by | Feb 4, 2021 | Latest

Gov. Greg Abbott and the Texas Department of Pub­lic Safety released the Texas Homeland Security Strategic Plan 2021-2025 Tuesday, Jan. 26. The plan is the state’s framework for establishing homeland secu­rity priorities fo­cused on a broad range of efforts to develop, sus­tain and employ homeland secu­rity capabilities.

In his open­ing letter, Abbott said the state experienced a wide array of security threats and hazards from the CO­VID-19 pandemic to national disasters such as Hurricane Harvey to mass shootings in Sutherland Springs, Santa Fe, El Paso and Midland-Odessa.

 According to a news re­lease issued by Abbott’s of­fice, the plan builds upon foundations established in the Texas Homeland Security Strategic Plan 2015-2020, but includes adjustments based on progress made in imple­menting the strategy and changes in the state’s risk landscape.
