Texas’ 2022-2032 SWP will have a special focus on disaster resiliency—preparedness, response, and recovery—and how the state’s historic and cultural resources are handling these issues. Disaster-related planning within the SWP process is funded by the National Park Service’s Emergency Supplemental Historic Preservation Fund (ESHPF). This grant program has funded a wide range of recovery and resiliency efforts throughout states that have been impacted by recent natural disasters, including Texas.
The SWP process will incorporate disaster resiliency discussions to develop a better understanding of existing and potential vulnerabilities of historic and cultural resources. During our public planning meetings, we’ll discuss with attendees how to best respond to and prepare for future natural and human-made disasters.
While the SWP will have a specific goal and objectives related to disaster resiliency, the SWP planning effort also will produce three additional deliverables to help Texans address practical ways to protect individual and public property and landscapes.
Statewide Assessment of Disaster-Related Threats and Recommendations. The SWP planning team will develop as part of the SWP, a separate report providing information for state and local governments. This information will address preparing and reacting to natural and human-made disasters that impact historic resources and landscapes. Content will consider the spectrum of disasters common to Texas and provide recommendations for areas more susceptible to hurricanes, tornadoes, and flooding.
Best Practice Guide for Local Government Planning. The SWP planning team will create a guide that includes the following: a disaster preparation and response planning framework; recommended language for response/recovery ordinances that ensures a quick disaster response for historic resources; and a template for local governments to identify historic resources at risk, evaluate ordinances, strengthen recovery protocols, and integrate historic preservation into other planning and emergency response documents.
Historic Property Owners Handbook. The SWP planning team will create a handbook that provides best practices for property owners in preparing for a natural or human-made disaster, immediate response, and long-term recovery. The Handbook will include information on technical and financial resources.
