Texas HB1168 mandates a study on drought and wildfire effects by the Texas Division of Emergency Management.

Texas HB1168 requires the Texas Division of Emergency Management to conduct a comprehensive study on the potential effects of droughts and wildfires over the next 50 years. The study will assess ecological impacts, including harm to plants, animals, and water bodies, and damage to state parks and public lands. It will also evaluate the effects of droughts on urban areas, such as increased energy and water demand, strain on public health facilities, and declines in business productivity and tourism.
