Pursuant to provisions of the Texas Disaster Act, the Governor established an Emergency Management Council, consisting of representatives of 36 state agencies and three volunteer groups, to advise and assist in all matters relating to disaster preparedness, response and recovery. During major emergencies and disasters, all or a portion of the Emergency Management Council convenes at the SOC to coordinate the use of state resources to respond to emergency situations and local requests for emergency assistance that cannot be resolved at the disaster district level.
