Disaster Recovery 2024 - Derecho and Hurricane Beryl
In 2024, the City of Houston encountered two devastating weather events: a powerful windstorm from May 16 - 17, and Hurricane Beryl from July 5 - 9, 2024. These storms caused significant damage, impacting countless lives and properties with high winds, intense storms, flooding, and prolonged power outages.
The City of Houston will receive a $314.6 million federal grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to support local disaster recovery and resilience efforts following both climatic events.
