OEM brought to conclusion a proposal to provide the city access to Pearland Independent School District (PISD) facilities and resources in the event of disaster for:
Staging first responders
Sheltering displaced residents
Establishing disaster recovery centers, debris staging sites, and points of distribution
The PISD Board of Trustees approved an interlocal agreement at its March 2025 meeting and the agreement was subsequently ratified by the Pearland City Council in April, thus bringing the agreement into force for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season.
The proposal also provided emergency access to district transportation resources and fuel supplies.
