitigation survey to community members in Spanish and English assisting them with accessing the form online and providing printed surveys. In collaboration with Furr High School we were able to distribute and conduct the survey with seniors to collect youth input on what the plan needs to prioritize and projects that need to be implemented. The Hazard Mitigation Plan is important to our work because it guides the actions the city take to reduce risks and impacts from disasters over the next five years and beyond. The overall goal of the plan is to prevent damage before it occurs, especially during extreme weather events such as hurricanes, tropical storms, thunderstorms, winter storms and more.
Expenses $95,275

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
